  • Prioritize, plan, and balance speed, quality, and risk using OKRs and clear metrics.
  • Ship metrics-driven projects that apply DDD, Team Topologies, and agile best practices to deliver measurable customer impact.
  • Drive operational excellence by boosting reliability, scalability, security, and cost-efficiency while aggressively reducing tech debt.
  • Research new technologies, champion best practices, and cultivate a learning-first, innovation-focused culture.
  • Expected Qualifications

  • BSc in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 2+ years leading engineering teams in fast-paced, customer-focused settings.
  • Proven ability to drive delivery, empower teams, and set clear priorities.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills across diverse stakeholders.
  • Strong understanding of modern architecture, design principles, and technical trade-offs, with hands-on coding experience as part of your core skill set.
  • Business-savvy; comfortable using data to guide decisions and demonstrate value.
  • Familiarity with concepts like DDD, Team Topologies, OKRs, and agile methodologies.
  • Proactive, thrives in ambiguity, removes roadblocks, and inspires high performance.
