• Functional Quality Assurance: Be responsible for and ensure the overall functional quality of all released software products, focusing on high-quality, on-time delivery that exceeds customer expectations.
• Product Direction & Innovation: Influence the technical roadmap for a specific product area and actively promote innovation by introducing new technologies and advanced knowledge to the team and product.
• Complex Programming & Analysis: Perform in-depth, highly complex software systems programming and analysis, working independently with complete latitude for judgment on advanced projects.

• 5 to 10 years of hands-on experience in software engineering and application development
• 5+ years working within a complex, enterprise-level software ecosystem or a large-scale industrial digital transformation environment
• Proven experience collaborating closely with Product Management and Software Operations teams to deliver production-grade systems
• A minimum of 1 to 2+ years of direct people management, team lead, or supervisory experience
• Demonstrated success managing and orchestrating highly multi-functional teams

Required Knowledge, Skills, or Expertise

• AI & Modern UI Frameworks: Strong conceptual and practical understanding of evolving platforms into AI-ready systems (experience with AI use-case implementation, LLM integrations, and modern client UI/UX transitions).
• Enterprise System Integrations: Hands-on experience architecting and managing critical system integrations, specifically with Salesforce (SFDC) and application lifecycle tools like Polarion.
• Architecture & Design: Exceptional skill in creating, documenting, and implementing complex software designs, including experience spearheading the significant re-architecting of critical systems.
