What You Bring to the Role
15+ years of experience in software product engineering, with the majority of your career spent in product-based IT organizations developing commercial software products.
7+ years in senior engineering leadership roles (Director/VP level) within a product company, leading large, globally distributed engineering organizations of 200+ engineers.
