What We're Looking For

We are looking for a

strong engineering leader rather than a hands-on developer

— someone who can provide technical direction, lead multiple teams, improve engineering practices and deliver complex software systems reliably.

If you have a strong background in

software engineering leadership, mission-critical systems and modern engineering practices

, and are excited about using AI/GenAI to transform how engineering teams work, we would like to hear from you.
