## Job Description
## What You’ll Do

### Strategy & Ownership
- Own the engineering strategy and roadmap for payments used by the Storage vertical, aligned to company and product goals.

- Partner with Product, Architecture, and Security to define long-term Architecture and Design.

### Delivery & Execution
- Lead multiple teams to deliver high-impact initiatives across the payment vertical.
- Establish clear execution plans, milestones, and success metrics; ensure teams hit commitments while managing risk and trade-offs.
- Collaborate closely with product engineering teams to design integration patterns, migration plans, and rollout strategies that minimize customer disruption.

### Engineering Excellence & Operations
- Own the operational health of platform services (availability, performance, incident response, SLAs).
- Drive secure-by-default engineering practices and are financially compliant (e.g., payments-adjacent, PCI-impacted, SOC2 expectations).
- Raise the bar on reliability, observability, and resilience, including on-call practices, runbooks, and post-incident learning.
- Partner with Security to evaluate and mitigate platform risks, including abuse, privilege escalation, and integration misuse.

### People Leadership
- Lead, develop, and retain a high-performing group of engineering managers and senior ICs, including career growth, coaching, and performance management.
- Build a healthy, inclusive team culture that values accountability, psychological safety, and continuous improvement.
- Shape hiring plans and partner with Talent/HR to recruit exceptional engineering talent in both US and international locations.

### Cross-Functional Leadership
- Act as the primary engineering counterpart for Product and PMO on Payment.
- Represent Payment in architecture reviews, quarterly planning, and portfolio trade-off discussions, clearly articulating impact, risk, and dependencies.
- Communicate status, risks, and decisions to executive stakeholders in a clear, concise, and data-informed way.

## What We’re Looking For

### Required Experience
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years in engineering leadership (managing managers and/or multiple teams).
- Proven track record owning platform or shared services in a multi-product B2B SaaS environment (e.g., payments, identity/SSO, permissions, access control, security-sensitive services).
- Demonstrated success leading complex, cross-team migrations or platformization efforts (e.g., consolidating multiple legacy services into a shared platform).
- Strong technical background in **modern cloud architectures** (microservices, APIs, event-driven systems) and familiarity with secure coding practices.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience working directly with senior product and business leaders.
- Experience working with **AI tooling** (i.e. Claude Code, Github CoPilot).

### Preferred Experience
- Experience in payments-adjacent, compliance-heavy, or security-sensitive domains (e.g., **PCI**, **SOC2**, HIPAA-like environments).
- Background working with multi-tenant enterprise customers, particularly around enterprise **SSO**, delegated administration, and granular permissions.
- Experience leading distributed teams (onshore/offshore) and scaling organizations through change.
- Prior experience in property management, fintech, or similar vertical SaaS is a plus, but not required.
