## Description

We are looking for a senior, hands-on software engineer and technical leader to lead the development and continued evolution of the Charles River Self Service Portal (SSP).

The successful candidate will combine deep full-stack engineering expertise with strong technical leadership. This role will contribute directly to architecture, design, and development while providing technical direction, mentoring engineers, and collaborating across teams to deliver secure, scalable, maintainable, and high-quality solutions.

Responsibilities

 * Provide hands-on technical leadership for the SSP engineering team, contributing directly to architecture, design, development, code reviews, testing, troubleshooting, and delivery.

 * Design, develop, test, and implement full-stack solutions using Java, Spring/Spring Boot, React, JavaScript/TypeScript, REST APIs, SQL, and related technologies.

 * Drive the architecture and evolution of cloud-hosted, microservices-based applications, ensuring solutions are scalable, resilient, secure, observable, and maintainable.

 * Provide technical direction for SSP while ensuring alignment with broader Charles River architecture, engineering standards, and platform strategy.

 * Collaborate with Product Owners, QA engineers, architects, and other stakeholders to refine requirements, assess technical feasibility, identify dependencies, and translate business needs into effective technical solutions.

 * Lead technical analysis and problem solving for complex development and production issues across application, integration, database, infrastructure, and cloud components.

 * Promote strong engineering practices through architecture and code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, secure development, operational readiness, and continuous improvement.

 * Coordinate with other engineering and platform teams on cross-team dependencies, integrations, technical changes, risks, and delivery activities.

 * Mentor engineers and strengthen the technical capabilities of the geographically distributed team through coaching, design discussions, code reviews, knowledge sharing, onboarding, and hands-on collaboration.

Participate actively in the agile development process, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, standups, retrospectives, and other team ceremonies.
