Job Description
Our client is looking to hire an experienced Development Manager to join their international team. Forming part of our technology leadership team, you will be responsible for all development activities on our flagship product. Your mission is to give developers and QA engineers the support they need to perform to their best – while also providing your peers in product management with a partner they can trust to help propel the product forward. You will drive technical approaches and decisions, best engineering practices, and provide relentless improvement to deliver better and faster, to ultimately delight our end users. From initial scoping to final deployment, you will be there to provide oversight. You can, and should, delegate to the development leads reporting to you, but be ready to verify that things are being done properly and jump in if they are not. In short, you will get stuff done!
