This is an excellent opportunity for experienced engineers who understand service-oriented architecture and want to innovate at scale. You'll be responsible for end-to-end project delivery, defining crucial metrics, and anticipating business needs. The role requires excellent communication skills, as you'll be sharing architectural visions and technical solutions with various stakeholders.

The position offers competitive compensation, including a base salary range of $150,700 to $251,700 per year, plus equity, sign-on payments, and comprehensive benefits.
