Solution Architect/Technical Lead

Technical Lead/Solution Architect (Java)

The Technical Development Lead will be a pivotal role and key driving force in our Software Engineering team, responsible for the end-to-end technical lifecycle of enterprise software applications. This role requires a blend of deep technical expertise, architectural design proficiency, and leadership capability to guide development teams and ensure the timely, high-quality delivery of robust and scalable solutions. The Lead will bridge the gap between high-level architectural strategy and day-to-day development execution.

• Define and champion the technical design and architecture for new and existing enterprise software applications, ensuring alignment with overall business strategy and technology standards.

• Lead technical discussions, perform design reviews, and ensure the implementation adheres to best practices in coding, performance, security, and scalability.

• Drive the evaluation and integration of Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance application development capabilities and developer productivity.

• Conduct proof-of-concepts (PoCs) for new technologies and tools to determine their applicability to project needs.

• Provide hands-on technical guidance, mentorship, and code reviews to the development team on Java enterprise applications.

• Oversee the entire development cycle, from initial requirements translation through coding, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance/support.

• Act as the primary escalation point for complex technical issues, troubleshooting critical production incidents and leading rapid resolution efforts.

• Manage technical debt and advocate for improvements to system performance and maintainability.

• Lead the planning process for technical tasks, breaking down complex requirements into manageable user stories and assignments.

• Responsible for task allocation and resource management within the development team to optimize delivery timelines and workload distribution.

• Track and report on technical progress, risks, and resource utilization to stakeholders and management.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 7 years of experience in software development, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership or lead engineer capacity.
• Proven expertise in designing, developing, and deploying large-scale enterprise software applications using modern architectural patterns (e.g., Microservices, Event-Driven Architecture).

• Deep understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical planning, estimation, and execution within an Agile framework.
• Experience driving the adoption and implementation of AI tools and techniques within a development team.
• Familiarity with ethical AI practices and model governance.
• Strong communication skills, capable of articulating complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience in the government systems, financial services, healthcare, or similar highly regulated industry.
