  • Lead incident response for critical issues, conducting thorough post-mortems and implementing preventive measures
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

Required:
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience with a proven track record of architectural leadership and team elevation
  • Deep expertise in designing scalable SaaS systems and leading modernization efforts (cloud migrations, architecture refactoring)
  • Strong hands-on proficiency across the full stack-modern frontend frameworks(React/TypeScript), backend languages(PHP, C#, Java), relational databases(MySQL/PostgreSQL), and cloud platforms (AWS experience strongly preferred)
  • Demonstrated ability to make sound technical decisions under uncertainty and effectively communicate the rationale
  • Evidence of multiplying team effectiveness-through mentorship, technical standards, or process improvements
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Preferred:
  • Experience as the technical leader in a small to mid-size engineering team (3-8 engineers)

  • Track record of successfully leading cloud migration or large-scale modernization projects
  • Experience establishing engineering practices and standards in growing organizations
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:
