- Stakeholder Alignment: Partner closely with Product and Design to balance rapid feature delivery with long-term technical quality.
What You Need
- Leadership: Proven experience managing, leading, or coaching software engineering teams in a product-led environment.
- Android Expertise: 5+ years of hands-on Android development experience using Kotlin and modern architecture (Compose, modularisation).
- Mobile DevOps: Strong grasp of mobile testing, CI/CD, release management, and feature flags.
- Communication: Ability to clearly translate technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
