Partner with product on delivering solutions to our customers that keep DISCO ahead of our competitors
Skills and Experience The successful candidate in this position:
Is a proven leader, who has successfully taken high-performance engineering teams through the scaling period DISCO is in (50 to 100 people)
Has a strong record of hiring and developing great, diverse talent
Has 7+ years of engineering leadership experience, including experience overseeing an engineering org of 20+
Is comfortable operating in an environment where you need to motivate teams by working both with managers and directly with engineers
Has successfully managed hybrid and remote teams working across multiple time zones

Has a strong sense of ownership and accountability
Is enthusiastic about diving into the code and getting your hands dirty when needed
Has strong technical mastery in software engineering but remains curious and committed to learning and improving their craft
