Ensure the team delivers scalable, secure, reliable, and maintainable solutions that meet enterprise SaaS standards
Help shape engineering processes, development standards, CI/CD pipelines, and technical practices as the U.S. engineering organization grows
Participate in architectural discussions and contribute to long-term technology and system design decisions
Promote strong communication and collaboration across geographically distributed engineering and product teams
Diagnose complex technical issues, conduct code reviews, and lead the resolution of challenging engineering problems
Help build a positive, collaborative, and high-performing engineering culture
Balance technical leadership with hands-on development, remaining close to the code and actively contributing to delivery
Requirements
Proven experience as a Lead Developer, Senior Software Engineer, Technical Lead, or similar senior engineering role within a SaaS, enterprise software, or similarly complex technology environment

Practical experience with Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps, or equivalent cloud and CI/CD technologies
Proficiency with Visual Studio and/or VS Code
Strong understanding of software architecture, system design, scalability, security, and modern software development practices
Experience leading, mentoring, or developing other engineers, with the ability to lead through both technical expertise and influence
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working effectively across distributed teams and multiple time zones
Ability to make sound technical decisions while balancing engineering quality, delivery timelines, and business priorities
Experience in the automotive, enterprise SaaS, or other complex/high-availability software environments is highly desirable
