If you love leading talented engineers, solving hard problems before they become problems, and delivering high-quality software that matters, this is your team.

Where you come in:

• You lead and mentor a small team of developers, providing guidance, code reviews, and support to ensure the team delivers high-quality, well-documented code that meets established standards.
• You design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable software applications using Python or JavaScript, with a strong focus on event-driven architectures.
• You champion coding standards, best practices, and deployment processes, driving initiatives that improve code quality, security posture, and overall development efficiency.
• You design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ensure efficient and reliable software releases.
• You contribute to the design and implementation of cloud-based solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Amazon Web Services (AWS).
• You collaborate closely with Marketing and other non-IT business partners, translating their needs into technical requirements and communicating technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• You partner with vendors to optimize platform utilization and advocate assertively for the services and outcomes Dexcom needs.
• You collaborate with and help manage teams in overseas locations, and you anticipate potential problems, proactively implementing solutions before issues arise.

What makes you successful:

• You bring 7+ years of software development experience, including at least 3 years leading small development teams.
• You have strong proficiency in either Python or JavaScript-experience with both is highly desirable.
• Your background includes hands-on experience with event-driven architectures.
• You have proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines on cloud platforms (GCP or AWS).
• You have experience working with and managing overseas teams, and collaborating with Marketing and other non-IT business partners.
• You bring excellent communication, interpersonal, and collaboration skills, along with strong problem-solving abilities and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues.
• You are proficient working within a JIRA-centric workflow and comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
• Nice to have: Experience with specific GCP or AWS services (e.g., serverless functions), frameworks relevant to your language (e.g., React, Node.js, Django, Flask), and security best practices and tools.
