With a focus on technical mentorship, strategic roadmap alignment, and cross-functional collaboration, you will champion a sustainable engineering culture and have the ability and interest to spend much of your time hands-on keys. You'll be responsible for leading our team in adopting emerging technologies when appropriate, foster innovation, and provide recommendations when to purchase SaaS solutions or build proprietary solutions. As part of a small team, you're eager to be a player coach. You'll set the direction and core competencies of the engineering team while contributing to the code base when needed.
