  • Evaluate and recommend tools, frameworks, and platforms that support ongoing scalability.

Coaching and Mentorship

  • Mentor and coach developers on engineering best practices, software design, and maintainability.

  • Foster a culture of quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

  • Lead by example in code reviews, technical planning, and peer learning sessions.

  • Help team members strengthen their technical and problem-solving skills.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with product managers, designers, and QA to ensure technical decisions support user and business needs.

  • Communicate architecture and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Support the client's internal engineering team through Beta release and post-launch improvements.

Required Skills and Qualifications

  • 8 or more years of experience in software development, with at least 3 years in a technical or solutions architecture role.

  • Experience designing and implementing web-based applications with complex business logic.

  • Strong understanding of frontend and backend technologies such as React, Angular, , .NET, or equivalent.

  • Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern CI/CD workflows.

  • Experience designing and integrating RESTful and GraphQL APIs.

  • Knowledge of relational and non-relational databases, data modeling, and optimization.

  • Familiarity with software design principles such as SOLID, DDD, and modular architecture.

  • Proven experience mentoring teams and leading technical discussions.

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
