Calgary, AB, Canada Halliburton Full-time
We are looking for the right people — people who want to innovate, achieve, grow and lead. We attract and retain the best talent by investing in our employees and empowering them to develop themselves and their careers. Experience the challenges, rewards and opportunity of working for one of the world’s largest providers of products and services to the global energy industry.

About Landmark Landmark, a Halliburton company, builds the software and data solutions that help the global energy industry make better decisions. Our products span subsurface interpretation, well construction planning, reservoir simulation, production optimization, and digital operations. These are tools used daily by engineers and scientists at the world’s largest energy companies and run as cloud-native SaaS and as enterprise on-premises solutions.

Job Duties You lead a small delivery team and own the technical execution of what the team ships. You set direction, develop the engineers on the team, and stay close enough to the code to make good decisions about what the team commits to and how it delivers. This is a hands‑on role: you keep writing code.

The role suits an experienced software engineer who is ready to take on the delivery and growth of a team. Candidates new to the team lead role are welcome, especially if you have led a small team informally or owned delivery of technology with a team before.

Strong software engineering fundamentals are the primary requirement. Domain knowledge is valuable but can develop on the job.

Positions are available across a range of teams. Team assignment determines both the product domain and the technologies used.

Teams build software for domains such as:

Geoscience — geology, geophysics, or petrophysics

Drilling engineering and well planning

Reservoir engineering and modeling

Production engineering and optimization

E&P data management and integration

Cloud and platform infrastructure, data services, and developer tooling

AI-assisted analytics, search, and generative AI

Technologies used vary by team and include:

Languages such as Java, C#, F#, C++, Python, and TypeScript

Frameworks, platforms, and runtimes such as .NET, Eclipse RCP/SWT, JUnit, Angular, React, and Node.js

Cloud platforms including Azure and AWS

Containerization and orchestration tooling such as Docker and Kubernetes

Infrastructure automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and Argo CD/Flux

Relational and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and MongoDB.

What You Will Do You lead a small delivery team and contribute code alongside them. The work has two dimensions, and you do both every day.

Build and ship software

Own features end to end: analyze requirements, design solutions, write the code, test it, and ship it

Proactively identify and fix weaknesses in the codebase, test coverage, and development process

Investigate and resolve production defects and trace root cause when symptom and source are not in the same place

Apply secure coding practices, surface vulnerabilities in code reviews, and fix security issues as they arise

Evaluate and integrate open-source tools and libraries where they improve the systems

Stay close enough to the code to make sound technical decisions about what the team commits to and how it delivers

Lead the delivery team

Own technical execution and delivery for a small team of engineers building production software

Translate product requirements into concrete delivery plans with realistic schedules and clear task ownership

Run design and code reviews and hold the team to consistent technical standards

Set technical direction for your team’s area: technology choices, design approach, and how the team works

Surface blockers, risks, and schedule changes early, and keep engineering leadership current on team status

Work directly with Product Management and engineering managers on planning, scoping, and priority trade-offs

Develop the engineers on the team through code reviews, pairing, direct feedback on growth areas, and the standard you set in your own work

This is a management‑track role. People management responsibilities are limited at this level, but the role is expected to grow into formal people management over time.

Qualifications Required

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience

5–10 years of software development experience

Strong proficiency in at least one of: Java, C#/F# (.NET), C++, Python, or TypeScript (React, Angular, or Node.js)

Experience owning the full development cycle: requirements analysis, design, implementation
