Represent the team in technical syncs and communicate progress, risks, and needs.

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of experience in software development (Python/JavaScript stack preferred).

1+ year of experience in a technical leadership role (formal or informal).

Strong understanding of agile development practices and team workflows.

Solid experience with Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and working with QA and DevOps.
