Responsibilities

- Dive into projects across different teams and domains, contribute quickly and meaningfully, and connect the dots architecturally at the company level
- Own business critical technical problems with high ambiguity: decompose them into coordinated workstreams, align multiple teams, and ensure delivery against Button’s most important product goals
- Apply machine learning where it creates real product value, and lead the work of taking ML from prototype to production, including deployment, evaluation, and monitoring
- Partner with Product leadership to connect engineering roadmaps to company strategy, anticipating the technical needs of the business and shaping product direction

- Develop senior engineers into technical leaders through mentorship, sponsorship, feedback, and modeling technical excellence

- A good sense of, or direct experience with, machine learning and what it takes to productionize ML systems in Python: deployment, evaluation, monitoring, and iteration
- The ability to operate at high ambiguity: frame complex open ended problems, align diverse stakeholders, and drive execution to outcomes that matter at the company level
- Experience owning reliability across teams: defining SLOs, leading incident response culture, and improving systemic operational health
