- Conduct code reviews for all product development work
- Enforce coding standards and ensure code quality before anything ships
- Contribute to technical architecture decisions in collaboration with the Head of Product and Technical Architect
- Own quality standards for the engineering team: define what 'done' means, establish testing expectations, set release criteria, and drive continuous improvement in defect rates
- Maintain a healthy balance between feature delivery and technical debt reduction
- Own secure coding standards, code analysis tooling (SAST), and timely remediation of vulnerability findings, including penetration test results, SOC 2 controls, and security review outcomes
- Manage, coach, and develop a team of 4 product developers
- Set clear expectations, provide regular feedback, and build a high-performing team
- Conduct regular 1:1s and own career development planning, performance reviews, and compensation conversations for direct reports

- Establish baselines, set targets, and continuously improve delivery performance over time
- Identify and remove blockers daily
- Manage capacity planning and resource allocation across active projects
- Drive urgency around work that directly supports ARR; new product delivery, features that unblock pipeline, and functionality that accelerates client go-lives
- Build and maintain technical implementation frameworks, configuration templates, runbooks, and guardrails that PS can follow to deliver client implementations independently and at quality
- Provide architecture guidance and technical problem-solving support to PS developers
- Collaborate with PS leadership to define and maintain product capability boundaries; what is supported natively, what is configurable, and what is out of scope
- Actively evaluate and implement AI tools to accelerate engineering workflows: code generation, automated testing, documentation, code review, and deployment automation
- Identify and pilot AI-driven improvements to the client implementation process in partnership with PS leadership

- 3+ years of delivery management experience running disciplined agile/scrum processes with defined commitments, tracked metrics, and accountability for shipping on time
- Demonstrated track record of getting productive quickly in mature, complex codebases — not just greenfield projects
- Experience with AI-assisted development tools and a demonstrated interest in applying AI to engineering workflows
- Deep proficiency in Salesforce development: Apex, LWC, Visualforce, Flows, and platform architecture patterns
- Experience with source control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and Salesforce DX or similar deployment tooling
- Familiarity with project management and delivery tracking tools (Linear, Jira, or equivalent)

- Must display all Northteq core values
- Experience in equipment finance, leasing, or commercial lending
