About The Position

The Senior Manager, Software Engineering will explore relevant products/solutions to address business/technical needs, assess gaps, and classify requirements. This role involves anticipating solution risks, contributing to user stories, and assisting in the design of solutions that ensure processes/applications work in tandem. The manager will evaluate trade-offs, convert High-Level Design (HLD) to detailed design, and create/configure minimalistic code to meet business and non-functional requirements. They will also assist in selecting appropriate languages, development standards, and tools, and take the initiative to learn new coding languages and frameworks. Responsibilities include building automation scripts for CI/CD, testing, and other processes, implementing telemetry features, ensuring security policy adherence, mapping customer requirements to testing objectives, identifying and creating test cases, executing various types of testing, and tracking/analyzing defects. The role also involves troubleshooting performance and availability bottlenecks, conducting complex maintenance procedures, monitoring application performance, evaluating change requests, and monitoring project progress against milestones. The Senior Manager will provide inputs to stakeholders regarding schedule progress, health, issues/risks, and key dependencies, and ensure adherence to the CI/CD process. Additionally, they will assist in decomposing product architecture, defining architectural specifications, applying architectural patterns, and defining the architecture blueprint for components. The role requires analyzing system performance impacting reliability, operability, performance efficiency, and security. This position supervises 6 associates: 2 Software Engineer IIIs, 2 Senior Software Engineers, and 2 Staff Software Engineers.

Responsibilities

Explore relevant products/solutions from an existing repertoire that can address business/technical needs.
Assess gaps/ updates/ modifications between the customer/business expectations and the existing product/solutions.
Classify the requirements into applicable types (e.g., Functional/Non-Functional, Derived/Imposed/Emergent).
Anticipate the solution risks / issues during requirements gathering phase, inform relevant stakeholders and recommend corrective steps.
Contribute to the creation of user stories for component/application/complex.
Assist in design of solutions such that the processes / applications work in tandem for specific components/modules of a product.
Evaluate trade-offs while designing a component based on the business requirements.
Assist in conversion of HLD to create detailed design using mock screens, pseudo codes and detailed functional logic of the modules for specific modules / components of a product.
Create/configure minimalistic code for entire component/application and ensure the components are meeting business/technical requirements, non-functional requirements, low-maintainability, high-availability and high-scalability needs.
Assist in the selection of appropriate languages (E.g. JavaScript, Python, C# etc.), development standards and tools (E.g. Monday.com, Linx, Embold etc.) for software coding/configuration.
Take the initiative to learn the fundamentals of different coding languages and frameworks that would be useful for future scope of work.
Build scripts for automation of repetitive and routine tasks in CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery), Testing or any other process (as applicable).
Implement telemetry features as required independently.
Ensure security policy requirements are properly applied to components/application during code development/configuration.
Map the customer requirements into testing objectives.
Identify and create test cases for the component/module.
Execute test cases to test the code and detect errors and defects for the entire component.
Execute different types of testing using appropriate testing tools based on the testing needs.
Track and analyze defects for the component/ module and carry out regression testing to fix defects in all instances of code changes.
Analyze defects from past projects/solutions to avoid recurrence of similar defects.
Troubleshoot performance and availability bottlenecks for the application.
Conduct complex maintenance procedures for applications independently.
Monitor and evaluate the performance of the application by tracking and analyzing appropriate metrics; Perform maintenance (corrective, adaptive, perfective) and re-engineering activities.
Analyze application logs, maintenance activity data, performance data and analysis; Evaluate change requests to identify those which are valid and feasible.
Monitor and evaluate the progress of the projects against approved milestones and timelines.
Provide inputs to relevant stakeholders regarding schedule progress, health, issues/risks, and key dependencies.
Provide inputs to relevant stakeholders for the creation of project plans.
Ensure adherence to the CICD process as per identified schedule.
Assist in decomposing the product architecture into multiple components and modules and define architectural specifications for each module.
Create/Apply the right architectural pattern across the module as indicated in the architectural plan to obtain the right result.
Define the architecture blueprint for the various components within a product/solution.
Analyze system performance impacting the complete product for non-functional requirements like reliability, operability, performance efficiency and security.
