If you:

• Champion product ownership and spread leadership throughout the team.
• Ruthlessly identify process weakness and build and use metrics to drive improvement.
• Take a lead role in recruiting and hiring Software Developers.
• Familiarity with the enterprise Java technology stack. While we are not dogmatic about what technologies we use, this is the one we are using right now.
• Help lead the team to balance commercial viability, scalability, security, and technical innovation to evolve the Shareworks platform.
