Introduction:

Are you a leader who can turn a team of developers into a well-tuned orchestra, creating beautiful, functional, and innovative software? Do you have the technical expertise to guide complex projects and the leadership skills to inspire a team to reach their full potential? If you're the kind of person who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys solving tough challenges, then our client has a role tailor-made for you. We’re looking for a Head of Development (aka The Code Maestro) to lead our development teams to excellence.

Imagine a position where your decisions shape the future of software at our client. As the Head of Development, you will be the driving force behind the creation of high-quality software products, leading a team of talented developers while ensuring alignment with the company's strategic goals. This role isn’t just about writing code—it’s about creating an environment where innovation and quality go hand in hand.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Development Strategy Architect:
  • Develop and execute a comprehensive development strategy that aligns with the company’s business objectives. You’ll craft the roadmap that guides our development efforts, ensuring that our projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
  • Team Leadership and Development:
    • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of software engineers, fostering a collaborative, innovative, and high-performing environment. You’ll ensure your team is equipped with the skills and resources they need to succeed.
  • Project Management Leader:
    • Oversee the full development lifecycle, from concept to deployment and maintenance. Your project management expertise will ensure that all development activities are well-coordinated, efficient, and aligned with business priorities.
  • Process Improvement Champion:
    • Identify opportunities for process improvements and implement best practices that enhance efficiency, quality, and scalability. You’ll refine workflows, introduce new tools, and ensure that our development practices are top-notch.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:
    • Work closely with other departments, including product management, design, and QA, to ensure successful project delivery. You’ll be the link between development and the rest of the organization, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration.
  • Quality Assurance Advocate:
    • Implement rigorous testing and quality assurance processes to ensure that all software products meet our high standards of quality and reliability. You’ll ensure that what we build not only works but excels.
  • Technology Evangelist:
    • Stay on top of the latest technology trends, tools, and best practices. You’ll bring new ideas and innovations to the team, ensuring that our technology stack remains cutting-edge and efficient.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Technical Mastery: Extensive experience in software development, including deep knowledge of various programming languages, frameworks, and tools. You should be as comfortable diving into code as you are in strategic planning.
  • Leadership Excellence: Proven experience leading and mentoring software development teams, with a track record of delivering high-quality software on time and within budget. You’re the kind of leader who can inspire a team to achieve more than they thought possible.
  • Project Management Expertise: Strong project management skills, particularly in Agile environments. You’re organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Process Optimization: Deep understanding of software development processes and best practices. You’re always looking for ways to streamline workflows and improve the quality of the end product.
  • Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You keep everyone informed and aligned with the overall goals.
  • Humor: A great sense of humor, because we believe in creating a work environment that is both productive and enjoyable. If you can lighten the mood during a tough sprint, you’re a great fit.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent experience with a proven track record in software development leadership is also valued.
  • Certifications in Agile, DevOps, or relevant technologies are a plus. If you’ve contributed to open-source projects or published technical papers, that’s a bonus.

Experience Requirements:

  • 8+ years of experience in software development, with at least 3-5 years in a leadership role such as Engineering Manager, Head of Development, or similar. You’ve successfully led teams that have delivered scalable and reliable software solutions.
  • Proven experience in building and scaling software products in fast-paced environments, particularly in industries such as SaaS, fintech, or healthtech.
  • Experience with both frontend and backend development, as well as cloud computing and microservices architecture.

Benefits

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
  • Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development.
  • Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities.
