• Identify technical risks, recommend mitigation strategies, and support production issue resolution where required.

• Establish and promote software engineering best practices, coding standards, and governance.

• Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies, including AI-assisted software development practices where appropriate.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of experience in a Technical Lead or equivalent technical leadership role.

• Proven experience managing and mentoring development teams of 5 or more engineers for at least 3 years.

• Strong experience delivering enterprise application projects using Agile/Scrum methodologies.

• Solid experience in solution architecture, application design, and technical leadership.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to AI-assisted SDLC/PDLC tools and practices (e.g. AI-assisted coding, testing, documentation, or code review).

• Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.

• Experience with microservices, containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes), and cloud-native application development.

Employment Details

• Employment Type: 1-Year Renewable Contract

• Project Duration: Long-term programme with a planned major go-live in 2029.

• Renewal: Contract is expected to be renewed based on project requirements and performance.
