About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead, manage, and grow two cross-functional teams (typically 2–3 engineers each) through 1:1s, continuous feedback, and structured performance management — including hiring, managing gaps, and career development
Own delivery outcomes across both teams: partner with Product and Design from discovery through rollout, negotiate scope, and course-correct quickly when problems surface
Provide architectural guidance across the full stack, ensuring cross-team technical consistency and that AI-assisted development doesn’t introduce drift or compounding shortcuts
Coach engineers at all levels on AI-native workflows — agentic tooling, prompt engineering, and self-unblocking — and use that knowledge yourself to accurately estimate complexity and set expectations
Track and communicate team-level quality and velocity metrics up and down the management chain, demonstrating measurable improvement over time

Requirements

What you’ll need

Proven experience leading a software engineering team with direct people-management responsibility — including hiring, performance management, and career development
A player-coach mindset: you're comfortable writing code and making architectural decisions, not just managing
Mastery of more than a single mainstream programming languages like JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, C/C++, Java, etc
Demonstrated ability to work in close partnership with Product and Design — shaping roadmap, clarifying requirements, and owning technical feasibility
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, agentic coding) — and the judgment to know when generated code is good and when it isn't
Experience measuring and improving team-level KPIs: defect rate, cycle time, regression rate, and delivery predictability
A bias for speed combined with uncompromising standards on code quality, testing, and architectural hygiene
Self-starter who sees what needs to be done and moves — you don't wait for perfect information
Bonus points for: PHP Laminas or Laravel framework experience, MySQL schema design and query optimization, Angular and Ionic (cross-platform mobile), Front-end testing: Cypress, Jasmine, Karma, AWS infrastructure familiarity, Cursor, Docker, Postman, Experience in field services, logistics, or waste management industries
