Project Managers should have experience in managing projects for software engineering teams, a strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, and experience leading development teams in a project management role. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science or equivalent work experience is preferred, but we care more for a heart and mind that are always learning. 3 to 5 years’ experience in Project Management for software development teams preferred.
