• Manage the daily activities of iOS and Android Engineers delivering critical features and enhancements for Compass’s product and business growth.
• Provide leadership and direction to complete team tasks, resolve issues, and meet project milestones. The Company's success is your success.
• Develop and implement efficient team operation processes across Agile, Release Management, Production Support, and Software Development Life Cycle.
• Define a clear vision for the short- and long-term technical roadmap, ensuring alignment with business and team goals.
• Collaborate with Product and other external partners in Yearly and Quarterly planning exercises to define the roadmap of your team, in a way that maximizes impact on the business.
