You’ll partner with our Sr. Director of Engineering to enable greater organizational scale and effectiveness, and contribute to key strategic product and business decisions.

What Makes This Job Awesome?

• Own delivery of a complex, challenging, and high-visibility product roadmap.

• You have a strong technical background with experience building, shipping and maintaining web applications and services
