- Experience working with distributed or offshore teams.
- Background in platform or integration-heavy products.
Team & Environment:
- Leadership of two engineering teams (approximately 7 engineers total) with mixed seniority levels.

- Emphasis on collaboration, autonomy, and continuous improvement.
Benefits
