Job description
These tasks are waiting for you
Take technical ownership of Configuration Experience — the team that builds and manages our insurance products — and set the direction for how the team delivers.
Spend the bulk of your time hands-on: researching technical solutions, writing RFCs, building PoCs with other teams, and shipping the resulting code yourself.
Act as a sparring partner for product managers and stakeholders on key business and technical decisions.
Keep delivery on track — plan realistically, follow agile principles, hit deadlines.
Lead people by example: give feedback, run team meetings, support colleagues' growth. This is a smaller part of the role — most of your time stays technical.
