This role involves leading and mentoring a hybrid team (3-5 members in the US and 4-5 in India), collaborating with a team lead in India for seamless cross-time zone coordination. Day-to-day responsibilities include providing technical leadership and mentorship to ensure high-quality code and best practices, coordinating with the team lead in India to manage workflows, and overseeing the delivery of productivity applications and integrations to meet the needs of internal users and customers. The role also involves partnering with software engineers, a delivery lead, and Business Systems Analysts (BSAs) to execute projects and enhance logistics capabilities, engaging in backend services, third-party integrations (including mobile application creation), software development, and collaborating with delivery teams, product owners, and business users to plan and estimate features for the product roadmap.
