Who you are

• A track record of success in being an established software engineer, as well as time spent in a leadership position, guiding a team in the delivery of quality software

• Effective written and oral communication. Being transparent with your team and establishing an open dialogue will be a key to success in supporting your coaching conversations and discussions
• To be a leader and mentor. You’ll bring your shared experience into conversations to influence and provide constructive feedback to direct reports throughout the journey to ensure goals are being met and exceeded
• Familiarity or comfort in AI tools and AI augmented development rhythms
• Previous experience with our development stack: ReactJS, Typescript, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL
• Previous experience with building zero to one projects from initial discovery and design, through implementation, and into delivery and measurement
