- Experience Level: 10-15+ Years of hands-on software engineering experience, with 4+ years in Leading or staff engineer role
Mandatory Skills (Full-Stack + Quality & Product Engineering)
- Deep expertise in .NET framework (C#, ASP.NET, .NET Core) and modern frontend frameworks (Angular 10+ and/or ReactJS with TypeScript).
- Proven experience designing and owning application architectures: service decomposition, API design, data modelling, and system integration patterns.
- Strong proficiency in microservice architecture, event-driven programming, async design patterns, and distributed systems.
- Extensive experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and Web APIs with a focus on contract-first design.
- Strong knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript for building robust, accessible user interfaces.
- Solid experience with relational databases (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL) including schema design, query optimisation, and performance tuning.
- Expert-level quality engineering mindset: deep experience with test automation frameworks, unit/integration/end-to-end testing, contract testing, and performance/load testing at the architecture level.
- Proven ability to embed quality gates in CI/CD pipelines - linting, static analysis, test coverage thresholds, security scanning, and automated regression.
- Strong understanding of quality management principles: defect prevention strategies, root cause analysis, test planning, quality metrics, and continuous quality improvement across the product lifecycle.
- Demonstrated expertise using AI-powered development tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, AI code-review/test-generation tools) and defining AI SDLC standards for engineering teams.
- Experience with version control systems (Git), branching strategies, and code review practices at scale.

- Design and build microservice-based, event-driven systems with async design patterns, ensuring resilience, loose coupling, and horizontal scalability.
- Lead the quality engineering practice at the architecture level: define test automation strategies, contract testing frameworks, performance/load testing architectures, and shift-left quality gates embedded in CI/CD pipelines.
- Establish and enforce coding standards, design patterns, and architectural decision records (ADRs) that raise the quality bar across all product engineering teams.
- Collaborate with product managers, engineering leads, QA leadership, and stakeholders to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions and architectural roadmaps.
- Drive cross-team technical alignment: review system designs, conduct architecture reviews, and ensure consistency across services and modules.
