This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, enjoys understanding how complex systems behave, and wants their work to meaningfully influence how technology scales across the organization.

  • Drive initiatives with real influence on engineering velocity, system reliability, and firm-wide risk culture.

  • Curiosity for emerging technologies and the risks they introduce.

  • Clear, influential communicator comfortable working with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
