- Support and enable tech watch and new technology explorations. Question the status quo, sponsor team initiatives, and promote them.
- Understand and challenge critical technical choices and directions (scalability, cost, evolvability ).
- Management & Organization:

- Enhance the organization and address organizational gaps in the context of ongoing mergers and reorganization. Anticipate future needs and challenges. Review and optimize team processes.
- Support your managers in building, prioritizing, and smoothly delivering their roadmaps based on the technical vision and OKRs. Ensure a balance between short-term needs and long-term plans, and accurately prioritize across teams.

- Communication:

- Communicate frequently with top management about team goals, achievements, and roadmap updates.
- Foster strong relationships within the entire organization. Connect with Product & Business teams to anticipate future needs.

**Requirements**:

- 10+ years of experience managing software and data engineering teams.
- Experience managing teams of 20+ people, including middle management.
