predictability, software quality, platform reliability, engineering productivity, and integration turnaround time.\nLead the evolution of existing systems while supporting new functionality and maintaining operational continuity.\nFoster agile / AIDLC development practices and use delivery outcomes and team feedback to improve how the team works.\nBuild, lead, and develop a high-performing engineering team, establishing clear goals, accountability, and a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.\nCoach and mentor engineers through regular feedback, career development, and opportunities to strengthen technical and leadership skills.\nOwn engineering planning and delivery for integration and faxing solutions, managing priorities, dependencies, risks, and stakeholder expectations.\nPartner with product, architecture, and engineering leaders to translate business objectives into a technical roadmap and achievable delivery plans.\nGuide architectural decisions and engineering practices that improve platform scalability, performance, reliability, security, and maintainability.\n\nAdditional job responsibilities:\nContribute to the long-term architecture and modernization strategy for the Integration Platform.\nLead recruiting, onboarding, and talent development to build the capabilities needed for the team's roadmap.\nPartner with operational and advisory teams to identify recurring integration challenges and translate them into reusable platform capabilities.\nMaintain productive relationships with internal stakeholders, external partners, and vendors.\nSupport production readiness, incident resolution, and follow-up improvements that strengthen platform reliability.\nEvaluate emerging technologies and AI development tools through focused experiments with measurable outcomes.\nShare technical knowledge and effective engineering practices across teams.\n\nExpected education and experience:\nBachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or related field.\nAt least 12 years of experience across software development and engineering leadership, including experience managing engineering teams.\nDemonstrated ability to build and develop teams, manage performance, and deliver complex software initiatives.\nStrong technical background in Java and experience designing, developing, or operating scalable enterprise software.\nExperience guiding architectural decisions, managing technical trade-offs, and improving software quality and operational reliability.\nExperience with agile development methodologies and
