The ideal candidate will have proven experience in customer-facing roles, leading cross-functional teams, and delivering projects in domains such as Automotive, Semiconductor, or Healthcare. This role calls for a hands-on technologist who can define solution architecture, guide design decisions, and remain credible in deep technical discussions while managing end-to-end project delivery.

Responsibilities

• Own full-stack solution architecture, design, and deployment decisions, and act as the final technical authority on the project.

• Conduct architecture and code reviews, and act as an active technical mentor, effectively supporting team's technical development.

• Manage project schedules, deliverables, quality, and cost aspects in strict alignment with organizational goals.

• Conduct daily project tracking and controlling to ensure timely and quality delivery from initiation to closure.

• Identify project risks proactively, develop robust mitigation plans, and resolve ongoing issues effectively.

• Provide comprehensive weekly status reports to executive management. Track project progress, milestones, and KPIs using relevant project management tools.

• Maintain established organizational processes and ensure strict adherence to SDLC, Agile/Scrum practices, security standards, and quality policies.

• Act as the primary point of contact for Japanese clients, ensuring clear and consistent communication.

• Allocate resources effectively, manage budgets, and meticulously monitor project costs.

• Evaluate emerging tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns (cloud, microservices, APIs) and recommend adoption where it improves delivery quality, scalability, or cost efficiency.

  Required Qualifications Experience

• 8+ years of overall IT experience, combining a strong foundation in full-stack architecture with extensive project management expertise.

• Proven experience managing and delivering complex IT projects, preferably in Automotive, Semiconductor, or Healthcare domains.

• Experience working with Japanese clients is a strong advantage.

• Japanese Language Proficiency: NLPT/JLPT N2 or above (Preferred).

• Prior experience working in Japan for a few years is an added advantage.

• Strong experience in direct customer interaction and stakeholder management.

• Hands-on Architecture Experience: Demonstrated track record of designing and delivering full-stack solutions front-end, back-end, database, integration, and cloud/infrastructure not only overseeing them at a program level.

• Technical Design Reviews: Experience leading architecture/design and code reviews, defining non-functional requirements (scalability, security, performance), and making build-vs-buy or technology-stack decisions.

  Skills Competencies

• Strong technical skills in the architecture, design, and deployment of full-stack software solutions.

• Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile/Scrum, and traditional project management methodologies.

• Excellent leadership, communication (verbal written), negotiation, and problem-solving skills.

• Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Jira, Confluence, etc.).

• Ability to work effectively in a multicultural and global environment.

• Working knowledge of modern architecture patterns (microservices, APIs, event-driven design) and hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP), along with DevOps/CI-CD practices and application security standards.

• Certifications (Preferred): PMP, CSM, TOGAF, or a relevant cloud/solutions-architect certification (AWS, Azure, or GCP) are a plus.
