Job Title: Technical Coordinator
About the Technical Coordinator Position:
As Technical Coordinator, you will be responsible for helping
Andela’s Software Engineers successfully engage remote clients.
Distributed work environments are growing in popularity but the lack of
physical proximity still brings unique operational challenges. As our
engineers partner with teams spread around the world, across industries
and across technology stacks, your role will be to help make the client
and the remote team feel much closer.
No two days will ever be alike and variety will be the only constant.
In the morning, you might find yourself helping engineers better
understand the business value of their California team’s user stories;
in the afternoon, you might virtually travel across the Atlantic in
order to support another team of engineers as they strategically plan a
data migration for their team in London.
With your knowledge of business, technology, remote communication and
agile project management, you will help make the distance between our
engineers and their teams---thousands of kilometers in most cases---feel
like a logistical afterthought.
