  • Understand completion criteria and push work to completion
  • Coaching, mentoring and providing feedback to more junior members of the team, while always developing yourself
  • Connect to many data sources and provide insightful visualisations
  • Database design and architecture for connected systems

As a lead for strong engineers, technical leadership and a solid background in web development is a must, so that you're able to challenge and grow your team members.
