• Design and deliver Time Doctor’s suite of cloud applications.

• Translate the product managers’ vision into well understood technical tasks that can be efficiently delivered by the team.

• Drive a culture of quality that can scale by ensuring relevant test engineering techniques, for example, unit tests, code reviews, integration testing, and snapshot testing.

• Own the complete cloud team delivery process, ensuring it’s optimized from start to finish and continuously optimizing the process through regular retrospectives and continual improvement.

• Initiate changes in existing processes based on a combination of the experience of you and your team and metrics to improve the efficiency, quality, and delivery rate of your team.

• Minimize the number of open critical and support issues by working with support departments to respond rapidly and manage customer issues.
