People Leadership & Talent Management

• Direct Management: Act as the direct manager for a team of engineers in India, overseeing their career development, performance reviews, and daily engagement.

• Tech Debt Advocacy: Identify areas of technical debt and perform cost/benefit analyses for resolving them. You will work directly with Product teams to ensure this work is integrated into the roadmap.

Product & Stakeholder Partnership

• Roadmap Execution: Partner with Product Managers to define deliverables and refine technical estimates. You are responsible for all resource assignments and ensuring the roadmap is realistic.
