• Manage and coordinate team work: plan and prioritize the engineering backlog, clarify tasks, monitor progress, and remove blockers to ensure smooth delivery
• Identify and address cross-team dependencies and risks, collaborating closely with other teams and services to eliminate bottlenecks
• Maintain strong team performance through clear guidance, skill gap analysis, and professional development support
• Ensure processes are efficient, reasonable, and foster collaboration
• Drive implementation and integration of technical solutions, development processes, and security requirements aligned with company and product strategies
• Participate in product-wide and company-wide engineering initiatives to improve business value and delivery capabilities
• Own and improve team engineering metrics (DX)
• Oversee operational HR processes for team members, including hiring, training, performance reviews, and career growth

• Expertise in AI/ML integration and backend systems integration
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to align with stakeholders, PMs, and cross-functional teams
• Deep understanding of SDLC and product delivery best practices
• Track record of enabling delivery by effectively managing risks, dependencies, and priorities
• People management skills: setting clear expectations, defining career paths, and supporting growth
• Commitment to engineering excellence: setting and maintaining high standards for quality, security, and delivery
• Solution-oriented mindset, focusing on achieving business goals rather than just meeting deadlines
