This is a hands-on role requiring deep technical expertise, a full-stack mindset, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, international environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Partner with development teams to optimize product performance, ensuring scalability, reliability, and efficiency of our software solutions.
- Drive cybersecurity and compliance initiatives by implementing secure coding practices, conducting risk assessments, and ensuring adherence to industry regulations (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2).
- Uphold and enforce quality standards across the software development lifecycle, including code reviews, testing strategies, and documentation.
- Define and promote architecture best practices and blueprints, creating reusable patterns and frameworks to accelerate development while maintaining consistency.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement full-stack solutions, spanning front-end, back-end, and infrastructure components.
- Mentor engineers, providing technical leadership and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
- Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends, recommending tools and approaches to enhance our technical ecosystem.
- Work closely with product managers, architects, and stakeholders to align technical solutions with business objectives.
Key Deliverables:
- Performance optimization reports and implemented improvements that enhance system scalability and reduce latency by measurable metrics (e.g., 20% reduction in response time).
- A comprehensive cybersecurity framework, including secure coding guidelines, vulnerability assessments, and compliance audit checklists tailored to regulatory standards.
- A quality assurance toolkit, including automated testing suites, code review templates, and documentation standards adopted by development teams.
- A library of reusable architectural blueprints (e.g., microservices templates, API design patterns) documented and integrated into the development process.
- Full-stack prototypes or production-ready features demonstrating end-to-end implementation of critical system components.
- Mentorship plans and technical training sessions delivered to upskill team members, with measurable improvements in team productivity or code quality.
- A technology roadmap incorporating emerging tools and trends, presented to leadership with actionable recommendations.
- Regular architecture review reports aligning technical implementations with business goals, shared with stakeholders quarterly.
