This is not a passive management seat; we are looking for a culture-first leader who has a genuine passion for people, knows how to build team camaraderie, and can cultivate a strong sense of ownership and follow-through among direct reports. Because you will be steering our technology "north star," you must possess the deep technical background in Platform Engineering and Dev(Sec)Ops required to accurately vet timelines, challenge engineering estimates, and keep projects moving forward without micromanagement.

If you are a high-accountability leader with a lot of heart who wants to build both great systems and a tight-knit, supported team, we want to hear from you.
