Work closely with your Product Manager counterpart and the business owner to prioritize product features along with the engineering-driven tasks, striving for a good balance between business results and engineering robustness.
Manage a team towards long-term goals while delivering new capabilities daily
Work with everyone from engineers to product owners to VP-level executives to help communicate, prioritize, influence and inform key product decisions.

Skills and Experience:

You have a BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent.
You bring 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer and 1+ years as a manager of Software Engineers.
You have been successful in hiring, mentoring, and growing engineers.
You have broad working knowledge of full stack web development, RESTful APIs, databases, analytics and operations. The team develops with JavaScript/React, Java, Tomcat, Linux, Snowflake and PostgreSQL, and we’ve recently begun learning and building new components on AWS.
