Job Description
Our company is seeking a dedicated professional to lead the R&D process and build comprehensive developer service capabilities. This includes the development and maintenance of code hosting platforms, integration of quality assurance tools, configuration of API development environments, and optimization of middleware systems. The role requires a deep understanding of software development lifecycle management and the ability to design end-to-end toolsets that enhance developer productivity and code quality.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive the continuous improvement of R&D workflows by implementing and refining IDE (Integrated Development Environment) solutions, ensuring they align with modern software development standards and team requirements.
- Conduct in-depth industry analysis and competitive research to identify emerging trends in technology and business development, translating these insights into strategic product direction decisions.
- Lead product iteration planning by analyzing user requirements, designing scalable solutions, and coordinating cross-functional teams for seamless implementation of new features and enhancements.
- Manage product project resources effectively, including timelines, budgets, and personnel, to ensure timely delivery of high-quality solutions that meet business objectives.
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders to promote product adoption across departments, while also developing go-to-market strategies for external commercialization of developed solutions.
- Establish and maintain a robust product feedback loop by systematically analyzing customer input, prioritizing feature requests, and implementing iterative improvements to ensure long-term product relevance and satisfaction.
- Develop and maintain technical documentation, including user guides, API references, and system architecture diagrams, to support both internal development and external client onboarding.
- Monitor and evaluate the performance of existing tools and services, identifying opportunities for optimization and innovation to improve efficiency and reduce technical debt.
- Facilitate knowledge sharing sessions with developers and product teams to ensure alignment on technical standards, best practices, and project goals.
- Collaborate with QA teams to design and implement automated testing frameworks that ensure the reliability and stability of developed solutions.
Job Requirements
- Proven experience in software development lifecycle management, with a strong background in R&D processes and developer toolchain optimization.
- Expertise in at least two of the following areas: code hosting platforms (e.g., GitLab, GitHub), quality assurance tools (e.g., SonarQube, Jira), API development frameworks (e.g., Swagger, Postman), or middleware systems (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
- Strong analytical skills to interpret industry trends, conduct competitive benchmarking, and translate findings into actionable product strategies.
- Excellent project management capabilities, including the ability to coordinate cross-functional teams, manage timelines, and deliver solutions within budget constraints.
- Proficiency in Agile/Scrum methodologies, with experience in managing product backlogs, sprint planning, and iterative development cycles.
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, while also collaborating with developers to ensure technical feasibility of product requirements.
- Strong customer engagement skills, with experience in gathering and analyzing user feedback to inform product roadmap decisions.
- Knowledge of DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines to ensure seamless integration of development and operations processes.
- Excellent problem-solving abilities, with a track record of resolving technical challenges and optimizing system performance.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript) to understand technical implementations and contribute to development tasks when necessary.
- Ability to create and maintain technical documentation, including API specifications, user manuals, and system architecture diagrams.
- Strong collaboration skills to work with product managers, engineers, and business analysts in delivering end-to-end solutions that meet market demands.
- Experience with cloud-based development platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.
- Knowledge of software licensing models and commercialization strategies for developer tools and services is preferred.
- Ability to mentor junior developers and provide technical guidance on best practices for code quality, API design, and middleware integration.
