In this role, you’ll be a key player in both writing and reviewing production-quality code and leading a talented engineering team. You’ll serve as a technical mentor and coach while ensuring strong execution across product delivery. 

This is more than just a coding role — you’ll align engineering initiatives with the strategic direction of the business, partnering closely with the CEO and CTO to ensure our technical roadmap supports Street Diligence’s vision. You’ll help shape a high-performing engineering culture rooted in collaboration, accountability, and technical excellence. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Foster a strong, growth-oriented engineering culture through mentorship, feedback, and process improvement. 

• Lead the delivery of key software initiatives from architectural decisions through to sprint planning, execution, and release. 

• Collaborate cross-functionally with leadership, product, and design teams to ensure engineering remains deeply connected to company goals. 

WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TABLE 

• Proven experience leading engineering teams in a high-growth SaaS environment. 

• Strong proficiency in writing, reviewing, and delivering production-grade code and experience in mentoring teams to produce high quality code. 

• A track record of aligning technical execution with broader business and product objectives. 

• Deep understanding of modern engineering best practices, system architecture, and software development lifecycle (SDLC). 

• Our current stack includes Python, JavaScript, MariaDB, Redis, Snowflake, SQL, Azure, and Frappe framework — experience with any of these technologies is a strong plus. 

• Ability to coach, mentor, and elevate engineers of varying levels while maintaining high delivery standards. 

• Experience working cross-functionally with product, design, and executive teams to drive outcomes. 

• A balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution — comfortable operating at both the code level and the leadership level. 

• Excellent communication skills and a bias toward collaboration and clarity.
