- Set and enforce engineering standards: code quality, system design, security, and operational readiness.
- Actively participate in design and architecture reviews across the broader engineering group.
- Stay current with industry trends, tooling, and emerging technologies bring relevant insights back into the team.
People Leadership & Organizational Development
- Lead multiple engineering teams (25+ people), providing clear direction, consistent feedback, and meaningful development opportunities.
- Make people growth a primary responsibility not a nice-to-have. Actively invest in the career development of every engineer in your function; track progress, create opportunities, and remove ceiling blockers.
- Build and sustain a psychologically safe environment where engineers feel empowered to raise concerns, challenge decisions, share failures, and propose ideas without fear of judgment or reprisal.
- Own hiring, onboarding, and retention for your engineering function build the team you need to deliver.
- Establish a culture of extreme ownership and accountability: problems in your domain are your problems, regardless of where they originate.
- Identify and develop future technical leads and senior engineers; actively manage succession depth.
- Work across cultural boundaries effectively our teams operate across Vietnam and Europe.
Delivery & Execution
- Own the delivery commitments for your domain scope, timeline, quality, and post-release stability.
- Remove blockers at the team and organizational level; escalate when necessary with a proposed resolution.
- Drive measurable improvement in delivery throughput and engineering quality over time.
- Ensure systems under your ownership maintain production-grade operational standards: observability, incident response, SLAs.
Cross-functional & Strategic Contribution
- Collaborate with Product, QC, DevOps, and other technical directors to align delivery across the group.
- Contribute to group-level technology strategy, platform evolution, and engineering hiring standards.
- Represent the engineering function credibly with senior business stakeholders translate technical complexity into business terms without losing substance.
- Champion technology adoption including AI-assisted engineering, automation, and modern tooling across your teams.
