  • Spend around 30% of your time coding and delivering key projects, setting high technical standards for your team.
  • Mentor and upskill engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and technical guidance.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to define priorities, break down projects into manageable deliverables, and ensure alignment with business goals.
  • Champion Agile processes, driving efficiency, and a strong delivery focus within your team.
  • Implement modern engineering principles like microservices, event-driven systems, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
  • Take ownership of incident management to ensure minimal downtime and fast recovery for critical systems.
  • Promote a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and technical innovation.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience leading engineering teams while balancing hands-on coding and leadership.
  • Strong background in building and managing DevOps environments.
  • Expertise in tools like Docker, Terraform, and GitHub workflows for CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience working with event-driven architectures, NoSQL/SQL databases, and caching tools like Redis.
  • Solid understanding of REST APIs and microservices architecture.
  • A delivery-driven mindset with excellent problem-solving and stakeholder management skills.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies and a strong grasp of team dynamics.

Desirable Skills:

  • Knowledge of MACH and Composable Commerce architectures.
  • Hands-on experience with React, Next.js, GraphQL, TypeScript, Node.js, and C#.
  • Exposure to tools such as Amplience, commercetools, and Algolia.
  • Experience supporting and maintaining cloud-hosted systems
