Lead two senior application engineering teams (Web/Mobile and Data Integration) with a primary focus on people leadership, team performance, and relationship building
This role is responsible for coaching and developing experienced engineers, partnering closely with business and executive stakeholders, and ensuring effective planning, prioritization, and delivery across roadmaps—while leveraging a solid understanding of modern web, mobile, API, and cloud-based technologies to guide technical direction (without being hands-on keyboard)

Own capacity planning and workload management across the Web/Mobile and Data Integration teams, ensuring work is prioritized effectively, tracked accurately, and delivered with quality and predictability
Select and develop a technical lead for the Data Integration team and build a strong working relationship with the existing Web/Mobile technical lead to ensure consistent standards, practices, and outcomes across both teams
Drive continuous improvement in team culture, communication, and ways of working, including how the teams use tools, track time, report progress, and collaborate in a hybrid environment across St. Louis Park and St. Cloud
