What success looks like
Success means moving VCS from a platform subsystem to a clear, strategic ecosystem. You’ll have built a compelling product vision that engineering teams are aligned on and customers are excited about. You won’t just be copying what exists. You’ll be finding entirely new ways to solve code-change workflows, especially as AI becomes a bigger part of development. Ultimately, you’ll earn your team's trust by making sound decisions, keeping projects moving, and leaving the product better than you found it
