Mentor engineers and provide constructive design and code reviews
Create clear architecture documentation, operational guidance, and technical proposals
Remain hands-on in implementation, troubleshooting, and operational support

Who You Are:

You combine strong technical judgment with a practical and collaborative approach. You can navigate ambiguity, identify the most important problems, and guide solutions without introducing unnecessary complexity. You communicate decisions clearly, build alignment across organizational boundaries, and help other engineers grow. You take responsibility for both technical outcomes and the long-term maintainability of systems.

For This Role, You Will Need:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
