• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
• 8+ years of product development experience with strong track record of technical leadership
• Deep experience in architecting complex, distributed systems with large-scale data performance challenges.
• Proven success in consistently delivering high-quality output and elevating the performance and quality standards of the broader team.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills to gather alignment among diverse stakeholders and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• Preferred experience:
• Angular TypeScript
• Java Spring Boot
