Bridging engineering excellence and business impact through collaboration across every level of the organization
Strengthening our engineering function alongside a talented team that brings both deep institutional knowledge and fresh perspectives, in a team and company culture that’s (very) low on politics and ego
Building systems that don't just serve the business, they propel it forward
Turning chaos into order, who sees tech debt reduction as a strategic opportunity, and who believes the best engineering happens when you're embedded with the business teams who depend on your work
