15+ years of experience in software engineering, with significant experience building scalable systems and platforms
5+ years of experience in engineering leadership, including managing managers and leading multi-team engineering organizations
Proven experience operating in startup or scale-up environments, where speed, ownership, and adaptability are essential. Experience scaling from ~30 to 100+ engineers is a strong plus
Track record as Head of Engineering / VP Engineering in a B2B SaaS, marketplace, or ad/affiliate‑driven environment
Strong technical background in modern backend systems, including JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, and Python
Experience working with cloud platforms (GCP preferred) and scalable distributed architectures

Demonstrated ability to review architecture, guide technical decisions, and maintain credibility with senior engineers and staff-level developers
Experience defining and tracking engineering performance metrics (e.g., DORA metrics) and driving operational improvements
Strong cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with Product, Data, and business leadership
