AI-powered dev workflows – speed up delivery with Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other LLM tools; champion best practices.

Technical leadership – run daily stand-ups, break epics into tickets, review PRs, keep quality high.

Project ownership – partner with Product & BizOps to turn fuzzy ideas into clear requirements, estimates, and release plans.

Mentorship – unblock the front-end and back-end devs, share patterns, and raise the bar on testing and CI/CD.

5+ years experience – You've built and maintained production-grade web applications, ideally in a fast-paced startup or product environment.

Leadership mindset – Either prior experience as a team lead or a strong desire to take on the role. You’re excited to spend ~70% of your time coding and ~30% on leadership responsibilities like standups, planning, and team coordination as well the ability to communicate a vision on a daily basis with fellow engineers to motivate to execute.

Strong communication – Able to bridge the gap between engineering and business. You write clean specs, manage tickets, and speak fluently with both technical and non-technical teammates.
