Hands-on and deeply technical. Comfortable with APIs, developer tools, and web applications, and quick to master new products.
You lead from the front, set a high bar for execution, and transform support teams into disciplined, high-performing engines of progress.

Even better if you

Experience with HR tech, ATS systems, or developer productivity tools.
