• Technical Strategy and Collaboration: Collaborate closely with the Head of Engineering and other technical leads to shape the technical roadmap, ensure cohesion, and bridge the modern cloud stack with the core desktop application.

Essential requirements

• Deep C# and .NET Expertise: Extensive, in-depth knowledge of C#, modern .NET frameworks (such as .NET Core, .NET 5+), and mastery of object-oriented design principles.

• Proven Technical Leadership Experience: At least 2+ years of demonstrated experience in a formal or informal leadership capacity, specifically focused on mentoring, technical guidance, and driving project delivery.
• DevOps and CI/CD Fluency: A solid, working understanding of Azure DevOps, Git, and the implementation of robust Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Excellent Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to articulate complex technical ideas, architectural rationale, and project updates clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical audiences.
