• Working closely with the Product Manager to translate product goals into technical plans, milestones, and deliverables, guiding the team through Agile delivery cycles including sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Making key architectural decisions to ensure scalability, performance, and maintainability, while continuously improving development processes and infrastructure.
• Establishing and upholding engineering best practices across code quality, testing, documentation, and security, including conducting code reviews and mentoring developers.
• Collaborating with UX / UI designers to ensure technical feasibility and an excellent user experience.

Key Requirements

• Degree educated, with a strong background in software engineering and proven experience delivering end-to-end software products.
• Proven ability to lead or mentor development teams within an Agile environment.
• Advanced Python development skills, ideally with FastAPI or similar frameworks, and a strong understanding of relational databases, schema design, and SQL.
• Experience designing scalable systems and working with cloud infrastructure and CI / CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with front-end development (TypeScript, React) is highly desirable.
• Excellent communication skills, able to collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, with a product-oriented mindset and a genuine care for usability and user outcomes.
• Experience in cyber security, data-driven applications, or SaaS platforms is advantageous.
