Role summary:

As the Software Development Manager, you will drive the technical strategy and development of high-impact, scalable AI solutions, leading software engineering teams through the full software lifecycle – from architecture to deployment.

We are looking for an experienced leader with proven ability to mentor engineers, manage project timelines, and deliver high-quality code that aligns with business goals.

You combine strategic thinking, strong problem-solving skills, and a collaborative approach to ensure team success and optimal software performance.
