Strong leadership and team management skills, with the ability to mentor and guide a technical team. - Effective communication skills, both technical and non-technical, with the ability to interact with clients and stakeholders. What You'll Do: - Act as a technical leader across multiple projects, ensuring seamless execution and delivery. - Establish best practices for software development, ensuring high-quality and scalable solutions. - Collaborate with product managers to integrate requirements and align development efforts. - Allocate and manage engineering resources effectively to optimize project success. - Provide technical mentorship to developers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. - Solve complex engineering problems, ensuring high-quality software and data solutions. - Work closely with AI, data, and software development teams to align technical solutions with business goals. - Lead architectural discussions, providing insights into design decisions and trade-offs. - Identify opportunities to improve processes, tools, and methodologies, driving efficiency and innovation within the engineering team. If you're passionate about leading engineering teams and driving high-quality solutions, we'd love to hear from you!
