How will you make an impact & Requirements
Strategic Leadership & Vision
Technical Decision Ownership: Lead and document high-stakes technical decisions, including "build vs. buy" analyses, vendor selections, and architecture overhauls.
Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with UX and Product leadership to translate product vision into a proactive technical implementation strategy.

Tactical Problem Solving: Act as the ultimate "unblocker" for engineering teams facing complex technical hurdles that stall progress.
Qualifications & Skills
Technical Depth: You can answer 95%+ of technical questions regarding your zone’s systems (and you know exactly where to find the answers for the other 5%).
Strategic Thinking: Proven ability to align technical choices with broader corporate strategy and product goals.
Collaboration: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders (UX, Product, Executive leadership).
Mentorship: A track record of acting as a "force multiplier," improving the output and technical growth of the engineers around you.
