• Represent the consultancy’s capabilities in client-facing conversations, earning trust through clarity and credibility.
• Build lasting relationships with client teams, serving as both a technical advisor and delivery partner.

Designing & Delivering Solutions

• Translate customer needs into working prototypes to test ideas and gather feedback quickly.
• Make thoughtful engineering decisions that balance speed of iteration with technical soundness.
• Architect systems that grow from experimental builds to production-ready applications.
• Work across all phases of delivery—Discovery, Alpha, Beta, and Live—ensuring smooth transitions and high-quality outcomes.

Leading Technical Teams

• Guide engineering teams through structured development cycles with a focus on quality and clarity.
• Mentor less experienced engineers by sharing best practices, reviewing code, and fostering technical growth.
• Partner closely with product managers, designers, and other collaborators to create cohesive solutions.
• Uphold high standards for code quality, architecture, and development practices.

Growing as a Technologist

• Able to make sound architectural decisions and explain trade-offs to others.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and breaking down complex problems.

Consulting & Communication Skills

• Experience engaging with customers or stakeholders in a technical setting.
• Confident leading collaborative sessions, from discovery to solution design.
• Clear communicator, capable of translating between technical and non-technical audiences.
• Professional presence in customer meetings and workshops.
• Demonstrated ability to pick up new tools and technologies quickly.
• Familiarity with generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor).
• Strong interest in AI’s practical applications and a desire to develop deeper expertise.
• Growth mindset—you seek feedback, adapt fast, and stay curious.
• Prior team leadership experience or clear readiness to take on that responsibility.
• Enjoy mentoring and helping others grow.
