• Coach and mentor engineers through feedback, pairing sessions, and design reviews, fostering high standards and psychological safety.
• Communicate status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly across time zones; escalate proactively with recommendations.

• Demonstrated experience delivering modern web and/or cloud-native systems (services, APIs, UI).
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), containerization (Docker), and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, or similar).
• Proven ability to execute independently within an existing architecture and standards while coordinating effectively with onshore partners.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to turn ambiguity into an executable plan and operate effectively across time zones.
• Experience across both frontend and backend stacks (e.g., React/TypeScript plus Go/C#,.Net/Java).
• Nice to Have
