As a key member of our engineering leadership team, you will be instrumental in shaping our software development strategy, driving technical excellence, and fostering a collaborative and engaging work environment. This role offers an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact on our product roadmap and contribute to the future of connectivity.
What You’ll Do

  • Oversee complete software development lifecycle from conception to deployment, ensuring high-quality, scalable solutions that meet business objectives
  • Collaborate with product management, architects, and stakeholders to define technical requirements and translate them into actionable development plans
  • Oversee and manage third-party vendor providing scrum team resources, ensuring seamless integration and monitoring performance against KPIs
  • Champion continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), and automated testing while identifying and mitigating technical risks
  • Stay current with emerging telecommunications technologies (5G, SDN, NFV, IoT) and industry trends to inform technical strategy
  • Foster cross-functional collaboration and communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels, providing regular project updates and representing the team in technical decisions

  • Solid understanding of database technologies (SQL and NoSQL).
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization technologies.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and motivate a team in an agile development environment.

Great-to-haves

  • Strong domain expertise within the telecommunications industry is highly desired, including experience with:

    • Telecom BSS/OSS systems
    • Cloud-native architectures for telecom (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenStack)
