- Cross-Functional Stakeholder Management: Partner closely with Commercial leaders and Campaign Management to translate technical realities into business language.
- Hands-on Technical Oversight: Conduct critical code reviews, lead incident response, and drive critical bug resolution or technical debt triage.

## What We Are Looking For

- 8+ years of total software engineering experience, incl. 4+ years in engineering leadership, directly managing frontend and/or backend engineering teams.
- You maintain absolute composure and clear, structured thinking when multiple operational issues arise simultaneously.
- You hold yourself and your team to a high technical bar, and you see very high standards on platform integrity as non-negotiable.
- You are comfortable navigating and guiding engineering roadmaps in a growth environment.
- You bring hands-on experience or deep technical comfort with TypeScript, PHP, Snowflake, AWS, and GitLab CI/CD.
- You have experience implementing and utilizing code quality tools such as SonarQube and Cypress, and documenting decisions through ADRs.
- Ideally you have domain expertise in AdTech / MarTech and high-complexity SaaS products
- You feel comfortable working in a remote-first environment
