• Track the team’s development process and be accountable for product delivery, quality, and timelines.

• Set high-quality standards, selecting technical solutions that meet current needs and scale for future requirements.

• Take a leading role in the design and implementation of new components and services.

• Drive the growth and evolution of team members, providing day-to-day mentorship, feedback, and long-term career development.

• Partner with recruiting to hire, interview, and onboard new engineers into this new team.
