Responsibilities:

Lead efforts to modernize software development processes, focusing on automation, CI/CD pipelines, and optimized workflows.

Establish and implement coding standards across Python and Node.js stacks, ensuring robust documentation and team alignment.

Design strategies for migrating legacy Python and Java systems, emphasizing pragmatic updates rather than full system rewrites.

Collaborate with QA, DevOps, and Product teams to streamline development and release cycles.

Facilitate technical design discussions, conduct code reviews, and provide guidance to less experienced team members.

Evaluate current infrastructure and applications to identify modernization opportunities that balance efficiency and scalability.

Develop and maintain scalable system architectures, leveraging microservices and containerized environments.

Drive initiatives to improve developer experience, including internal tooling and workflow enhancements.

Requirements

Minimum of 7 years' experience in software engineering roles, with demonstrated leadership in architecture and process improvement.
Advanced proficiency in Python and/or Node.js, with hands-on experience in Java.
Expertise in CI/CD pipeline development, static analysis integration, and test automation.
Familiarity with tools such as GitLab and Jira within structured development environments.
Strong understanding of microservices design and scalable system architecture.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to advocate for practical solutions and avoid overengineering.
Exposure to AI/ML tools for documentation, code review, and testing.
Experience in containerized environments such as Docker and Kubernetes.
