- Own the roadmap for your domain, define ambitious goals, and reliably deliver against them
- Build and operate the systems that power the software development lifecycle — build systems, CI/CD, developer tooling, deployment automation — with high reliability, observability, and performance
- Improve engineering and researcher productivity by building well-designed platform abstractions, standardizing workflows, and reducing infrastructure friction
- Partner across infrastructure, security, research, and engineering to ensure seamless integration
- As the team grows, potentially expand scope into cloud platform services — including workload routing, resource optimization, and cost governance

- Computer Science degree or equivalent practical experience
- 2+ years of engineering management experience
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Demonstrated experience managing and mentoring engineering teams
- Proven ability to attract, hire, and retain exceptional engineering talent

- Knowledge of best practices for scalable system design and operational excellence
- Ability to dive deep technically while maintaining a strategic view of platform architecture
- Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering and research organizations
