## About the Role

* You were an engineer first: You have a strong software engineering foundation and grew into leadership from there.

 * Delegate outcomes: Hand your engineers ownership of results, not task lists, and hold them accountable for delivery.
 * Run production well: Own production quality and reliability, learn from incidents, and keep improving how the team ships.
 * Raise productivity: Drive adoption of AI-enabled development tools and measure what changes.
 * Partner across the business: Work with product and operations stakeholders to turn business needs into sound technical solutions.
