• Lead technical discussions and support teams in solving complex engineering challenges.
• Evaluate new technologies and identify opportunities to improve products, processes, and developer productivity.
• Drive innovation initiatives, including the adoption of AI and modern software engineering practices.

Your background

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Around 8+ years of experience in software development.
• At least 2 years of experience leading technical initiatives, projects, or cross-team engineering efforts.
• Strong understanding of software architecture principles, design patterns, and software lifecycle management.
• Ability to translate business requirements into practical and sustainable technical solutions.
• Strong documentation and communication skills.
• Experience with Microsoft Azure and modern application platforms.
• Experience with .NET technologies and software development in large-scale environments.
• Experience working with industrial, engineering, or other highly complex business domains.
• Experience introducing AI-assisted solutions or applying Generative AI technologies in enterprise environments.
• Experience working within international and cross-functional organizations.
• Azure, architecture, or related technical certifications would be an advantage.
• Very good English skills with the ability to communicate effectively in an international environment.
