Own end-to-end delivery:
requirements discovery, solution design, implementation, testing, cutover, and post‑migration stabilization.
Set engineering direction through
reference architectures, patterns, standards, and guardrails (performance, resiliency, observability, security).
Drive technical decision‑making with a bias for
measurable outcomes (availability, latency, cost, deployment frequency, incident reduction).
Architecture, Modernization, and Consolidation
Design solutions to
reduce duplication
across corporate systems, including consolidation of services, data stores, CI/CD pipelines, and operational tooling.
Guide modernization efforts such as
service decomposition , API standardization, event‑driven patterns, and cloud/platform adoption where appropriate.
Lead integration strategies across identity, access, data, and enterprise applications.
Migration & Cutover Excellence
Define migration approaches (rehost, replatform, refactor) and execute with minimal downtime and risk.
Create and run
cutover plans , including rollback strategies, runbooks, verification checklists, and stakeholder communications.
Manage data migration planning: mapping, transformation, validation, reconciliation, and retention/compliance considerations.
Engineering Management (Technical Lead Scope)
Lead teams of Software engineers (directly or contracted): provide technical guidance, unblock delivery, and uphold high engineering standards.
Own code quality practices: design reviews, code reviews, test strategy, and technical documentation.
Mentor software engineers; build a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational ownership.
Reliability, Security, and Operations
Ensure production readiness.
Partner with security and compliance to implement
secure‑by‑design
practices (threat modeling, least privilege, auditability, secrets handling).
Drive post‑launch improvements using operational insights: incident learnings, performance bottlenecks, and customer feedback.
Stakeholder & Program Collaboration
Partner with Corporate platform teams, product, enterprise architecture, infrastructure, IT, and business stakeholders to align roadmap, scope, and sequencing.
Translate business goals into technical plans; proactively manage risks, dependencies, and delivery tradeoffs.
Communicate progress through concise status updates, technical demos, and executive‑ready summaries.
Required Skills Core Engineering
Strong proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Java, C#, Python, Go, TypeScript).
Deep experience building
distributed systems : APIs, services, asynchronous processing, caching, and data persistence.
Experience configuring and customizing SAAS applications.
Strong SDLC discipline: version control, branching strategies, testing pyramids, and release management.
Platform, Migration, and Consolidation Expertise
Proven success leading
large‑scale migrations
(apps and/or data), including phased rollouts and zero/low‑downtime strategies.
Hands‑on experience with
legacy modernization
and platform consolidation (decommissioning, dependency mapping, migration waves).
Leadership & Communication
Strong technical writing: architecture docs, runbooks, operational readiness checklists.
Ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across multiple teams.
Pragmatic decision‑making under constraints (timeline, risk, cost, regulatory needs).
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree
in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
7+ years
of professional software engineering experience, including
2+ years
in a lead role (tech lead, staff/lead engineer, or engineering manager with hands‑on delivery).
Demonstrated delivery of
enterprise‑grade platform initiatives
involving migration and/or consolidation with measurable outcomes.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience leading
multi‑team programs with complex dependencies.
Experience with enterprise identity and access patterns (SSO, RBAC), data governance, and audit requirements.
Familiarity with domain‑driven design, event‑driven architectures, and platform engineering practices.
Experience with cost optimization and FinOps‑style practices in cloud.
