Descripción del trabajo

Project description

Modernization as a Service (MaaS) is a horizontal practice, supporting all business verticals in the company. Core Engineering Lead responsibility: owns the end-to-end engineering process across all account projects. This is the single person accountable for technical outcomes on the account.

Responsibilities

- Owns technical risk management across all projects. Ensures critical activities are not delayed or skipped: load and performance testing is planned and executed on time, key integrations are verified early, security reviews are conducted, and infrastructure capacity is validated before major releases

- Reviews project roadmaps, WBS, and technical estimates prepared by Solution Architects. Challenges assumptions and identifies gaps

- Acts as the technical escalation point for all functional leads and architects

- Defines and enforces engineering standards across all projects: code review policy, CI/CD practices, branching strategy, documentation standards, Definition of Done from a technical perspective

- Runs Architecture Review Board (ARB). Reviews and approves key architectural decisions, ensures consistency across projects. Reviews all Solution Architect artifacts: HLD, LLD, integration specs, ADRs. Ensures quality and consistency

- Reviews test strategy and works with QA Leads to improve it. Helps QA Leads strengthen areas where they fall short

- Coaches and mentors functional leads and architects. Helps leads strengthen areas where they fall short

- Steps in and covers responsibilities of leads or architects when they are underperforming: reviews their deliverables, takes over critical tasks, and works hands-on until the gap is closed





- Monitors technical debt across all projects, prioritizes remediation with PMs

- Drives cross-project reuse: shared libraries, common patterns, lessons learned

- Provides Delivery Manager with an independent technical health assessment. Flags risks early

- Participates in goal-setting and performance reviews for all technical roles, bringing the engineering quality perspective

- Owns the account's technical strategy: technology direction, competency roadmap, tooling decisions

- Interviews lead and architect candidates for their projects and makes hiring decisions

What Engineering Lead does NOT do:

- Does not replace Solution Architect on any project.

- Does not manage project scope, budget, or schedule.

- Does not write code on a daily basis. This is not a hands-on developer role

Skills Must have

- 10+ years in software engineering, with at least 3-5 years in a technical leadership role (Solution Architect, Tech Lead, Engineering Manager, or similar)

- Very strong hands-on experience in the past

- Has led technical delivery on large engagements: 30+ people, multiple concurrent workstreams

- Has worked across the full stack of project roles: started as a developer, grew into a lead, then into an architect or engineering manager. Understands each role from the inside

- Experience in a consulting/outsourcing delivery model is strongly preferred. Understands client dynamics, onshore/offshore coordination, and delivery pressure

- Has managed or closely supervised architects and functional leads, not just developers

Nice to have
