Lead Software Engineer

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Define architecture strategy and non-functional design to meet SLO/SLA and cost goals, ensuring security-by-default and regulatory alignment

• Lead multi-team Azure delivery and enable safe deployments across services such as AKS, Event Hubs/Service Bus, and Cosmos DB or SQL

• Implement practices such as policy-as-code, canary and blue-green deployments, environment parity, and automatic rollback

• Own reliability and observability through standardized tracing, metrics, and logging, as well as SLOs, error budgets, and actionable alerting

• Drive post-incident improvements by leading root cause analysis and implementing fixes that prevent recurrence

• Champion Infrastructure as Code and platform “paved roads” to improve consistency and developer experience

• Guide engineers through design reviews and establish clear quality standards while unblocking cross-team dependencies

• Collaborate with Product to make data-informed trade-offs across reliability, cost, and delivery speed

• Influence stakeholders across teams by negotiating priorities, mediating conflicts, and managing expectations

• Support team growth by contributing to development plans, delivering actionable feedback, and raising the hiring bar

• Communicate effectively through architectural decision records (ADRs) and narratives that connect technical trade-offs to customer and business outcomes
