Job Description:

The Lead, Software Developer will own the stability, performance, and reliability of the lifecycle asset management platform (LAMP) while providing technical direction and mentorship to a team of developers. This role blends technical mentoring (code reviews, delivery coordination) with direct coding in stack (Java, Blaze, Spring Boot) and modern integration patterns (RESTful/GraphQL).

Job Responsibility:

Technical Mentorship & Delivery: Mentor a team of developers (prioritization, quality gates, code reviews, pairing, mentoring) and drive predictable delivery
Remain hands-on in the codebase, designing, implementing, and reviewing features and fixes using Java, Spring Boot, Blaze (rules engine), and established RESTful/GraphQL integration patterns
Enforce coding standards, testing strategies, secure coding practices, and documentation expectations
ensure changes are observable, reversible, and well-documented
DevOps, CI/CD & Environment Health (Azure): Own CI/CD pipelines (build/test/deploy), environment promotion, and safe rollback across UAT and Production
Manage Azure platform: AKS (Kubernetes), Redis, PostgreSQL, App Gateway
Plan and execute patching and upgrades for frameworks, base images, and dependencies
address end-of-life components on schedule
Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM) to define, version, and audit environment changes
Coordinate with Azure Data Factory for data movements/orchestration that support application workflows and reporting
Observability, Stability & Support: Implement logs & metrics for troubleshooting and platform health analysis
Implement accurate performance/stability dashboards (Graphana, etc) and alerts tied to SLOs/SLAs
Lead incident response and RCA, then convert findings into prevention/mitigation tasks with measurable outcomes
Drive performance tuning (application, database, network paths) and capacity planning to maintain a consistent user experience
Data & Integration Paths: Build and maintain robust RESTful/GraphQL APIs, as well as service integrations, ensuring backward compatibility and proper deprecation practices
Ensure reliable, secure application ↔ PostgreSQL connectivity (TLS, pooling, timeouts, retry/backoff) in partnership with platform/DB teams
AI-Assisted Engineering & Documentation: Leverage AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Codeium, Cursor) to accelerate coding, testing, refactoring, and to generate/update runbooks and technical documentation
Apply responsible AI practices (review outputs, licensing awareness, security scanning)
Stakeholder Communication: Provide clear, timely status on risks, releases, incidents, and stabilization progress to leadership and partner teams
Translate technical issues into business impact, timelines, and mitigation options

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, or a related field

Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, Bicep, or ARM (one or more required)
Azure Data Factory: building/operating data pipelines, triggers, monitoring, and troubleshooting
Experience implementing and supporting Azure PostgreSQL
Experience implementing and supporting Azure Redis
Solid CI/CD with Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions (or similar)
