Director, Engineering (Lynx + Extensions Platform)

This director owns the engineering that moves customers onto Adaptive streamlined. Many customers carry years of custom code. Lynx is QADs tooling built on AWS ATX that analyzes existing customizations and supports their conversion to approaches compatible with Adaptive streamlined.

It is the most customer-facing engineering leadership role in the transformation.

Responsibilities

• Own the combined roadmap delivery commitments budget and results for Lynx and the Extensions Platform.
