• Drive operational excellence by ensuring system reliability, monitoring, and incident management.
• Partner with product managers to define roadmaps, prioritize work, and align with business goals.
• Communicate risks, dependencies, and progress to stakeholders across the organization.
• Advocate for user-centric development by balancing technical feasibility with customer needs.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on engineering experience across the full software development lifecycle (design, development, testing, and production)
• Drive best practices in software development, CI/CD, DevOps, and system architecture.
• Ensure timely and efficient software delivery while maintaining technical excellence.
• Identify and mitigate risks early in the development lifecycle.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, system design, and cloud-based applications.

• Proven ability to grow engineers through coaching, goal setting, and performance reviews.
• Strong project and program management skills, with experience in Agile/Scrum methodologies.
• Ability to work with product manager and translate business objectives into engineering priorities.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills to align teams across functions.
• Bachelor's degree on the related field
  
  Nice to have:
