• Effective collaboration and communication skills, able to discuss technical topics clearly and engage in productive technical discussions.
• Track record of identifying and removing systemic organizational bottlenecks and championing engineering standards and best practices across multiple teams.
• Demonstrated ability to own and drive alliance-level OKRs, holding teams and stakeholders accountable for outcomes.
