  • Partner with Product Management, QA, and DevOps to define project requirements, provide development estimates, and ensure seamless integration.

  • Plan, execute, and deliver software projects on schedule, managing timelines and shifting priorities.

  • Foster open communication and knowledge sharing within the team and across partner functions.

  • Track industry trends and emerging technologies, and identify opportunities to apply them to improve product development.

  • Clear Communicator: Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to align engineers and cross-functional partners.

  • Adaptable: Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and switches between priorities quickly.

  • Agile Practitioner: Experience with agile software development methodologies and familiarity with related tools and processes.

  • API & Data Skills (Desired): GraphQL query and mutation implementation and optimization; OpenAPI/REST API design and development; SQL and Java experience preferred.

  • Platform & Infrastructure (Desired): NestJS; Docker, Kubernetes, and related CI/CD tools; MQTT and Protocol Buffers.
