• Actively contribute full‑stack solutions across the Angular frontend, backend and GCP infrastructure directly impacting our 150,000 monthly active users.
• Foster a culture of end‑to‑end ownership from rapid experimentation to building scalable measurable solutions.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with product management, UX and other engineering squads to align on strategies and technical best practices.
• Leverage AI code generation and continuously develop the processes for yourself and your squad, plus contribute to managing the whole deskbird product & engineering organization through the upcoming changes.

What you need to be successful

• 5 years of experience in full‑stack web application development (Angular preferred).
• Proven experience leading engineers and projects as a tech lead, engineering manager or in a similar role.

• Strong experience in event‑driven distributed architectures.
• Experience working with GCP / Firebase.
• Degree in Computer Science or a related field.
