The role is a key enabler of Mars’ digital strategy – a modern, pro-code automation platform that drives efficiency, resilience, and cost savings across hundreds of business processes. The Sr. Software Architect makes sure the squad delivers at pace while every migrated automation is correct, consistent with the platform standard, audit-ready and continuously drives improvements.

• Make sure migrated automations are proven equivalent to the originals through automated testing, including edge cases.
• Ensure test evidence meets ITGC audit standards and that the clean audit history is protected.
• Escalate standards or architecture questions to the CARS Senior Engineering Lead rather than forking the platform approach.
• Run or coordinate squad ceremonies and flow, surfacing blockers and dependencies to the Senior Manager.
• Balance migration throughput against quality and keep the squad focused on Phase 1 targets.
• Mentor junior engineers and grow the squad’s capability on Python, testing, and the Convergence platform.
• Partner with the other squad lead and the Senior Engineering Lead to keep both geographies aligned.
• Document architecture decisions, patterns, and run books to support scalability and audit.

Required Experience:

• 7+ years of software engineering with expert, production-grade Python, including object-oriented design
• Proven experience leading technical delivery and solution design in a team setting.
• Strong architecture and design judgment for building and migrating automations or applications.
• Excellent code review skills and the ability to set and uphold quality and testing standards.

• Hands-on experience running software in production, including monitoring, incident response, and operational support.Strong communication skills to lead a squad and align across geographies.
• Fluent English (written and verbal) - required for global collaboration

Preferred:

• Experience leading RPA-to-code migrations or platform builds.
• Hands-on use of AI coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Claude).
• Experience leading squads.
• Cloud platform experience (Azure or GCP) and enterprise integration patterns.
• Exposure to ITGC or other audit and control framework.
