As the Engineering Lead you are the most senior engineer embedded on the team. You own the technical execution uphold engineering excellence and guide the POD in building scalable resilient and maintainable solutions. You partner closely with the Technical Product Owner (TPO) and work alongside product data and platform teams to ensure delivery is not just timelybut aligned to our architecture standards platform ecosystem and long-term business goals.
This is a hands-on leadership role - youll code review mentor and architect while fostering a culture of curiosity craftsmanship and continuous learning.
ResponsibilitiesDefine and evolve architecture aligned to our organizations platform and enterprise patterns emphasizing modularity composability and and implement service boundaries integration strategies and APIs leveraging modern architectural approaches (e.g. event-driven microservices serverless)Collaborate with platform data and architecture teams to define consistent patterns for application layering schema alignment and pragmatic delivery with a vision for long-term extensibilityminimizing rework while avoiding premature coding standards code reviews and automated testing practices (unit integration and E2E)Guide adoption of best-in-class CI/CD workflows observability and infrastructure as performance security and operational readiness in every stage of the software development as a player-coachmodeling strong engineering practices pair programming and problem solving in junior and mid-level engineers helping them grow in system thinking modern development and technical a culture of collaboration continuous improvement and and enforce non-functional requirements (e.g. latency error budgets fault tolerance)Surface technical risks early and propose mitigation strategieswhether performance bottlenecks integration gaps or legacy testing monitoring and alerting into the development process to enable operational visibility and runtime with the TPO to shape a balanced backlog that delivers user value while addressing technical debt and foundational with platform and DevOps teams to align on shared services environments and deployment technical spikes proof-of-concepts and rapid prototyping that accelerate product discovery and de-risk delivery.
