• Lead medium-scale projects from definition through completion using appropriate project management methods and tools.

• Manage project risks and change controls while ensuring alignment with governance frameworks and business priorities.

• Communicate with cross-functional stakeholders and monitor delivery against agreed quality standards, budgets, timelines, and performance measures.

To be successful in this role, you should have:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or an equivalent field.

• 7+ years of relevant software engineering experience, including experience as a Senior Software Engineer.

• 1+ years of formal people management experience with direct reports.

• Proven full-stack experience delivering user-facing web applications, with hands-on expertise in frontend and backend development and a preference for Python and/or React.

• Strong understanding of cloud architecture and best practices for building scalable, reliable applications.

• Experience with relational and non-relational databases, such as PostgreSQL and MongoDB.

• Proven ability to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks in complex applications and to maintain high standards through code reviews.

• Strong communication and stakeholder-influencing skills, with experience working in Agile/Scrum environments and with CI/CD pipelines.
