Nice to have: - 8+ years of industry experience, that includes time as a Staff-level engineer before transitioning into management. - 2+ years of engineering management experience - A track record of setting strategy and executing against roadmaps in ambiguous environments while navigating business, product, and technical tradeoffs.
