Requirements
- Post-secondary education in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 9+ years of hands-on software development experience, including back-end services, APIs, and databases.
- Experience in a leadership role managing software teams or projects — including 1–2 years of direct people management.
- Strong Problem-Solving Skills: Architect mindset — thinks beyond the code to design systems that solve real problems creatively and scalably.
- Strong technical knowledge of C# and ASP.NET with the ability to design, review, and contribute to production-quality code.

- Monitoring Mindset: Understands observability — logs, metrics, and alerting — and knows how to troubleshoot and resolve production issues confidently.
- Quality Assurance Mindset: Treats quality as a shared responsibility, not a handoff — champions testing at every stage of the SDLC, from unit and integration tests through to end-to-end validation. Understands the value of test coverage, code reviews, and regression safety nets in maintaining a healthy, production-ready codebase.
- Ambiguity navigation: Thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments — comfortable making decisions with incomplete information.
- Remote Experience: Comfortable working in distributed teams with async communication and a high degree of self-management.
- Hands-on balance: Maintain the right mix of direct technical contribution and team leadership depending on the needs of the team.
