Technical Profile

5+ years as a hands-on individual-contributor engineer, followed by 3–5+ years as an Engineering Manager or equivalent managing 15+ engineers — with sustained tenure in each role rather than a pattern of short stints.

You've owned end-to-end delivery and people for an engineering org at a B2B SaaS company with a large external user base — whether your title was CTO, VP Engineering, Head of Engineering, Director of Engineering, or similar — including holding Tech Leads accountable to the roadmap and technical plan.

Deep, hands-on ownership of production infrastructure and operations at scale — 5+ years building or leading a complex SaaS application with a large external user base, with direct accountability for reliability, scalability, incident management and on-call, capacity planning, and operational excellence on a live production SaaS. You've held the pager, not just the org chart.

You are a genuinely strong technical engineer — sufficiently fluent in cloud-infrastructure fundamentals, modern technical architecture, data modeling, scaling, security, and optimization to make system, data, and security architecture decisions yourself (our stack: Node.js/TypeScript/NestJS, React, MySQL/Aurora). You can point to specific high-impact technical decisions you've made and defend the trade-offs behind them.

You have led SDLC and you're an innovative, hands-on adopter of AI coding tools who's excited to drive an AI-native development transformation and continuously push boundaries.

Proven people leadership: hiring, leveling, performance management, and building accountability — including directly managing Tech Leads or Engineering Managers, and comfort working directly with both DevOps and a QA Lead.

Comfortable being the face of engineering: representing technology to Monument's board, investors, and customers with the same fluency you bring to your own team.

Has directly managed a QA function — or can point to specific examples of driving quality initiatives. Can articulate a long-term QA strategy for a fast-growing SaaS platform at Monument's scale, or can point to specific examples of driving quality initiatives in past experience.

Based in Brazil, professionally fluent in English, able to travel to the US as needed, and mature enough to run the org while directing a strong Principal Architect in the US who reports to you and serves as your technical sounding board, and partnering daily with a US (Dallas) leadership team across time zones.
