Must-Have Qualifications:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 4+ years in engineering management.
- Proven ability to guide and review software architecture, ensuring scalable, secure, and high-performance systems while leading and managing modern development practices across engineering teams.
- Proven ability to manage and scale teams in dynamic, fast-paced environments, particularly at startups or high-growth companies.
- Proficiency in at least one OOP language (Python/JavaScript/TypeScript/Java) and experience with backend frameworks (e.g., Django, FastAPI, Express).
- Experience delivering enterprise-grade software solutions that solve real-world problems for customers.
- Experience with unit and integration testing strategies, and familiarity with test automation practices and tools.
- Knowledge of relational database concepts and scalable data architecture.
- Ability to write or oversee the creation of clear and concise technical specifications derived from high-level business and product goals.
- Comfort operating in a startup or high-growth environment where priorities can shift.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications:
- Experience with SaaS business models, multi-tenant architectures, or cloud-based solutions.
- Familiarity with enterprise automation technologies or document processing systems is a plus but not required.
- Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and DevOps practices (CI/CD pipelines, containerization).
- Knowledge of software security best practices, including data access, application security, and IAM.
- Experience working in or adjacent to industries like BPO, financial services, or enterprise automation fields.
