• Manage a collection of internal business applications, ensuring consistent stability, performance, and scalability.

• Supervise the complete Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which includes design, planning, implementation, deployment, and support.

• Collaborate with Product Management to gather requirements, define scope, prioritize resources, and deliver effective, scalable software solutions.

• Coordinate priorities and development timelines across various initiatives and applications.

• Contribute to high-level system architecture and application design, ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical best practices.

⛳️ Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Over 9 years of hands-on software development experience, encompassing back-end services, APIs, and databases.

• Experience in a leadership capacity as an engineering team lead and/or managing software teams, including 1–2 years of direct people management.

• Strong problem-solving abilities: an architect mindset that thinks beyond code to design systems that creatively, scalably, and maintainably address real problems.

• Technical knowledge of C# or similar languages (e.g., Java) with the capacity to design, comprehend, and review production-quality code.

• Familiarity with enterprise SQL systems, such as SQL Server, including schema design, performance tuning, and complex query development.

• Monitoring mindset: Understands observability—logs, metrics, and alerting—and is capable of troubleshooting and resolving production issues with confidence.

• Quality assurance mindset: Views quality as a collective responsibility rather than a handoff—advocates for testing at every stage of the SDLC, from unit and integration tests to end-to-end validation. Recognizes the importance of test coverage, code reviews, and regression safety nets in maintaining a healthy, production-ready codebase.

• Navigating ambiguity: Thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments and is comfortable making decisions with incomplete information.

• Experience in remote work: Comfortable collaborating with distributed teams using asynchronous communication and demonstrating a high degree of self-management.
