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.
