- 2+ years of technical leadership experience—team lead, tech lead, or similar role driving technical delivery.
- Deep experience with .NET technologies (e.g., .NET / .NET Core and related frameworks).
- Expertise in distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and large-scale service design.
- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP preferred).
- Strong knowledge of web services (REST, SOAP).

- Set technical direction, guide architecture decisions, and ensure alignment with long-term platform strategy.
- Own and drive complex engineering initiatives end-to-end, from design to production deployment.
- Ensure the team adheres to engineering best practices (code quality, testing, observability, security, performance).
- Provide day-to-day guidance, code reviews, technical mentorship, and growth opportunities to team members.
- Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous technical improvement.
- Help in onboarding, coaching, and developing junior and mid-level engineers.
- Work closely with product management to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions.
- Collaborate with SRE, infrastructure, and security teams to ensure system reliability and operational excellence.
- Guide the team in iterative development cycles with strong attention to scalability, performance, and supportability.
- Lead technical discussions, drive consensus, and communicate decisions effectively across teams.
