- Partner with engineers to scope, prioritize, and deliver technical initiatives.
- Facilitate communication between business teams and developers — ensuring clarity, alignment, and shared understanding.
- Track project execution, identify roadblocks, and drive resolutions.
- Ensure delivery quality and consistency across teams.
- Support continuous improvement in processes, delivery practices, and documentation.
What You Bring
- Prior hands-on experience as a backend engineer or solution architect (light coding contribution when needed).
- Experience contributing to or guiding architecture/design decisions in production environments, including evaluating trade-offs in performance, complexity, and cost.
- Ability to translate business concepts into practical system designs and implementation steps.
- Strong problem-solving skills with a structured, systems-thinking mindset.
- Excellent communication skills; comfortable interacting with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven ability to scope and lead small technical initiatives (3–5 people).
- Familiarity with cloud platforms, APIs, integrations, and modern backend technologies.
