Key Responsibilities:

• Provide strategic technical leadership for the Data Self-Service Platform (React/Python/Snowflake).
• Manage, mentor, and foster the professional growth of a team of software engineers.
• Coordinate project planning, resource allocation, and delivery timelines.
• Serve as a bridge between engineering, product, and business stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with Claude AI, AI-enhanced development environments, or modular automation tools like MCPs.
• Familiarity with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code.
• Exposure to CQRS, Domain-Driven Design, and MediatR.
• Knowledge of structured logging, retry policies, and health check integrations.
• Understanding of security concepts like JWT, Okta, and policy-based auth.
