  • Collaboration & Process Optimization: Partner with delivery and development teams to streamline task allocation, refine requirements, and enhance project planning accuracy.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience in Leadership: 2+ years in a comparable management role with a track record of motivating and maximizing team performance.
  • Technical Expertise: 8+ years in software development, including frontend platforms (e.g., Android, iOS, Roku, connected TV).
  • Hands-On with Code: Strong knowledge in code review and release management best practices.
  • Problem-Solver: Analytical, detail-oriented, and solution-driven with a “can-do” attitude.
  • Strong Communicator: Excellent verbal and written skills in English, with proficiency in documentation tools like Confluence.

Bonus Points:

  • Knowledge of video streaming and the media sector.
