About you

• You have 5+ years of software engineering leadership, with a record of building and scaling product engineering teams.
• You've hired, mentored, and grown engineering managers and technical leads.
• You understand modern cloud architectures (microservices, API-first, multi-tenant) and can apply them in practice.
• You're familiar with AWS/Azure, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and secure development practices.
• You naturally partner with Product and UX to create intuitive, impactful digital guest experiences.
• You're a clear communicator who connects technical work to business outcomes.
