We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer - Developer Enablement & Platform Engineering
Are you passionate about improving developer experience, building scalable engineering platforms, and enabling teams to deliver faster with higher quality? Our Chief Development Office (CDO) is looking for a Lead Software Engineer to design and deliver modern engineering solutions that accelerate enterprise-wide development.
In this role, you'll work at the intersection of engineering, product, and architecture-shaping platform capabilities, influencing technical direction, and contributing to modernization efforts across the organization.
You're the kind of person who is a 'builder' and is energized by improving developer experience and platform capabilities.
We need someone who is a natural problem-solver who prioritize practical, value-driven solutions and enjoys collaborating with engineering teams.
What You'll Do
Technical Analysis & Problem Solving
Analyze requirements for developer enablement frameworks, tools, and platform capabilities.
Evaluate existing systems and constraints to recommend clear, actionable solutions.
Use strong analytical and diagnostic skills to guide technical decisions within the team.
Solution & Feature Design
Contribute to the design and prototyping of platform features and reusable capabilities.
Build proof-of-concepts and assess technical feasibility and risks early in the development cycle.
Ensure alignment with established architectural standards and modern design patterns.
Engineering Execution & Delivery
Break down complex engineering work into iterations that drive measurable value.
Deliver high-quality, production-ready code and components.
Design solutions that are resilient, scalable, high-performing, and reliable.
Identify and mitigate delivery risks before they impact timelines or quality.
Able to operate with autonomy while recognizing when to escalate broader architectural decisions.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, large-scale enterprise environment.
Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement
Partner with product owners to refine scope, acceptance criteria, and definitions of done.
Work closely with Principal Engineers to apply and enhance common patterns.
Participate in demos, feedback loops, and adoption support activities.
Provide guidance and mentorship to engineering peers across multiple workstreams.
Strong communication and partnering skills across engineering and product teams.
Required Qualifications
5+ years of Software Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following:
work experience, training, military experience, or education.
5+ Hands-on experience with modern engineering stacks:
Java, Spring Boot, React, Node.js, Microservices, GitHub Actions, Kafka, MongoDB, Observability tooling
5+ Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures and CI/CD best practices.
5+ Experience applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) concepts.
5+ Hands-on experience with automated testing and engineering quality practices.
5+ Strong debugging, diagnostics, and performance tuning abilities.
5 + Ability to solve complex problems using structured thinking and analysis
