Process Optimization: Maintain and improve agile development processes. Organize schedules, track deliverables, check work for technical accuracy, and ensure robust operational reliability. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Effectively communicate and coordinate work with other managers and staff to seamlessly integrate complex, cross-domain features.

Leadership & Organization: Highly organized and detail-oriented. Proven ability to manage project delivery, balance competing priorities, and challenge the status quo to make our products better. Analytical & Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to evaluate complex technical information, solve intricate system challenges, and validate the engineering methods used by your staff. Excellent Communication: Strong verbal and written skills for overseeing staff, setting clear expectations, and presenting technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Modern Workflow Awareness: An understanding of AI-enabled development tools (like GitHub Copilot or Claude) to help the team accelerate workflows while maintaining high quality.
