Transparent and direct by default; you advocate clearly for your reports and proactively resolve ambiguity or conflicts, especially when priorities collide.
A strong communicator who thrives in a fully remote and globally distributed environment, comfortable collaborating asynchronously across time zones and cultures.
You take initiative and can move work forward in complex, systems-focused problem spaces, such as stateful systems, eventual consistency, and reconciliation loops.

Comfortable working with engineering teams who have a strong sense of autonomy in their decision-making.
Deeply customer-focused, consistently grounding technical decisions in real-world user and business impact.
Comfort with AI-assisted tooling and an expectation that you are curious and comfortable integrating AI-powered tools into a team's workflow.

Experience with high-volume billing systems, usage metering, and customer-facing cost management applications (like CMAB).
Practical experience implementing and automating complex pricing logic, promotions, discounts, rebilling, and usage forgiveness, while ensuring strong auditability.

Experience working on SaaS provisioning, tenancy, regional expansion, plugin rollout, or customer lifecycle systems.
