And, what will I bring?
Your primary responsibility will be to lead small development teams to deliver functioning, validated code leaning on your breadth and depth of domain expertise. You will lend depth and perspective through your increased focus on a specific technology.
Collaboration is crucial as you must be able to provide clear direction to your team while incorporating their feedback in order to align with the overall technical direction of the product team. Humble expertise will serve you well as you listen and observe the needs of your client in order to best apply your understanding.
Curiosity will drive you to understand why your team's check-in broke the build as well as to lend a hand in maintaining the pipeline or test suite. A desire to learn and grow will always be fed by those around you as you continue to expand your technical acumen across technologies and platforms.
You take pride in your work and take time to appreciate the contributions by your team to the software that you are building.
- Front-end modern web platforms using Angular.
