    Required Qualifications
  • Demonstrated true leadership experience managing global engineering teams and multi-million dollar technology budgets, with a proven ability to scale and optimize technical organizations.
  • Strong hands-on technical background, including recent experience contributing to code and architecture (e.g., 30-40% of time), ideally within a product or software-focused company.
  • Expertise in managing and migrating critical applications across diverse cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, Oracle), ensuring high availability and compliance.
  • Proven track record of achieving aggressive security and quality certifications (e.g., SOC2 Type 2, ISO 27001) and maintaining exceptional system uptime (e.g., 99.99%).
  • Experience driving complex, concurrent enterprise initiatives, such as ERP implementations and warehouse automation projects, to 100% on-time and on-budget delivery.
This pivotal role requires a technically deep, results-oriented leader to guide the platform engineering organization through a period of critical growth and comprehensive digital transformation.
