  • Proven experience leading software development teams, including coaching, accountability, and building a healthy culture
  • Solid background in application development and delivering enhancements in a structured SDLC environment
  • Experience working with production systems (support, reliability, incident response, and prioritizing critical work)
  • Strong communication skills—able to provide accurate, timely status, raise risks early, and drive alignment
Benefits
  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience, qualifications and location
  • Bonus Opportunity (based on Company and Individual Performance)
