Drive Software Delivery

  • Partner with business and operational leaders to understand needs and translate them into a clear technology roadmap.
  • Prioritize competing initiatives across new development, system integrations, enhancements, and production support.
  • Lead delivery of software solutions through every phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
  • Promote best practices for design, testing, code reviews, CI/CD, release management, and documentation.

Ensure Reliable Applications

Build Modern Technology Solutions

  • Oversee development using the Microsoft technology stack, including .NET, C#, Azure, and Azure Service Bus.
  • Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture to deliver scalable, secure, and resilient solutions.
  • Ensure engineering standards and architectural governance are consistently followed.

Enable Data-Driven Decisions

Drive Innovation Responsibly

  • Evaluate emerging technologies including AI, automation, and new Azure capabilities.
  • Lead proof-of-concepts and pilot programs that solve real business challenges.
  • Introduce new technologies with appropriate security, compliance, and operational governance.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of experience delivering and supporting enterprise business applications.
  • 4+ years leading software development and application support teams.
  • Strong experience with Microsoft technologies including:
