2. Experience shipping large-scale programs while managing scheduling, resource planning, and stakeholder communication for senior-level audiences.
3. Technical aptitude with the ability to understand distributed systems and translate technical issues into prioritized actions.
4. Experience predicting execution risks and building data-backed proposals to achieve team alignment.
5. Experience with the product development lifecycle, including creating technical documentation (such as PRDs or ERDs).
6. Experience driving efficiencies through process definition, runbooks, or tooling automation.
7. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Management Information Systems, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience).
