About the Role

You will lead the Data Products and CCIP engineering efforts, operating at both strategic and hands-on levels. You will shape system architecture, elevate engineering standards, and ensure the reliability and performance of high-availability systems. You will scale and structure teams, drive incident response and root cause analysis, and represent engineering in high-stakes internal and external discussions to influence product and infrastructure strategy.

Requirements

• Scaled an engineering organization of 60+ engineers through periods of growth and change, including restructuring and high-velocity hiring and performance management
• Owned production systems with 99.99%+ uptime requirements in adversarial or financially consequential environments, including direct accountability for incident response and root cause analysis
• Made high-impact architectural decisions under real-world constraints and elevated engineering standards across teams
• Demonstrated deep technical fluency in distributed data systems, including tradeoffs across latency, reliability, and data delivery guarantees in real-time or near-real-time environments
• Clear, informed conviction in blockchain technology, supported by hands-on engagement with crypto ecosystems and ability to articulate its importance
• Preferred: experience operating at an executive level representing engineering in customer-facing or leadership settings
• Preferred: experience working with founders in high-growth, post-Series B environments and contributing to operational scaling

Responsibilities

• Scale and evolve a high-performing engineering organization and adapt team structure to support growth
• Define and drive architecture for mission-critical data delivery and cross-chain communication systems
• Establish engineering standards and practices that elevate system design quality and maintainability
• Ensure resilient, fault-tolerant infrastructure for adversarial and financially sensitive environments
• Drive incident response and root cause analysis for production systems
• Influence technical direction through hands-on contributions, design leadership, and cross-functional alignment
• Represent engineering in high-stakes internal and external contexts to shape product and infrastructure strategy
