About The Position

TopQuadrant is seeking an Engineering Leader to lead our software engineering organization and partner closely with Product and other cross-functional stakeholders to deliver high-quality, predictable releases across our product portfolio. This role blends technical leadership with people management, organizational development and strategic technical direction.

Requirements

• 7–10+ years of engineering experience, with at least 3–5 years in a leadership role.
• Strong track record of leading development teams and delivering high-quality software at scale.
• Solid technical foundation in modern backend and frontend ecosystems, including Java/Spring, Spring Boot, Spring Security, and React.
• Experience improving SDLC processes, release management and engineering workflows.
• Ability to partner effectively with Product and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Solid technical foundation with the ability to understand architecture, code quality and system design.
• Comfortable working in a smaller organization where leaders are hands-on and collaborative.
• Experience with compliance-oriented environments (SOC2 is a must, GxP is a plus).
• Familiarity with semantic technologies (Jena, RDF, OWL, SPARQL, SHACL) or willingness to learn.
• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS.

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor engineering teams to deliver high-quality features, improvements, and releases across a stack that includes Java, Spring/Spring Boot, Spring Security, and React.
• Partner with Product on planning, prioritization, roadmap execution, and SDLC health.
• Maintain and improve release predictability, quality and developer experience.
• Collaborate with Tech Leads on architectural decisions and strategic technical initiatives.
• Ensure effective communication and coordination across engineering, product, QA, infrastructure and security.
• Partner with Infrastructure/Security leads to support SOC 2 controls, incident response and security posture.
• Support staffing planning, hiring, onboarding, and vendor/staff augmentation relationships.
• Champion engineering best practices, coding standards, testing, and CI/CD improvements.
• Foster an engaged, inclusive and continuous-improvement culture within Engineering.
