Leads Stellar’s Solutions Engineering function, managing Solutions Architects and Engineers while overseeing enterprise partner integrations from discovery through production support. The role combines people leadership, systems architecture, technical escalations, partner engagement, program design, quality standards, hiring, training, and certification. It also partners with Product and Engineering to address ecosystem needs, improve tooling, and scale repeatable engagement models for blockchain integrations.

Design, build, and maintain Stellar Core, the distributed system powering the Stellar blockchain ledger and consensus. Develop scalable, resilient components; improve peer-to-peer networking and processing performance; investigate bottlenecks; and contribute to architecture, code reviews, RFCs, formal verification, simulations, and open-source collaboration. The role requires production C++ or Rust expertise, strong software design skills, and ownership of core subsystems.
