In this role, as a Software Development Manager and a tech leader, you will manage a team of talented Software Engineers who are working on executing the A to Z vision. You will regularly interact with the product team as well as other tech teams as you design and deliver state of the art technologies to evolve our product.

As a multi-discipline leader, the buck will stop with you for your team.
To accomplish this, you will be expected to have an established background in technology, excellent project and people management skills, great communication skills, and a motivation to achieve results in a fast paced environment.
