  • Promote engineering practices that support software quality, reliability, scalability, security, maintainability, and operational readiness.
  • Encourage knowledge sharing, constructive reviews, and continuous improvement across the team.
  • Contribute to recruitment, onboarding, workforce planning, and retention activities.

Requirements

  • At least 2–3 years of experience leading a software engineering team, including performance management, objective setting, feedback, coaching, and career development.
  • Strong planning and organizational skills, with experience managing team capacity, priorities, dependencies, delivery risks, and stakeholder expectations.
  • Ability to build a collaborative and accountable team environment focused on professional development and continuous improvement.
  • Strong software engineering background, with experience developing full-stack applications using technologies such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Node.js, React, Vue, Django, Angular, or Flask.
  • Ability to understand software architecture, system design, technical dependencies, implementation trade-offs, and delivery risks.
  • Experience coordinating complex software engineering deliverables using Agile or Scrum practices.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain technical topics, align priorities, and negotiate delivery expectations in English.

Would be a plus

  • Experience with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and test automation.
  • Knowledge of web application performance, scalability, and security.
  • Experience with configuration management, build systems, debuggers, emulators, and simulators.
  • Familiarity with agentic AI patterns, including tool-using agents, function calling, and multi-step workflows.
