  • Assess and adopt modern frameworks and tools that enhance development velocity, system scalability, and operational resilience.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams, conduct code reviews, and champion best practices that foster a culture of excellence and continuous learning.
  • Communicate architectural decisions and technical strategies to the Enterprise Architecture Review Board, ensuring alignment with organizational standards.
  • Proactively identify and resolve system performance issues, architectural inefficiencies, and reliability concerns through targeted improvement initiatives.
  • Develop and maintain detailed documentation covering system architecture, development workflows, and operational procedures to support scalability and onboarding.

  • Strong front-end development experience using Angular (latest versions), with a focus on building responsive, accessible, and user-centric interfaces.
  • Deep knowledge of relational databases, particularly SQL Server, including schema design, query optimization, stored procedures, and performance tuning using modern ORM frameworks.
