You’ll manage a team of back-end developers, DevOps/MLOps while closely collaborating with clients, data developers, and data scientists to build a platform capable of making relevant and reliable recommendations. You’ll play an essential role in developing our end-to-end machine learning platform and core infrastructure, from research to production ML pipelines.

What you’ll do

• Lead, coach, and mentor a team of developers of all experience levels + develop the team’s overall capabilities.
  
• Guide the day-to-day execution and delivery of tasks + lead the project team with Agile methodologies.
  
• Be responsible for people management as well as cultivating talent, growth, planning, and the delivery of work.
  
• Support the team in simplifying and clarifying information + facilitate cross-team collaboration.
  
• Collaborate with product managers, other leads, and team members to develop a product development strategy and define the feature roadmap for the ML platform.
  
• Be involved in tech discussions and occasionally dive into code.
  
• Participate in recruitment to help grow the team.
  
• Encourage and build a healthy and inclusive culture (this is extremely important to us).

• Around 5 years of experience in software engineering (or other relevant experience)
• Experience managing a team of developers, including performance management and/or hands-on technical leadership
• Proficiency with software development practices for triage, prioritization, and execution
• A technical background that allows you to navigate technical subjects and discuss architecture and product decisions
• Comfort in having performance-related conversations (you recognize the link between objective feedback and career growth)
• A degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering (or related training)
• The ability to balance short-term priorities with long-term goals & to remain calm when facing obstacles (you know a solution is always at hand)
