- Work closely with other teams across Epic
- Work with the KWS Engineering Director to develop the future structure of KWS teams and be involved in the detailed technical work of both teams
What we're looking for
- Technical experience sufficient to lead the team and help out with hands-on work

- Experience successfully leading small teams
- Ability to balance technical work with the requirements of being a lead
