About the Role

What You Bring

  • Prior experience in a technical or engineering role, with a strong foundation in system design and architecture.

  • Deep understanding of enterprise SaaS architectures, including APIs, web services, integrations, data pipelines, and multi-tenant systems.

  • Experience building and scaling AI-enabled platforms, integrating AI capabilities into production-grade workflows.

  • Strong knowledge of identity and access control models (RBAC, ABAC), field-level security, and enterprise data models (org structures, user hierarchies).

  • Proven experience building and scaling AI-enabled platforms, translating AI capabilities into reliable, production-grade workflows that deliver real customer and business value.

  • Familiarity with enterprise workflow systems and global SaaS requirements, including localization and translation.

Leadership & Ownership

  • Operates with high agency and autonomy, taking full ownership of platform outcomes from strategy through execution.

  • Leads through technical influence, partnering closely with highly technical engineering teams and mentoring a small group of product managers.

  • Drives clarity and accountability across multiple initiatives, navigating ambiguity and complexity with confidence.

    Skills Set 

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including direct engagement with customers, partners, and industry experts.

  • Highly effective at translating complex technical concepts into clear, actionable narratives for non-technical stakeholders and executives.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with practical experience using data and SQL to investigate issues, validate assumptions, and guide decisions.
