As a leader in the Engineering department, you will be working with other Engineering Managers and Principal Engineers to empower the engineering teams that enable the company to deliver its mission to reduce consumer harm by making life simpler, fairer, and safer.
Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team you’ll work collaboratively with other team members to set the vision for their delivery squads and translate that vision into clear, focused deliverables. You’ll help the team meet high standards for the quality, security, accessibility, and architecture of the software they ship.
As part of the broader engineering leadership team, you’ll also contribute to the wider technology strategy and help deliver as a department.
