Team Lead, Software Development - 4

Lead technical discussions for assigned feature areas, including architecture choices, integration patterns, API contracts, data flow, security considerations, and scalability needs.

Guide the team in applying design patterns, microservices principles, event-driven design, secure coding practices, and cloud-native engineering standards.

Evaluate technical trade-offs and recommend pragmatic solutions that balance maintainability, performance, security, timelines, and business priorities.

Own quality gates for assigned modules, including design completeness, code review readiness, testability, observability, deployment readiness, and support handover.

Drive technical debt identification and remediation plans while ensuring ongoing feature delivery is not compromised.

Stay hands-on with development and troubleshooting, especially in complex, high-risk, or cross-component areas.

Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, debugging sessions, and structured knowledge-sharing discussions.

Help junior and mid-level engineers improve estimation, problem decomposition, coding standards, testing habits, and ownership mindset.

Encourage reuse of common components, shared engineering practices, and consistent documentation across the team.

Provide timely, constructive technical feedback to help team members improve delivery quality and engineering maturity.

Identify skill gaps and recommend learning opportunities related to .NET, AWS cloud services, integrations, security, performance, and AI-enabled product capabilities.

Own end-to-end delivery of assigned initiatives, features, or technical workstreams from requirements clarification through design, build, testing, release, and post-release support.

Ensure scope, dependencies, assumptions, risks, and acceptance criteria are understood before implementation starts.

Coordinate with QA, DevOps, Support, Product Management, Architecture, Security, and dependent engineering teams to ensure smooth delivery.

Track commitments, communicate progress periodically, and ensure stakeholders have visibility into status, risks, and mitigation plans.

Support release readiness activities, including build validation, deployment checks, defect triage, production monitoring, and rollback or recovery planning where applicable.

Drive root-cause analysis for recurring defects or production issues and convert findings into preventive engineering improvements.

Engage with business stakeholders, product owners, architects, support teams, and cross-functional engineering teams to clarify requirements and align on implementation approach.

Communicate technical decisions, risks, trade-offs, and delivery status clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Represent the engineering team in design discussions, sprint ceremonies, release discussions, issue triage, and customer-impact analysis as required.

Escalate deviations from specifications, design assumptions, UI mockups, timelines, or quality expectations with proposed resolution options.

Ensure team documentation, design notes, release notes, and support handover information are accurate and maintained.

Ownership mindset: Takes accountability for outcomes, not just assigned tasks, and follows through until issues are resolved.

Execution discipline: Balances technical quality with delivery timelines and keeps the team focused on priorities.

Decision quality: Makes practical engineering decisions using data, technical judgment, and stakeholder context.

Coaching orientation: Invests time in mentoring team members and raising overall team capability.

Collaboration: Works effectively across functions, locations, and release cycles while maintaining transparency.

Operational readiness: Ensures features are supportable, observable, secure, scalable, and production-ready.

Continuous improvement: Identifies recurring problems and drives improvements in process, architecture, automation, and engineering practices.

Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline or equivalent practical experience.

Minimum of 4 years of software development experience, with demonstrated ability to lead feature areas or technical workstreams.

Strong hands-on technical capability with Microsoft .NET, cloud services, APIs, integrations, and modern engineering practices.

Good communication skills and ability to work with multiple teams, geographies, and stakeholder groups.

Proven ability to mentor engineers, review designs, guide implementation, and improve technical quality.

Good team player with a collaborative approach and willingness to support team members during critical delivery or production issues.

Ability to manage ambiguity, clarify requirements, break down complex work, and drive execution in agile environments.

Strong customer and product mindset, with focus on quality, maintainability, performance, security, and supportability.

Feature work is delivered with clear ownership, predictable execution, and minimal avoidable rework.

Code quality, test coverage, documentation, observability, and support readiness improve across assigned areas.

Team members receive timely guidance, blockers are addressed quickly, and engineering practices become more consistent.

Stakeholders receive clear communication on progress, risks, dependencies, and technical trade-offs.

Production issues, recurring defects, and technical debt are actively analyzed and converted into improvement actions.
