  • Lead modernization and continuous improvement initiatives that improve software delivery, platform reliability, developer productivity, operational excellence, and business value.
  • Own roadmap planning, prioritization, capacity forecasting, resource allocation, dependency management, budget inputs, and technology investment recommendations across multiple teams and initiatives.
  • Ensure production systems are reliable, available, secure, supportable, and continuously improved through monitoring, incident management, root cause analysis, and service improvement practices.
  • Communicate engineering strategy, delivery progress, risks, dependencies, tradeoffs, and business outcomes clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

Required Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience delivering enterprise-scale applications, platforms, integrations, or digital products.
  • 5+ years of experience leading software engineering teams in Agile delivery environments, including demonstrated success leading multiple teams and complex technology initiatives.
  • Strong technical fluency across modern software engineering practices, architecture/design patterns, backend frameworks such as Java/Spring Boot, APIs, microservices, distributed systems, and modern web technologies.

  • Experience implementing engineering performance metrics, operational health reporting, observability, monitoring, or production insights using tools such as Splunk, Datadog, AppDynamics, New Relic, or comparable platforms.
  • Experience leading globally distributed engineering teams and working across multiple delivery models, locations, or partner organizations.
  • Understanding of Responsible AI principles, enterprise AI governance frameworks, and modern Agile planning and collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence.
