- Mentor engineers on the team and help them to grow and achieve their career goals
- Recruit, hire, and maintain an excellent team
- Help identify pain points and build work flows to remove blockers for the engineering team
What You’ll Bring
- 10+ years of overall software engineering experience with 3+ years of experience in managing and optimizing small to mid size software teams
- Strong record of delivery on product outcomes
- Strong record of building and delivering web applications
- Expertise in a modern web framework (Django, Flask, Express, etc.)
- Expertise in a modern SPA framework (React, Angular, Vue, etc.)
- Expertise in modern infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, CircleCI, etc.)
