-
Product Ownership: Work closely with stakeholders to understand the "why" behind the "what," ensuring engineering efforts align with the broader business vision.
What You Bring

Python Mastery: An extensive background in senior-level Python back-end engineering. You should still feel at home in a codebase and be hands-on.
-
Proven Leadership: Experience managing direct reports or mentoring engineering teams.
-
Senior Engineering Judgment: The ability to make fast, reliable decisions based on experience and technical maturity.
Bonus Points For:
