  • 5+ years of experience in engineering management or technical leadership roles.
  • Proven track record of delivering full-stack digital products at scale.
  • Strong full-stack technical foundation across frontend, backend, and data integration layers.
  • Experience leading large-scale, globally distributed teams and managing production operations.
