Lead and guide a team of 7 developers (3 U.S., 4 India).

Assign work, manage delivery, and support daily development activities.

Partner closely with QA and Product for requirements, design, and execution.

Requirements

5+ years of software development experience (senior level).

1-2+ years leading projects or managing developers.
