This is your chance to be part of an ambitious team that values collaboration, technical excellence, and continuous growth!

What You\'ll Do

• Own sprint and achievement planning, ensuring work is accurately sequenced, prioritized, and resourced.
• Assign tasks across the team based on capacity, technical fit, and business priority.
• Proactively surface and remove blockers — whether technical, process-related, or cross-team dependencies — before they become delivery risks.
• Track progress and communicate delivery status clearly to engineering leads and collaborators.
• Hold the team to consistent, predictable execution and flag risks early.
• Stay hands-on in the codebase, contributing to features and systems across our analytics and AI platform alongside the team.
• Conduct detailed, constructive code reviews that raise the quality bar and accelerate team learning.

Contribute to technical build and architecture discussions, helping the team navigate trade-offs and make well-informed decisions.

• Model and uphold engineering standards around code quality, testing coverage, and documentation.
• Coordinate with other engineering teams, customer success managers, and project managers to manage cross-functional dependencies and align on priorities.
• Represent the team\'s capacity and commitments accurately in planning and refinement ceremonies.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, supporting their technical development and day-to-day confidence.

What We\'re Looking For

• 7+ years of professional experience in software development, ideally within data-intensive or analytics-focused products.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating and driving delivery within an agile or sprint-based team environment.
• Hands-on proficiency with Node.js, React, and Python, and experience managing delivery workflows in Jira.
• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, including build pipelines, version control workflows, and release processes.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities and keep multiple workstreams on track without compromising technical quality.
• Comfortable working with limited direction on complex, ambiguous problems and exercising independent judgement to find solutions.
• Strong communication skills — able to present delivery status, risks, and technical context clearly to varied audiences.
• Experience mentoring engineers at earlier career stages and a genuine interest in developing others.
• Collaborative outlook with the ability to influence and gain the cooperation of peers and senior partners.
