You will be tasked with enabling and guiding engineers to work autonomously in multidisciplinary release trains, keeping them in synch with the overall direction of engineering.

Application Platform Usage:

Ensure enterprise application platforms, libraries, and tools are being used to their maximum potential and within the sanctioned technology architecture. Vendor management and flexibility of the solution to accommodate within the overall enterprise architecture need to be ensured.

Technical Documentation:

Have a complete working knowledge of the interdependencies of the assigned technology areas. You will also be responsible for the technical documentation of the software being developed so that all the teams have clear and accurate information about the design, implementation, and behavior of the software.

Team Management and Talent Development:

Manage several engineering teams with direct responsibility for recruiting top talent, establishing development objectives, and tracking performance. You will also mentor and coach engineers to improve their skills and professional growth. You will also assist in determining team composition, role definition, and staffing requirements based on program requirements and individual strengths.

Cross-functional Team Collaboration:

Collaborate with fellow business and tech leaders throughout the organization to realize value from tech solutions. You will ensure the solution meets business requirements without compromising on technical standards and best practices.
