About the role

  • Lead the end-to-end engineering lifecycle, from problem definition and PRD creation to delivery, launch, and iterative improvement across backend, AI, and data-platform initiatives.
  • Translate business goals into detailed technical requirements, epics, and user stories for engineering teams working in Node.js, Python, React, and GCP/AWS cloud environments.
  • Partner with engineering, data science, DevOps, QA, and design to prioritize roadmap items aligned with OKRs, cost constraints, and delivery velocity.
  • Define and own success metrics including SLAs, SLOs, scalability, and cost-performance trade-offs while ensuring reliable and high-performing system delivery.
  • Lead the development of AI-driven automation initiatives, such as OCR pipelines, reconciliation engines, anomaly detection, and LLM-powered data extraction.
  • Conduct technical feasibility assessments and guide architecture decisions (e.g., GCP Cloud SQL vs. Aurora, Kafka vs. Pub/Sub, RDS Proxy adoption).
  • Maintain alignment across teams through sprint planning, stakeholder reviews, backlog grooming, retrospectives, and transparent documentation.
  • Own engineering documentation standards including PRDs, SOWs, cost models, and architecture diagrams.
  • Coordinate with key vendors and partners (e.g., Altinity, AWS, Petco Cloud) to support integrations, platform scaling, and compliance readiness.

Requirements

  • 5 to10 years of engineering experience, ideally in fast-paced environments, with a mix of hands-on technical work and leadership.
  • Strong backend and cloud expertise across GCP/AWS, distributed systems, APIs, data workflows, and automation frameworks.
  • Experience leading complex engineering or platform teams working on AI, automation, or large-scale data products.
  • Comfortable diving deep into architecture and guiding engineers through trade-offs in reliability, scale, and cost.
  • A builder’s mindset, outcome-focused, pragmatic, and able to find elegant solutions without overengineering.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to distill technical concepts for both engineering teams and business stakeholders.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Bonus: Experience in startup or high-growth product environments where speed, adaptability, and ownership are essential.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive Benefits: We cover 100% of health, dental, and vision insurance premiums for you and your dependents which means no out-of-pocket costs. Eligibility starts from day one itself.
