• Lead multiple engineering teams responsible for shipping new features and improving Runpod’s customer experience across console, APIs, and developer workflows. Ensure predictable, high-velocity execution. • Partner with Program management, Product and GTM to shape strategy, define quarterly goals, and convert requirements into clear technical scopes, milestones, and measurable outcomes. • Hire, mentor, and grow engineering managers and senior ICs. Create a culture of ownership, speed, and craft in a remote-first environment. • Run feature lifecycle processes - discovery support, design/architecture reviews, build phases, QA and rollout plans, release comms, and post-launch iteration. • Establish and evolve standards for lifecycle management, sprint/kanban execution, code review, CI/CD quality gates, release safety, documentation, and retrospectives. • Ensure engineering work aligns to user impact and business value. Constantly leverage customer insights, product analytics, and operational data to refine priorities. • Balance speed and reliability by improving automated testing, staging/preview environments, observability for product surfaces, and regression prevention. • Provide architectural oversight for product systems (backend services, APIs, user workflows, integrations), ensuring scalability and coherence without bottlenecking teams. • Coordinate dependencies cleanly with infra/SRE teams to ensure high quality product delivery.
