Roles and Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Lead Technical Strategy: Define, develop, and evolve software solutions and cloud infrastructure for full-stack and DevOps use cases, ensuring alignment with business goals in a fast-paced, agile development environment.
• Provide Technical Leadership: Guide developers in design, architecture, and implementation, leveraging modern frameworks and tools such as Python (Django/Flask), Angular, AWS, and DevOps pipelines (CI/CD). Foster best practices in code quality, scalability, and security.
• Collaborate with Key Stakeholders: Work with Product Managers, CTOs, Architects, and other leaders to define product vision, translate business requirements into actionable deliverables, and ensure technical feasibility and alignment with organizational goals.
• Architect Scalable Solutions: Design and implement full-stack applications and cloud-based systems, leveraging technologies such as REST APIs, microservices, containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes), and serverless architectures.
• Optimize Cloud Infrastructure: Drive the design and management of AWS cloud resources, including EC2, S3, Lambda, and RDS, using Terraform or CloudFormation for Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Build cost-effective and highly available systems.
• Drive Continuous Improvement: Lead efforts to eliminate inefficiencies, optimize workflows, and improve development and deployment processes using Agile methodologies and DevOps practices like CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Promote Excellence in Software Engineering: Act as a subject matter expert (SME) in full-stack development and cloud computing. Lead the development of reusable design patterns, coding standards, and best practices to ensure consistency and quality across teams.
• Analyze and Improve Performance: Evaluate and optimize performance for both backend services and front-end components. Use data-driven techniques like database tuning, caching, and monitoring to meet scalability and reliability goals.
• Stay Ahead of Technology Trends: Research and evaluate emerging technologies in cloud computing, DevOps, and front-end/backend development to drive innovation and maintain competitive advantage.

• Full-Stack Development: Advanced expertise in Python (Django/Flask) for backend development and Angular for front-end development, including component-based architecture, state management (NgRx), and RxJS.
• Cloud Architecture: Deep knowledge of AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, CloudFront, and VPCs, with hands-on experience managing scalable, distributed cloud systems.
• DevOps and Automation: Proficiency in CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions, along with container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes and containerization tools like Docker.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Expertise in IaC tools like Terraform or CloudFormation, including version control, modularization, and automation of deployments.
• Performance Optimization: Strong background in improving application and system performance through database design, caching strategies, load balancing, and distributed systems.
• Security and Compliance: Demonstrated knowledge of implementing security best practices, including IAM, encryption, and compliance with standards such as SOC2, HIPAA, or GDPR.
• Testing and Monitoring: Proficiency in testing frameworks like PyTest, Jasmine, and Karma, as well as monitoring tools like Datadog, Prometheus, or AWS CloudWatch for observability and incident response.

• Understands the business implications of technical decisions, balancing technical excellence with business priorities.
• Drives efficiency by assessing technology trends, building versus buying solutions, and advocating for the adoption of high-value innovations like serverless architectures and DevOps automation.
• Clearly articulates the ROI of technical initiatives and collaborates effectively with stakeholders to align goals and strategies.

• Influence and Inspire: Leads by example, influencing teams and stakeholders to align around shared technical strategies and goals.
• Problem Solving: Tackles ambiguity and conflicting priorities with a structured approach, prioritizing initiatives that deliver maximum impact.
• Mentorship and Growth: Develops junior and senior engineers through coaching, technical reviews, and collaborative problem-solving.
• Continuous Improvement: Promotes a culture of learning and adaptability, encouraging teams to embrace new tools, frameworks, and practices.

• Critical Thinking: Excels in analyzing complex systems, identifying patterns, and proposing innovative solutions.
• Adaptability: Thrives in dynamic environments, navigating change and pivoting strategies when required.
• Ownership and Accountability: Takes responsibility for deliverables, driving quality and timeliness across projects.
• Visionary Leadership: Energizes teams with a shared sense of purpose, fostering creativity and innovation to deliver industry-leading solutions.

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science or STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields with significant experience in full-stack and cloud engineering with the minimum of 9 years of experience.

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or STEM fields with a minimum of 8 years of experience in software development and cloud infrastructure.
