• As part of a small engineering leadership team, foster a culture of psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning

• Delivery & Collaboration

• Partner with Product and Design to translate business goals into clear technical plans and ensure consistent execution
• Communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences, ensuring alignment and managing dependencies
• Drive measurable improvements in team velocity and delivery quality
