• Lead technical strategy within their domain and establish engineering standards, technical approaches, and system design decisions adopted across multiple projects and shared technology platforms.

• Lead cross-functional initiatives spanning multiple teams involving system integration, APIs, data exchange, platform modernization, and performance optimization.

• Lead the Identification and communication of technical risks, dependencies, trade-offs, and mitigation strategies to project teams, engineering leads, and senior leadership as needed.

• Lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and implementation of sustainable corrective actions across teams.

• Evaluate application performance, reliability, scalability, capacity, and operational effectiveness and lead the implementation of proactive improvements.

• Ensure software systems and changes align with established security, privacy, data protection, and compliance requirements.

• Lead automation, monitoring, and operational improvements that reduce recurring issues and strengthen system resilience across teams.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
