This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will stay close to the work by reviewing architecture, guiding technical decisions, supporting escalations, and improving the patterns and tools your team uses to deliver. Your impact will come through strong people leadership, clear communication, and predictable execution across multiple accounts.
