This is a hands-on leadership role focused on driving quality, innovation, and alignment with Advantive’s values across our Israel-based engineering team.

Responsibilities:
-
Lead and develop a distributed team of engineers through coaching, feedback, and accountability.
-
Partner closely with Product Management, QA, and Customer Success to deliver high-quality features and performance improvements in our SaaS products.
-
Drive technical strategy, disciplined execution, and continuous improvement across development, testing, and deployment processes.
-
Lead an AI-first engineering culture: every developer is an AI developer - prompting, refining, reviewing, and debugging AI outputs as part of daily work.
-
Drive adoption of approved AI tools across the SDLC (planning, coding, testing, documentation, triage, and release), with clear guardrails for security, privacy, and quality.
-
Ensure system performance and platform stability, particularly for our iPaaS and Android applications.
-
Champion modern software development practices, including Agile/Scrum, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps excellence.
-
Continuously reimagine workflows by asking: "What would this look like if AI did 80% of it?" and implement improvements.
- Lead efforts to resolve product performance and scalability, collaborating with teams across AWS-based environments.
-
Model clear, transparent communication and “extreme ownership” in every initiative — from technical outcomes to team culture.
- Measure outcomes not just by code written, but by value delivered, cycle time reduced, and time reclaimed through AI-enabled ways of working.
-
Actively engage in architectural reviews, code-level design decisions, and technical deep dives to guide teams toward scalable and maintainable solutions.
-
Partner with other Senior Development Managers across Advantive to share best practices, align on architecture standards, and promote consistent engineering excellence across all product lines.

Own delivery commitments, quality metrics, and release cadence to ensure predictable execution and continuous improvement.
