Guide teams through complex delivery cycles and long-term roadmap execution. Innovation, AI & Technical Strategy: Identify and explore emerging technologies and trends, especially around AI, to accelerate the integration of innovative capabilities in Content Publisher.

Proven experience leading engineering initiatives across large, distributed systems and teams. Strong full-stack experience with both frontend and backend languages (especially TypeScript and Go), CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.

Strong grasp of software architecture principles and the tradeoffs between reliability, scalability, and simplicity. A track record of solving complex engineering problems and improving systems over time. Ability to work across organizational boundaries and influence technical decisions at all levels.
