Job description

Client & Leadership

Lead end-to-end client engagements: discovery, solution design, delivery, and post-go-live support.
Build and maintain strong executive-level relationships; act as a trusted technical advisor.
Facilitate requirements workshops, steer scope and expectations, and negotiate trade-offs.
Mentor senior and mid-level engineers; foster a culture of quality, ownership, and continuous improvement.
Contribute to pre-sales: estimates, proposals, solution narratives, and technical win strategies.

Architecture & Hands-On Delivery

Perform code reviews, troubleshoot complex issues, and occasionally write production code to unblock teams.

Quality, Risk, and Governance

Establish quality gates, testing strategies (unit/integration/load), and reliability practices.
Identify technical risks early and lead mitigation plans; ensure compliance and security best practices.
Measure outcomes and iterate: track KPIs, gather feedback, and refine solutions over time.
