Lead software development projects from requirements through deployment and post-launch support. Translate business needs into technical plans, coordinate developers and technical teams, manage Agile processes, review architecture and code, track risks and blockers, communicate with stakeholders, and maintain project documentation.

- Create project plans, define timelines, assign responsibilities, and manage priorities across multiple projects.
- Coordinate the work of developers, designers, QA specialists, and other technical team members.
- Review technical solutions and provide informed input on architecture, integrations, database structures, APIs, and development approaches.
- Participate in code reviews and technical discussions when required.
- Monitor development progress, identify blockers, and work with the team to resolve technical and operational issues.

- Ensure projects follow appropriate development, testing, documentation, security, and deployment processes.
- Communicate project progress, risks, dependencies, and decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Maintain accurate project documentation, including requirements, timelines, technical decisions, and status reports.
- Support troubleshooting and incident resolution for existing systems when necessary.
- Continuously improve project management and software development processes.

- Ability to read, understand, review, and discuss code with developers.
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycles, system architecture, databases, APIs, integrations, version control, testing, and deployment.
- Experience managing Agile or Scrum-based development teams.
- Experience using project management tools such as Jira, ClickUp, Monday.com, Asana, or similar platforms.
- Working knowledge of GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or other version-control platforms.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to translate complex technical information for non-technical stakeholders.
