  • Facilitate teams building complex software systems (UIs and Services) from idea inception through planning to experimentation and performance at scale
  • Work closely with Product Management, UX, and Engineering peers & leaders to implement and refine a complex backlog of projects & initiatives
  • Coordinate the efforts of your engineers to deliver features and improvements in a predictable, iterative, and repeatable way
  • Provide hands-on input for architecture and technology strategies that internal and external team members can carry out
  • Champion AI-assisted development practices across both frontend and backend teams, identifying and driving adoption of tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) and best practices that demonstrably improve team velocity and code quality
  • Create an engineering culture of ownership, accountability, testing, and measurement
  • Be a talent builder to attract, mentor, and retain the best-in-class engineers
  • Lead engineers in their day-to-day tasks, system designs, and career growth

  • You are:
  • Obsessive about productivity and feature delivery

  • Demonstrated experience evaluating and adopting AI coding tools, either through personal hands-on use or by driving org-wide adoption
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering fundamentals and an understanding of where AI assistance is most effective in the SDLC

  • Bonus Points:
  • Experience with streaming architectures
  • Experience integrating AI-powered features into consumer products (e.g., search personalization, recommendations, generative content)
