Job highlights

- 12+ years in software engineering with substantial hands-on experience and 4+ years managing engineers or engineering leaders (proposed experience guide)
- Experience running execution across multiple teams,resolving resource constraints,dependencies and complex delivery risks
- Own engineering execution health, delivery predictability, dependency resolution and recovery plans across all six pods; Leads retain pod-level commitments and implementation ownership.
- Manage, coach and evaluate six Engineering Leads; guide performance management, hiring, succession, staffing and development across their teams.
- Balance capacity across roadmap delivery, modernization, automation, quality and reliability within approved priorities and headcount.
- Serve as first management escalation for significant L3 incidents; mobilize engineering capacity, coordinate cross-pod recovery and ensure RCA actions and durable fixes are completed.
- Improve engineering practices and outcomes using lead time, escaped defects, change failure, rework, repeat incidents and automation effectiveness.
- Work with Principal and Staff Engineers to turn approved modernization, data and automation direction into achievable pod plans without assuming architecture authority.
- Partner with Product, Delivery, DevOps and Support on feasibility, dependencies, incident handoffs and engineering risks; provide consolidated execution visibility to the Head of Engineering.

What You Bring





- 12+ years in software engineering with substantial hands-on experience and 4+ years managing engineers or engineering leaders (proposed experience guide).
- Proven people leadership: coaching, performance decisions, development, hiring and building accountable technical leads.
- Experience running execution across multiple teams, resolving resource constraints, dependencies and complex delivery risks.
- Solid technical credibility in Java enterprise applications, Spring Boot, APIs, SQL, distributed systems, CI/CD and automated testing.
- Production engineering judgment, including incident escalation, recovery coordination, root-cause analysis and reliability improvement.
- Ability to collaborate with Product and Delivery without taking over roadmap prioritization, commercial commitments or project coordination.

What Sets You Apart

- Have led several product engineering teams through incremental modernization of a live enterprise platform.
- Have developed Engineering Leads and improved predictable delivery without adding unnecessary approval layers.
- Have handled high-impact production incidents while establishing sustainable escalation and on-call practices.
- Understand workflow-rich enterprise SaaS, US customer commitments and engineering organizations of roughly 30-50 people.

Role Boundaries

- Engineering Leads own their pods people,



technical design, quality and delivery; the EM manages through Leads rather than assigning work directly to engineers.
- Principal and Staff Engineers retain architecture, data/platform, modernization and automation technical mandates.
- Product owns priorities; Delivery owns cross-functional program coordination; DevOps owns deployment/platform operations; Support owns L1/L2 qualification.
- L3 owns qualified diagnosis and incident coordination; owning capability pods retain permanent defect fixes. Critical decisions beyond EM authority escalate to Head of Engineering.
- After-hours escalation coverage requires an agreed rotation and backup; the EM is not presumed to be continuously on call.

Success in This Role

- Within 30 days: map pod capabilities, leaders, capacity, delivery risks, production escalations and baseline metrics.
- Within 60 days: establish one cross-pod execution review, Lead coaching cadence, dependency management and L3 escalation process.
- Within 90 days: demonstrate clearer ownership, faster dependency resolution, better incident follow-through and measurable quality or execution improvement.
- Over time: six pods operate predictably with fewer routine escalations to the Head of Engineering while modernization and reliability improve.
