  • Mentor and grow senior and lead engineers, fostering both technical excellence and leadership skills.
  • Drive operational excellence: sprint execution, cross-team alignment, ticket quality, and delivery predictability.
  • Stay hands-on when needed: review code, unblock technical challenges, and guide architectural decisions.

Here's what we're looking for:

  • Proven background in a scaling startup—you thrive in resource-constrained, fast-moving environments.
  • Deep knowledge of native mobile or web technologies.
  • A track record of building and leading high-performing teams.
  • Pragmatic, delivery-focused, and able to balance speed, quality, and sustainability.
