• Work with product managers and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical plans, stories, and release roadmaps.
• Ensure adherence to best practices in code quality, security, performance, observability, and maintainability.
• Guide architectural decisions related to scalability, modularity, cloud cost optimization, and data flow.
• Review code and architecture contributions and mentor team members to elevate technical capabilities across the board.
• Drive continuous integration, deployment, and automation efforts alongside DevOps to streamline release pipelines.
• Help resolve technical blockers and maintain momentum across active sprints and project phases.
• Champion quality engineering practices, including unit/integration testing and automated test coverage.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a technical or team leadership role.
• Strong experience in backend development (Java, Spring Boot preferred) and solid understanding of microservice architectures.
• Familiarity with frontend architectures (Angular, modular SPAs, TypeScript) and integration points.
• Deep understanding of CI/CD, DevOps tooling (GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform).
• Hands-on experience leading cross-functional agile teams and delivering enterprise-scale software products.
• Strong knowledge of cloud-native development, preferably on Azure.
• Proficient in system and application architecture, integration design, and service scalability patterns.
• Understanding of QA methodologies, test automation, and performance testing frameworks.

Nice to Have:

• Background in Digital Oilfield (DOF), upstream workflows, or related oil & gas engineering software domains.
• Experience integrating or supporting ML/AI features or intelligent automation in software systems.
• Familiarity with event-driven systems and real-time data integration.
• Exposure to agentic AI design or AI augmentation of engineering workflows is a plus.

Industry Experience:

• Experience in the oil and gas industry will be a significant plus.
