  • Encourage innovation, including the use of AI and automation to improve engineering effectiveness.

  • Experience developing or integrating UI components, with exposure to modern front-end frameworks or libraries such asStencil UI or similar web component-based technologies.
  • Ability to collaborate across front-end and back-end layers to deliver cohesive, high-quality user experiences.
  • Proven success managing engineering teams (onshore and offshore) and delivering complex software products.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), microservices, and modern development practices.
  • Strong communication, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience with data-centric applications and a passion for driving business impact through technology.
What Sets You Apart
