Participate in the design of new systems to ensure reliability and scalability.
Manage team performance, create career development pathways, and provide coaching and mentorship.
Provide regular, constructive feedback on individual and team performance.
Stay updated on emerging technologies, tools, and best practices.
Set clear team goals and delegate tasks with defined deadlines.

Experience:

Proven experience building customer and/or sales-facing technology.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience).
Experience applying AI/ML to solve customer challenges is a bonus.
2+ years of team management experience.
Strong organizational and time-management skills.
Excellent decision-making abilities.
Proficient with Linux systems, cloud infrastructure, networking, and databases.
