This role blends leadership, technical expertise, and project ownership, overseeing both the strategic direction and execution of application development within the region.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in Microsoft technologies, experience leading development teams, and the ability to align technical solutions with business needs.

• Contribute to high-level system architecture and application design, ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical best practices.
• Ensure adherence to coding standards, version control, testing practices, and release procedures.
• Guide efforts to modernize legacy .NET Framework and Angular-based systems where appropriate.
• Provide support for SQL Server development and reporting, including Power BI integration.

Required Skills & Experience

• 10+ years of professional experience in full-stack application development.
• 3+ years in a leadership or senior developer role managing software teams or projects.
• Experience with Visual Studio 2022+, Azure DevOps, and source control tools such as Git.
• Proficiency in Microsoft SQL Server, including design, performance tuning, and complex T-SQL queries.
• Experience managing application portfolios and coordinating cross-functional delivery.
• Comfortable working in Agile development environments and balancing evolving priorities.
• Familiarity with third-party API integrations, testing practices, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Business-oriented mindset with the ability to deliver user-focused solutions aligned with organizational goals.

Nice to Have

• Experience with mobile application development (Android/iOS).
• Familiarity with Power BI, dashboards, or other enterprise reporting tools.
• Exposure to application modernization strategies or legacy system refactoring.
• Experience working in the Engineering, Oil & Gas and Construction

Qualifications

• Degree or diploma in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities and deadlines.
• Self-motivated, adaptable, and capable of working in a dynamic, evolving environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with both technical and non-technical teams.
