• Guide modernization initiatives, including refactoring legacy systems and evolving toward modular or service-oriented architectures

• Partner with product owners, business leaders, and stakeholders to translate business requirements into clear technical direction and delivery plans

• Promote engineering best practices such as code quality, testing, documentation, and technical standards

• Balance feature delivery with technical debt management and platform stability

• Support production issues as needed, fostering accountability, learning, and continuous improvement

Cloud & Delivery Enablement (Supporting Focus)

• Leverage Azure cloud capabilities to support modern application architectures and scalable deployment models

• Ensure development teams are enabled with reliable build, deployment, and release processes

• Collaborate with platform or DevOps teams to align application needs with cloud and infrastructure capabilities

Successful Candidates Will Have

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent experience

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 3+ years in a technical leadership or people management role

• Strong hands-on experience with Java/Spring-based enterprise applications, modern front-end frameworks (Angular preferred), and relational databases (SQL Server or equivalent)

• Proven ability to lead development teams, guide architectural decisions, and deliver complex software solutions
