  • Own the engineering execution for rapid experimentation, ensuring code quality and system integrity even in fast-paced iterations.
  • Empower teams to work across codebases and business domains, driving alignment with code owners and platform teams.
  • Establish engineering best practices for experimentation (clean rollbacks, telemetry instrumentation, A/B testing frameworks, rapid MVP builds).
  • Implement rituals (sprint planning, retrospectives, experiment reviews) to drive high-velocity, high-quality releases.

You Have:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with 5+ years of experience of building and managing diverse and empowered teams.
• Track record of leading growth engineering or product experimentation teams, ideally in a tech-driven, consumer-focused company.
• Passion for data-driven product development and rigorous experimentation.

• Experience leading distributed teams across regions and time zones.
• Excellent cross-functional leadership and experience communicating updates and resolutions to partners and executives.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong understanding of customer lifecycle metrics (activation, retention, monetization) and experimentation KPIs.
