Your Unique Contribution:
* 5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including managing 40+ people through Team Leads
* Proven experience scaling engineering organizations and delivery processes
* Strong background in frontend development
* Experience developing engineers and tech leads (mentoring, performance management, growth planning)
* Understanding of complex frontend architectures
* Experience with high-load web applications
* Strong communication skills and experience working in cross-functional teams

* Jest and unit testing
What’s in It for You:
* Leadership of a large frontend engineering organization (~70+ engineers)
* Strong influence on architecture and core product direction
* Highly skilled engineering and leadership team
* Remote-first work format or office option
* Competitive compensation (discussed individually)
* Opportunity to shape engineering processes and strategy
* Learning & development support (training, conferences, knowledge sharing)
* Open and collaborative environment where you can actively shape systems, not just maintain them
