Job Description

• Deliver high-quality, secure, and scalable software solutions aligned to business and user requirements.
• Contribute to technical design and architectural decisions, ensuring adherence to organisational standards.
• Apply coding standards, testing, and automation practices to improve reliability and reduce defects.
• Mentor and support project teams, building technical capability across the team.
• Drive continuous improvement of development processes, tools, and practices for greater efficiency.
• Optimize system performance and resilience through proactive debugging, monitoring, and enhancements.
• Actively engage in agile delivery, contributing to backlog refinement, sprint planning, and knowledge sharing.

• Deliver high-quality software solutions that meet stakeholder requirements and customer expectations; own outcomes for scope, quality, timelines, and cost.
• Govern adherence to the chosen SDLC (Agile/Waterfall/Hybrid): planning, requirements, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
• Lead agile ways of working: set sprint goals, run/oversee ceremonies, clear impediments, and ensure predictable delivery and continuous improvement.
• Drive estimation quality, backlog prioritization with Product, and re-planning to adapt to changing requirements while protecting team focus.
• Ensure the team’s proficiency in core CS fundamentals (data structures/algorithms) and application within the frontend and services stacks.
• Manager solution and service design: architect, develop, and evolve microservices in containerized environments; ensure secure, scalable patterns.
• Institutionalize version control discipline, CI/CD, frequent incremental releases, automation, and effective work breakdown.
• Guide cloud-native design across multiple cloud platforms; leverage managed services where appropriate for full-stack delivery.
• Translate architecture requirements into actionable specifications; de-risk emerging technology adoption and ensure production readiness.
• Strengthen cross-functional collaboration (Product, QA, Platform/SRE, Security) and transparent stakeholder communication.
• Drive root-cause analysis, permanent fixes, and timely resolution of complex issues.
• Optimise pipelines, developer experience, and delivery workflows; introduce pragmatic innovation.
• Ensure solutions are customer-centred, value-adding, and aligned to business goals; measure outcomes, not only outputs.
• Enforce secure-by-design practices and compliance with security, privacy, and regulatory standards.
• Build and lead a high-performing engineering team, hire and onboard effectively, set clear goals and expectations, coach and mentor, run regular 1:1s and feedback loops, and foster an inclusive, psychologically safe culture (measures: engagement/eNPS, regrettable attrition, skills-matrix coverage, probation pass rate).
• Align roles and OKRs, plan squad capacity, conduct fair reviews and IDPs/PIPs, manage succession and growth, and remove delivery blockers (measures: sprint predictability/on-time delivery, throughput per FTE, performance distribution health, time-to-fill).

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Postgraduate degree or relevant certifications (e.g. Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, TOGAF) will be advantageous.

Experience:

• 5-8 years of progressive experience in software development, with a strong focus on designing, building, and maintaining scalable digital solutions.

Skills :

• Proficiency in entire Java technology stack backed by multiple projects and visible accomplishments
• Strong knowledge of telecom systems, protocols and industry standards (Preferred)
• Solid understanding of web technologies, APIs, and webservices
• Detailed knowledge of database management systems, SQL, and NoSQL databases
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a focus on delivering robust and scalable solution
