The Role

What’s it all about and what we expect you to do day to day?

Technology leader who is hands-on & and can lead a team of engineers. Expected to spend 70% of time coding/on code related activities, and 30% coaching engineers on the team. This person is recognized as a team’s authority and technical expert who drives innovation and organizational growth through their contributions.

They get their adrenaline rush by coding away in IDEs. They spend majority of their time in writing non-feature code. They are hands all the time and collaborate by writing interfaces, tests (unit or acceptance) and architecture fitness functions, outside of meeting rooms.

They implement, monitor and maintain compliance and security concerns in CI/CD pipelines to bring life to the principle of “Code is Design and Design is Code”.

Domain driven design in their game. They code to enforce the contextual mappings and aggregates for each bounded context. They drive implementation of consumer driven contracts to allow for evolution and learning of the domain model with hyper speed while meeting our promises to other teams internally and customers alike.

They are polyglot engineering gurus. they bring cutting edge engineering practices to life in multiple evolving frameworks – Feature flags, fitness functions and whatever is required to reduce the cost and increase the lifecycle value of next feature delivered by engineering teams.

They love declarative paradigm and functional programming. No one can stop them from paying off technical debt and refactoring the code for better SDLC, performance and availability.
