  • Drive Predictable Delivery: Manage high-impact roadmaps by optimizing agile workflows and proactively addressing technical debt to ensure the consistent release of enterprise-grade features that meet business KPIs.
  • Bridge Strategy and Execution: Serve as the primary conduit between Product Management and Engineering, translating complex customer requirements into actionable technical priorities and long-term milestones.
  • Champion Professional Growth: Elevate the organization’s collective capability by mentoring senior and staff-level engineers, guiding career development, and setting the standard for modern software development best practices.

What You Bring

  • Distributed Systems Expertise: Deep technical proficiency in architecting and shipping large-scale enterprise software, with specific experience in high-availability systems, cloud-native technologies, or storage protocols.
  • Adaptive People Leadership: Proven experience managing and growing software engineering teams, with a track record of navigating organizational complexity and fostering a high-performance culture.
  • Operational Command: Mastery of delivery management and lean engineering processes, demonstrating the ability to balance rapid feature velocity with system stability, security, and quality.
  • Influential Communication: The ability to articulate complex technical trade-offs and project health to executive leadership while remaining deeply connected to the engineering team’s daily technical challenges.
  • Location: We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara, CA office in compliance with Everpure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
