• Support the development and training of direct reports through coaching and regular performance evaluations.
• Participate in interviewing and drive hiring and team growth.
• Be an awesome person to work with, somebody who sincerely cares.

What You Bring :

• Experience leading teams of Software Engineers.

• Experience with GitHub, project management.
• Excellent communication skills and practices with the ability to drive technical conversations to a conclusion.
