Work through technical and delivery trade-offs with Product and engineering stakeholders to balance quality, scope, timelines and evolving priorities.

Requirements

At least five years of software development experience, with a minimum of one year managing engineers in a product or technology setting.
Strong technical knowledge of modern architecture including microservices, event-driven systems, CQRS and event sourcing.
Demonstrated experience with Agile delivery, CI/CD pipelines, Git-based code review practices and cloud development on AWS or Azure.
Active hands-on experience using AI coding tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot or Claude Code as part of regular engineering work.
Proficiency with .NET and/or React with TypeScript, combined with understanding of privacy and information security practices.
Genuine enthusiasm for people leadership, coaching and continuous learning, with the technical confidence to empower your team while staying involved in the work.
