- Act as a technical guide for developers; mentor team members on coding standards, troubleshooting, and best practices.
- Lead support engineers and full‑stack developers across global teams.
- Facilitate stand‑ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and cross‑team communication.
- Work closely with stakeholders to gather requirements, shape roadmaps, and prioritize work.
- Identify risks, manage escalations, and drive continuous service improvements.
- Build deep product knowledge and understand business workflows.
- Ensure deliverables meet SLAs and align with business goals.

- Strong skills in:
- Experience with CI/CD (GitLab, Jenkins), code reviews, SDLC, and Agile.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Leadership mindset — mentoring, guiding teams, managing workload, and driving improvements.
- Experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) is a plus.
- Private healthcare, life insurance, and cafeteria benefits
- Training programs and certifications
- Inclusive culture and volunteering opportunities
- Employee referral program
