Translate high-level product needs into an actionable engineering roadmap. Prioritize and drive key initiatives forward, run sprint planning and stand-ups, and ensure the team delivers with high quality on product and business goals in this critical area of the product
  • Platform Leadership: Balance building new features with managing tech debt to maintain a reliable, scalable platform. Evolve the payments platform for high leverage – architect systems and services that can accelerate multiple product initiatives across Coursera
  • Mediating: Foster an inclusive, collaborative team environment. Proactively address interpersonal issues and facilitate crucial conversations with empathy and fairness. Ensure every team member feels empowered, engaged, and comfortable sharing ideas and concerns

Requirements:
