• Lead and mentor: supervise and lead a team of software engineers, providing continuous feedback, mentorship, and career development support. You will also be actively involved in hiring and onboarding new talent.
• Manage product execution: take ownership of the roadmap, integrations, and feature execution for the three platforms. You will manage all aspects of product delivery, including project planning, sprint grooming, and using agile/lean principles to ensure quality and timely releases.

• Champion engineering excellence: drive a culture of quality and best practices within the team by applying Agile/Lean principles and methodologies. This includes building and implementing key processes like CI/CD for both backend and frontend systems, establishing robust development and staging environments, and migrating our infrastructure from Microsoft Azure to AWS.
• Problem-solve and innovate: balance short-term needs with long-term strategic goals. You will be responsible for managing project risks, evaluating new business initiatives, and pragmatically facilitating technical decisions with your team.
