  • Partner with Product Owners to ensure clear requirements, realistic commitments, and predictable delivery
  • Enforce release governance standards, ensuring all deliverables meet SLA expectations and QE approvals
  • Lead architecture discussions and modernization initiatives including service isolation, enterprise caching, and platform scalability
  • Champion or oversee OutSystems-based development where applicable-driving adoption, best practices, and integration with core .NET services
  • Collaborate with Infra, DBA, and NOC teams on capacity planning, deployments, and performance optimization
  • Build a culture of ownership, accountability, and responsiveness, including after-hours production support
  • Drive talent development, hiring, and performance management within the team
  • Provide executive-level communication on delivery status, risks, incidents, and mitigation plans


Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree
  • 8+ years of software engineering experience with 3+ years in engineering leadership roles
  • Strong expertise in .NET backend development, APIs, and distributed systems
  • Proven experience managing mission-critical, high-availability platforms

  • Experience leading onshore/offshore teams and driving accountability across time zones
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver in regulated environments
  • Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication skills
  • OutSystems experience (or genuine commitment and aptitude to learn OutSystems rapidly for platform delivery use cases)


Preferred:

  • OutSystems Developer or Architect certification (or in-progress)
  • Experience integrating OutSystems with enterprise .NET backends, APIs, and core banking systems
  • Background in core banking integrations or payment systems
  • Exposure to enterprise caching (e.g., Redis), identity platforms, or rules engines
  • Experience navigating cloud vs. on-prem architecture trade-offs in regulated environments
