- Mentor and Scale a World-Class Team: Lead a distributed team of 30+ engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, speed, and pragmatism. Delegate effectively while keeping legacy systems stable.
What Youll Bring

- Hands-On Architectural Credibility: Deep expertise in distributed systems, TypeScript, and complex Salesforce integrations; able to guide senior engineers through tough technical decisions.
