Technical Leadership

• Providing architectural guidance and mentoring to team members. You will set and guide the technical direction for the system architecture, ensuring alignment with strategic project objectives.
• Writing and reviewing code and technical documentation.
• Leading code peer reviews and encouraging team best practices.
• As a people leader, develop and grow a high‑performing team through coaching, mentoring and setting a clear direction by connecting the work they do, enhancing team capabilities and fostering knowledge sharing.
