Job Description:
• Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team focused on integrations and platform connectivity.
• Define and evolve a scalable integration architecture that supports multiple types of workflows and external systems.
• Build shared frameworks, APIs, and infrastructure that reduce the marginal cost of future integrations.
• Partner across engineering teams to align on ownership boundaries, shared services, and platform standards.
• Drive clarity in prioritization—partnering with product management to focus on the highest-impact integration opportunities rather than reacting to every request.
• Ensure integrations are observable, reliable, secure, and resilient to external system failures.
• Embed strong discovery and experimentation practices to validate integration opportunities before deep investment.
• Develop engineers through direct coaching, clear expectations, and regular feedback.
Requirements:
• Experience managing high-performing engineering teams.
• Strong orientation toward outcomes over output—you care about impact, not activity.
• A clear sense of ownership: you and your team solve problems end-to-end.
• Ability to focus the team on the highest-leverage opportunities and say no when needed.
• Comfort leading through rapid experimentation and iterative learning.
• Track record of shipping small, frequent releases in production environments.
• Encourages the use of modern tooling, including AI-assisted development, to improve engineering velocity and quality.
• Strong experience with API design and external system integrations.
• Deep understanding of authentication, authorization, and secure system-to-system communication.
• Experience with event-driven systems, webhooks, data synchronization, and distributed reliability patterns.
• Familiarity with the realities of third-party systems (rate limits, versioning, backward compatibility, partial failures).
• Experience building internal frameworks or platform capabilities that enable other teams.
• Ability to guide architecture and system design without being the primary hands-on contributor.
• Proven ability to work across multiple engineering teams with different ownership domains.
• Strong communication skills and comfort aligning stakeholders around trade-offs.
• Experience navigating shared responsibility models and resolving cross-team ambiguity constructively.
