- Balance near-term product delivery with long-term investments in platform, infrastructure, architecture, and technical quality.
- Help ensure Step's engineering organization can operate reliably and securely as a financial services company serving millions of customers.
- Stay close enough to the technology and product to make informed decisions, challenge assumptions, and contribute when the team needs technical leadership.
- 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with significant experience leading engineering teams and organizations.
- Proven experience managing and developing engineering managers and senior engineers.
- Strong Computer Science and software engineering fundamentals.
- A track record of building and scaling reliable, customer-facing software products.
- Experience designing and evolving distributed systems and engineering organizations as products and companies scale.
- Strong technical judgment and the ability to make pragmatic architecture and technology decisions.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong product sense and an ability to connect technical decisions to customer and business outcomes.
- A hands-on, low-ego leadership style with a strong bias toward ownership and execution.
- Passion for software quality, engineering excellence, and building teams that move quickly without compromising reliability.
- Experience working in fintech, banking, payments, lending, or other highly regulated financial systems.
- Experience building products at significant consumer scale.
- Experience leading engineering teams through a period of rapid growth or organizational change.
- Experience with mobile-first consumer products.
