What we're looking for

• 5+ years of software development experience

• Demonstrated experience in people management

• Strong knowledge of robust and scalable architectural patterns

• Excellent communication skills

• Experience working on large-scale projects in fast-paced environments

• Proactive approach to identifying and solving problems
