What we are looking for in you:

  • You have a strong experience in engineering and process management in an agile environment
  • You love developing and growing people and teams and have a track record of doing it
  • You have led successful compliance and certification efforts, understand well the process and stakeholders management required

  • You worked on successful open source projects known for their demonstrated engineering processes

Additional Skills That You Might Also Bring:

  • Background as a software developer
  • Experience in establishing product engineering development metrics and KPIs
  • Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills
