• Understanding of modern software frameworks, system architecture, and best practices for building scalable SaaS applications.

• Desire to grow as both a technical leader and people manager in an engineering atmosphere that moves quickly and strives to raise the bar. 
• Ability to work across business units—you've collaborated with Product, Sales, Customer Success, or Support teams to deliver outcomes.

How you’ll Raise the Bar:

• Champion modern development practices like test-driven development, frequent releases, and continuous improvement. Ensure your team ships with both velocity and quality. 
• Build a culture where engineers are challenged, supported, and able to do their best work. Grow their capabilities and create clear paths for development.
