- Lead a team working in Rails, Go, Vue and React.

- Hire: define the role, run interviews, close candidates and onboard them.

- Hold weekly 1:1s, give clear feedback, set growth plans and run performance reviews.

- Plan delivery with product: break down the roadmap, commit to realistic dates, and

- flag risks early.

person.
