JOB DESCRIPTION

What you will be doing:

Lead multiple agile squads responsible for delivering modern full-stack application

capabilities, including user-facing applications, APIs, microservices, integration services,

platform modernization, and production enhancements.

Provide technical direction across squads by guiding solution design, reviewing

implementation approaches, and helping teams make scalable, secure, resilient, and

maintainable engineering decisions.

Partner closely with Product Owners, architecture, business stakeholders, and cross-

functional technology teams to align priorities, manage dependencies, and deliver

business outcomes.

Drive the design and implementation of Java-based microservices, REST APIs, front-

end applications, and integration services using modern technologies such as Java, Spring

Boot, AWS, Angular or React, SQL, relational databases, CI/CD pipelines, and automated

testing frameworks.

Create proofs of concept, demos, and prototypes to evaluate emerging technologies,

validate new ideas, and accelerate adoption of modern engineering patterns and platform

capabilities.

Establish and reinforce software engineering standards, including scalable design,

code quality, automated testing, peer reviews, deployment discipline, application security,

and operational readiness.

Ensure solutions are designed and delivered with appropriate compliance, auditability,

security, resiliency, accessibility, and production support considerations.

Oversee engineering production support by strengthening incident triage, root-cause

analysis, observability, recovery practices, and continuous improvement of application and

platform reliability.

Manage, mentor, and develop engineering talent through coaching, performance

management, hiring, delegation, and succession planning.

Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, continuous improvement, and

accountability while identifying opportunities to improve delivery efficiency and

engineering outcomes.

Qualifications:

10+ years of related software engineering or technology delivery experience, including

at least 2+ years of people management and leadership experience developing high-

performing engineering teams.

Demonstrated experience leading multiple agile squads and delivering complex

technology initiatives across full-stack applications, APIs, microservices, platform

modernization, integration services, and production enhancements.

Required hands-on or technical leadership experience with Java, Spring Boot, REST

APIs, microservices architecture, AWS, or cloud-native application development, Angular

or React, SQL, relational databases, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.

Strong background in full-stack software engineering, application architecture, API

design, enterprise integration patterns, application security, performance, resiliency, and

delivery of scalable digital products for business and end-user needs.

Experience establishing and applying software engineering standards, including

scalable design, code quality, automated testing, peer reviews, deployment discipline,

compliance standards, auditability, and production readiness.

Proven ability to provide technical direction, evaluate solution options, guide

architecture and implementation decisions, and create proofs of concept or demos to

validate new ideas and emerging technologies.

Experience managing engineering production support responsibilities, including

incident triage, root-cause analysis, resiliency improvements, observability, and

continuous improvement of application and platform reliability.

Strong leadership skills, including hiring, coaching, mentoring, delegation,

performance management, talent development, and succession planning.

Ability to manage dependencies with vendors, Product Owners, architecture teams,

business stakeholders, and internal engineering teams to deliver software solutions

effectively.

Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related technical

discipline, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and work experience;

advanced degree preferred.

Keys to Success in this Role:

Provide practical technical direction that helps teams make sound design,

implementation, testing, and production readiness decisions.

Build and develop strong engineering talent through coaching, mentoring, delegation,

feedback, and succession planning.

Create a team environment that promotes ownership, accountability, collaboration,

and continuous improvement.

Maintain focus on production quality, platform resiliency, auditability, and operational

excellence throughout the software delivery lifecycle.

Communicate effectively with Product Owners, architecture partners, business

stakeholders, and engineering teams to align expectations and remove delivery blockers.

Use data, engineering metrics, and lessons learned from production support to

improve team performance, delivery predictability, and platform reliability.

Bring strong discipline across multiple agile squads by setting clear priorities,

managing dependencies, and keeping teams focused on delivery outcomes.
