Overview

Responsibilities

• Manage and oversee ongoing software development initiatives and vendor-delivered work
• Track and prioritize bugs, enhancements, feature requests, and development roadmaps
• Work closely with external development partners to ensure quality, timelines, and deliverables are met
• Review technical work and communicate effectively with engineering teams
• Coordinate sprint planning, backlog management, and story tracking
• Translate business needs into actionable technical tasks and priorities
• Help drive continued application improvements and long-term platform scalability
• Monitor development progress and identify risks, blockers, or gaps proactively
• Maintain visibility into architecture, workflows, and system functionality
• Partner with internal stakeholders to prioritize ongoing development opportunities
• Ensure proper documentation, process organization, and development transparency

Qualifications

• Familiarity with:
• TypeScript
• Python
• Redis
• Azure cloud environments
• GitHub workflows
• Experience managing software vendors or outsourced development teams
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies, sprint planning, backlog management, and story tracking
• Ability to understand technical conversations and evaluate engineering work without necessarily being deeply hands-on coding daily
• Excellent communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills
• Experience overseeing production applications and ongoing development cycles
