• Support cloud deployments, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, application security, and performance optimization.
• Collaborate with product, QA, infrastructure, business, and vendor teams to translate requirements into effective technical solutions and ensure successful delivery.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of software engineering experience spanning application design, development, testing, and production support.

• Strong hands-on expertise in C#, .NET, React 18+, TypeScript, and component libraries such as Material UI.

• Knowledge of distributed systems, enterprise integration patterns, secure development practices, automated testing, and CI/CD.

• Demonstrated technical leadership, including architecture and code reviews, mentoring, and coordination with external technology partners.

• Experience with AWS services, including ECS/EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, SNS/SQS, and CloudWatch.

• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code, microservices, cloud-native development, and application modernization.

• Background in financial services, investment or asset management, wealth management, or related platforms such as portfolio, trading, or order management systems.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
