Technical Lead / Development Manager

Job Description: 

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Development Manager / Technical Lead to drive architecture, design, and development across our enterprise platforms. This is a hands-on role that blends deep technical work with leadership responsibilities, ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex business problems with scalable, modern technology.

Key Initiative:
You will lead the refactoring and modernization of our legacy member management and billing systems, transitioning from AS400/RPG to a robust, scalable Java/Spring microservices architecture deployed in the cloud (AWS). This is a critical initiative for the organization and will define the core infrastructure for the next decade.

⸻

Key Responsibilities
    •    Lead the architectural design and development of microservices using Java/Spring, migrating away from legacy AS400 systems.
    •    Build and lead a team of engineers responsible for core platform components, with a focus on maintainability and scalability.
    •    Oversee and contribute to the full software development lifecycle—from design and development to testing and deployment.
    •    Collaborate with stakeholders from product, operations, and finance teams to align technical implementation with business needs.
    •    Champion modern software engineering practices (CI/CD, testing, monitoring) and help implement them across the organization.
    •    Mentor and support engineers through code reviews, technical discussions, and career growth planning.
    •    Leverage AWS services to build scalable cloud-native systems, incorporating best practices for security and performance.
    •    Lead efforts to reduce technical debt and ensure long-term sustainability of software solutions.
    •    Actively participate in hiring and team scaling as the platform evolves.

⸻

Minimum Requirements
    •    15+ years of experience in software development, including 5+ years of technical leadership or managerial experience.
    •    Strong, hands-on expertise in Java (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud) and the .NET ecosystem (.NET Core, ASP.NET).
    •    Proven experience building and modernizing enterprise systems, especially in accounting, billing, or financial domains.
    •    Prior experience working with or migrating from AS400 and RPG systems.
    •    Deep understanding of AWS cloud infrastructure (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, etc.).
    •    Solid foundation in system design, software architecture, and microservices best practices.
    •    Excellent communication skills and the ability to drive collaboration across technical and non-technical teams.

⸻

Preferred Qualifications
    •    Experience in refactoring monolithic applications into microservices.
    •    Familiarity with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban).
    •    Proficiency in CI/CD tooling and DevOps practices (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, Terraform).
    •    Exposure to container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.
    •    Understanding of database performance tuning, distributed systems, and data pipelines.
    •    Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS/SNS).
    •    Fintech, SaaS billing platforms, or ERP system background is a plus.
