• Current hands-on coding experience with Java and Spring Boot, including development of microservices and RESTful APIs.
• Experience with at least one modern UI framework, preferably Angular or React, and the ability to guide full-stack engineering decisions.
• Experience building, reviewing, testing, deploying, and supporting enterprise applications on a major cloud platform.
• Practical experience with source control, build automation, CI/CD pipelines, container-based deployments, unit testing, integration testing, static code analysis, and code-quality gates.
• Experience with Agile and Scrum delivery practices, including sprint planning, estimation, backlog management, release planning, and delivery tracking.
• Experience leading and coordinating distributed teams across multiple geographic locations and working effectively with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Demonstrated mentorship and coaching skills, including the ability to improve engineering practices and develop team capability.
• Experience with asynchronous and event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka or an equivalent messaging and event-streaming platform.
• Experience with logging, monitoring, alerting, and operational troubleshooting using Splunk or a comparable observability platform.
• Working knowledge of Hadoop, Apache Spark, or Apache Flink for batch or real-time data-processing use cases.
• Ability to manage delivery risks, production issues, competing priorities, and client communications in a fast-paced environment.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 25% of the time.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of software engineering work across planning, design, development, testing, release, and production support.
• Remain hands-on with coding, code reviews, troubleshooting, technical proof-of-concepts, and resolution of complex engineering issues.
• Guide solution design using Java, Spring Boot, RESTful APIs, microservices, Angular or React, relational or NoSQL databases, and cloud-native patterns.
• Plan and manage Agile delivery, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, estimation, daily coordination, demonstrations, retrospectives, release readiness, and dependency management.
• Coordinate work across teams located in different geographic locations and time zones, ensuring clear ownership, timely decisions, and effective handoffs.
• Mentor engineers through technical coaching, design reviews, code-quality feedback, career development conversations, and practical problem-solving support.
• Partner with product owners, architects, quality engineering, DevOps, security, operations, and client stakeholders to translate business requirements into achievable delivery plans.
• Monitor scope, schedule, quality, risks, issues, and delivery metrics; communicate progress and elevate impediments with recommended actions.
• Promote secure development, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, operational readiness, and continuous improvement across the engineering lifecycle.
