- Experience leading programs at organization-wide scope with competing priorities.
- Deep familiarity with developer-facing products or platform engineering.
- Strong technical depth to work directly with engineers and architects on system design.
- Proven ability to influence without authority across Engineering, Product, Design, and Go-to-Market.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and defining structure where none exists.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience with modern cloud-native software development, including CI/CD, release management, and API-first development.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience delivering AI/ML or generative AI products.
- Working familiarity with GenAI concepts such as RAG, agents, model evaluation, and inference cost tradeoffs.
- Habit of using AI tools for program planning, tracking, and communication.
- Hands-on experience with Snowflake, data platforms, or developer tooling products.
- Experience driving developer ecosystem programs such as SDKs or drivers.
- Track record of building data-driven program health mechanisms.
- Experience in a high-growth technology company environment.
