* Collaborate across teams and disciplines, engaging with product owners, architects, and stakeholders to align technical solutions with strategic goals.
* Drive innovation, leveraging emerging technologies and frameworks to evolve our systems toward a target‑state architecture that supports future growth.
Key Responsibilities
* Champion engineering improvements and clearly articulate design principles to peers and the wider organization.
* Promote and support adherence to a well-defined Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) that enables effective planning, prioritization, and delivery.
* Lead estimation discussions by leveraging experience, challenging assumptions, and fostering innovative solutions.
* Facilitate conversations on software systems and architecture to guide meaningful technical decisions.
* Drive system evolution toward target‑state architecture through strategic refactoring and prioritized delivery.
