• Promote engineering excellence: code quality, observability, and production readiness.
• Drive adoption of AI capabilities across SDLC, processes, and product.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Support, and cross-functional R&D teams.

Desired Background

• 4+ years of experience leading development teams.
• Strong background in networking (TCP/IP, TLS, VPN, routing, tunneling, etc.).
• Proven experience designing and delivering distributed systems in production.
• Experience with Go (Golang) – significant advantage.
• Experience with AI/ML or AI-driven features – strong advantage.
• Familiarity with modern AI tools and frameworks.
