- Lead multiple engineering teams through managers and senior technical leaders across commerce, membership, and promise systems.

- Own a substantive engineering portfolio spanning our commerce, membership, and promise portfolios.

- Create clear boundaries, interfaces, and ownership within the domain so that most roadmap work can be delivered with fewer cross-team handshakes and lower organizational drag.

- Build a stronger leadership bench under you by coaching managers, improving role clarity, and raising the quality of engineering management across the portfolio.

Technical Direction and Architecture Quality :

- Drive sound technical direction across the systems owned.

- Review major designs and ensure teams are not solving domain problems through short-term patches that increase complexity, weaken correctness, or create hidden operational debt.

- Improve service boundaries, reduce coupling, and raise the quality of engineering judgment across the domain.

- Partner effectively with architects and principal engineers to make scalable, well-reasoned decisions on design, interfaces, and evolution of the stack.

Execution and Delivery :

- Improve delivery predictability, release discipline, and production readiness across the portfolio.

- Build strong operating mechanisms around planning, dependency management, design review, production health, incident learning, and launch quality.

- Reduce the blast radius of medium-sized projects by simplifying ownership and creating a more coherent engineering operating model for the domain.

- Raise the quality of execution without normalizing fragility.

Reliability, Correctness, and Business Outcomes :

- Own the engineering health of systems that directly influence conversion, order quality, membership experience, ETA quality, serviceability accuracy, and promise reliability.

- Ensure the teams build and operate these systems with strong correctness, observability, and production discipline.

- Partner with product, operations, finance, program management, and senior leadership to surface trade-offs early and make high-quality decisions.

Talent and Org Building :

- Hire, coach, and calibrate engineering managers and senior engineers across the portfolio.

- Raise the bar on ownership, technical depth, delivery quality, and leadership maturity within the teams.

- Build a domain organization that can scale without excessive dependence on senior most leaders for day-to-day arbitration.

- Identify capability gaps early and create stretch assignments, mentoring, and structural clarity to close them.

Requirements :

- 15 to 18 years of in-depth software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent leading managers and multi-team engineering portfolios.

- Proven experience leading engineering teams in one or more of the following areas: commerce or transaction systems, payments or pricing, membership or subscription systems, serviceability or ETA systems, logistics promise, or large-scale consumer internet platforms.

- Strong engineering depth and the ability to evaluate architecture, system design, service boundaries, and operational risk without needing to be hands-on in every subsystem.

- Demonstrated success building and leading teams through engineering managers rather than only direct IC leadership.

- Strong judgment on how to balance speed, quality, and maintainability in high-scale systems.

- The ability to partner effectively with product, operations, finance, program management, and senior leadership.

- A strong bias for clarity, ownership, simplification, and dependable execution.

Strong Differentiators :

- Experience in e-commerce, quick commerce, logistics, marketplaces, or other real-time transaction-heavy businesses.

- Experience owning systems directly tied to conversion, checkout, payment, promise, or serviceability.

- Experience reducing organizational and technical coupling across a multi-team engineering area.

- A strong track record of improving delivery predictability and engineering quality in a growing organization.

- Experience leading platform adjacent customer domains where engineering choices have both business and operational impact
