Job Description
Software Development Lead, C++
Redbrick
• Manage and coach a team of Software Developers, fostering talent growth, skill development, and career advancement. • Work as part of the technical leadership group to help shape the roadmap and make sure the team understands the direction, priorities, and tradeoffs. • Maintain a team culture where people share context, review each other’s work seriously, mentor one another, and take pride in the quality of what they ship. • Contribute directly to software development, including design, implementation, debugging, code review, and technical decision-making. • Set a high bar for engineering practices across development, delivery, security, testing, documentation, and operations. • Keep projects moving by clarifying scope, breaking down work, managing dependencies, and raising risks. • Partner with product, QA, design, support, and other development teams to coordinate work and make sure technical plans connect to real user and business needs. • Troubleshoot complex issues, including production problems, with occasional support outside regular working hours when the situation calls for it (which is rare). • Stay current with relevant technologies and industry changes, especially where they can improve the product, the codebase, or the way the team works. • Encourage thoughtful use of AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity, code quality, documentation, and the overall developer experience. • Take on other technical leadership responsibilities as the team and business evolve. • After 1 week: You’ve been introduced to all of the Shift development teams. • After 1 month: You will know our product and major initiatives. • After 6 months: You will feel confident in your role and will be making meaningful contributions.

- Experience working in large, complex codebases where good judgment, patience, and attention to detail matter.
