[Job Description]

Key Responsibilities

- Ensure product quality, scalability and maintainability by working with technical leads/engineers to define architecture, development standards and best practices.

- Demonstrate deep understanding of cloud platforms, specifically AWS (Amazon Web Services): including core services, architecture design, scalability, cost-optimization, security and best practices in a cloud environment.

Requirements

Required Experience & Qualifications

- Proven experience in leading software product development efforts (i.e., having led a software product from development to launch)

- Experience using development management tools such as Jira, Slack, DevOps or equivalent.

- Minimum 5-10 years of software development experience, including at least 1 year in a development management role (managing people, processes or both).

- Experience managing a team of 5-10 members, including mentoring, performance reviews and fostering collaboration.

- Solid experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban), with demonstrated ability to manage sprints, backlog prioritization and agile rituals.

- Experience working in a multi-culture and multi-national environment (e.g., distributed teams, cross-border communication, diverse cultural contexts).

- Strong understanding of AWS cloud platform: experience with core AWS services (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS, IAM/VPC), cloud architecture design, cost and performance optimization, security best practices, and ideally hands-on operational experience.

Preferred Qualifications

- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field.

- Prior experience in a startup or fast-paced tech company environment.

- Strong technical background (understanding of software architecture, DevOps, CI/CD pipelines).

- Excellent communication, stakeholder management and collaboration skills across geographies and functions.

What You’ll Bring to the Team

- A customer-first mindset and the ability to translate user needs into product features and roadmaps.

- Leadership that fosters autonomy, accountability and continuous improvement in your team.

- Comfort operating at both strategic (product vision) and tactical (sprint execution) levels.

- Adaptability to work in a dynamic, multi-cultural environment and to lead change.

- Strong sense of ownership: you deliver results, you iterate, you improve.
