Required

A senior technology leader with 12+ years of experience spanning software engineering, architecture, and transformation leadership

Fluent in ambiguity — able to build structure from chaos and translate between technical and business perspectives

Experienced leading large, complex initiatives involving multiple work streams and 20–30+ engineers or technical leads

Technically credible at the architecture and design level (200–300 depth); capable of white-boarding solutions, reviewing approaches, and earning respect from engineering teams

Skilled at navigating executive-level relationships, handling difficult conversations, and influencing direction through trust and evidence

A systems thinker who connects people, process, and technology — never solving in isolation

Preferred

Application architecture or software engineering background or experience in infrastructure or data is valuable but must include a cross-domain perspective

Strong familiarity with modern cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), CI/CD and DevOps, platform engineering, and testing and quality automation

Previous consulting experience strongly preferred; experience in product engineering leadership (Director/VP/Head of Engineering) also relevant if adaptable to consulting environments

Experience in regulated or complex industries (finance, healthcare, aerospace/defense) a plus
