Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Development Manager / Technical Lead to drive architecture, design, and development across our enterprise platforms. This is a hands-on role that blends deep technical work with leadership responsibilities, ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex business problems with scalable, modern technology.

Key Initiative:
You will lead the refactoring and modernization of our legacy member management and billing systems, transitioning from AS400/RPG to a robust, scalable Java/Spring microservices architecture deployed in the cloud (AWS). This is a critical initiative for the organization and will define the core infrastructure for the next decade.

⸻

Key Responsibilities
• Lead the architectural design and development of microservices using Java/Spring, migrating away from legacy AS400 systems.
• Build and lead a team of engineers responsible for core platform components, with a focus on maintainability and scalability.
• Oversee and contribute to the full software development lifecycle—from design and development to testing and deployment.
• Collaborate with stakeholders from product, operations, and finance teams to align technical implementation with business needs.
• Champion modern software engineering practices (CI/CD, testing, monitoring) and help implement them across the organization.
• Mentor and support engineers through code reviews, technical discussions, and career growth planning.
• Leverage AWS services to build scalable cloud-native systems, incorporating best practices for security and performance.
• Lead efforts to reduce technical debt and ensure long-term sustainability of software solutions.
• Actively participate in hiring and team scaling as the platform evolves.

⸻

Minimum Requirements
• 15+ years of experience in software development, including 5+ years of technical leadership or managerial experience.
• Strong, hands-on expertise in Java (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud) and the .NET ecosystem (.NET Core, ASP.NET).
• Proven experience building and modernizing enterprise systems, especially in accounting, billing, or financial domains.
• Prior experience working with or migrating from AS400 and RPG systems.
• Deep understanding of AWS cloud infrastructure (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, etc.).
• Solid foundation in system design, software architecture, and microservices best practices.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to drive collaboration across technical and non-technical teams.

⸻

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience in refactoring monolithic applications into microservices.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban).
• Proficiency in CI/CD tooling and DevOps practices (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, Terraform).
• Exposure to container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.
• Understanding of database performance tuning, distributed systems, and data pipelines.
• Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS/SNS).
• Fintech, SaaS billing platforms, or ERP system background is a plus.
