- Provide technical direction for the team's control plane packet-processing systems, working with engineers and adjacent teams to ensure sound design and maintainable solutions
- Translate engineering priorities into clear plans, managing delivery, risks, and dependencies
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align on architecture, trade-offs, and system evolution
- Build a strong team environment through coaching, feedback, and structured development

**What We Expect**

- Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams, including ownership of team performance, delivery, and development
- Solid foundation in networking protocols and concepts, particularly TCP/IP
- Strong technical foundation through hands-on software engineering in Go or C++, or through substantial software/system architecture experience
