• Evaluate build vs. buy decisions with strong technical justification

Hands-On Coding & Code Review

• Actively participate in code reviews across all engineering teams
• Ensure high standards in code quality, performance, and maintainability
• Enforce best practices, design patterns, and coding standards
• Contribute directly to critical and complex implementations when needed

• Blue-green and canary deployments
• Environment and configuration management

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering
• Proven experience in a senior engineering leadership role (Head of Engineering, Tech Lead, or similar)
• Strong hands-on experience with modern tech stacks:
• Backend (.NET, APIs, Microservices)
• Frontend (React or modern frameworks)
• Mobile development
• Deep understanding of system design, architecture patterns, and distributed systems
• Strong experience in code reviews, engineering standards, and best practices
• Experience building and scaling CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
