  • Strategic Planning: Collaborate with the Tech Team to create and implement a strategic roadmap for the 65square platform.
  • Team Collaboration: Meet regularly with other DEFEND and 65square team members on a weekly basis to brainstorm and coordinate efforts.
  • Supervision (if applicable): Oversee junior developers, providing guidance and support to ensure project consistency and quality.
