Continuously update the roadmap based on strategic directions from board meetings.

2. Strategic Planning and Execution

  • Backend Strategy Implementation: Translate high-level strategies into backend tasks, ensuring clarity on how each piece fits into the company's larger goals.
  • Sprint and Task Management: Lead the backend sprint planning process, break down tasks into manageable components, and ensure accurate estimations for efficient execution.

3. Team Leadership and Development

  • Mentoring and Growth: Lead backend developers, nurturing their growth while ensuring a culture of responsibility and continuous improvement.

  • Automation and Efficiency: Implement backend automation practices, from CI/CD pipelines to other efficiency-boosting tools that improve the backend workflow.

6. Research and Communication

  • Technology Exploration: Stay ahead of backend trends and technologies, providing research and recommendations to stakeholders. Break down complex backend issues into understandable, actionable points.

7. Workplace Expectations

  • Ownership Mentality: Embody a strong sense of ownership over the backend systems, with a proactive attitude that eliminates the need for close follow-up.
  • On-site Work: Work from the office is required to foster close collaboration with the team.
