Technical leadership & delivery (Tech Lead)

• Technically lead the engineering team, being responsible for delivering the project with quality and on schedule.

• Translate the architecture into an execution plan, breaking work into incremental deliverables and prioritizing the technical backlog together with Product/PM.

• Define and uphold quality standards: code review, testing, CI/CD, observability, and engineering best practices.

•  Mentor developers, support the team's technical growth, and act as an escalation point for complex challenges.

• Remove technical impediments, coordinate dependencies, and communicate status, risks, and trade-offs to leadership and stakeholders.
