CCTS Global Hiring! Full Time Application Service Delivery Manager in Federal Territory - Ricebowl

Role Summary:

The Application Service Delivery Manager will drive execution governance, engineering quality, and team 

productivity across General Insurance platforms. This role requires an experienced leader capable of 

orchestrating a delivery organization of 50–100 developers across at least 4 parallel delivery teams, 

enforcing strict architectural compliance, and leading complex monolith-to-microservices migrations without compromising business logic integrity.

Detailed Key Responsibilities

1. Architecture Governance & Design Conformance

• Design Baseline Adherence: Enforce rigorous technical governance across all delivery tracks to 

guarantee that application code is implemented strictly in accordance with approved Solution 

Designs, Architecture Blueprints, and API contracts.

• Audit & Sign-Off: Institute architecture review gates prior to sprint releases; prevent scope creep, 

design drift, and unauthorized code deviations from established technical baselines.

2. Delivery Productivity, Metrics & Tracking

• Velocity & Throughput Monitoring: Define, track, and optimize granular developer productivity 

metrics, including sprint velocity, burn-down trends, and individual/team throughput (e.g., Story 

Points delivered per developer per day).

• Bottleneck Analysis: Proactively identify systemic delivery roadblocks, code delivery bottlenecks, 

and dependency conflicts across squads to maintain a high, predictable delivery cadence.

3. Quality Assurance, Code Hygiene & Testing Standards

• Test Automation & Execution Gates: Establish and enforce mandatory testing thresholds for 

release readiness, including strict Code Coverage targets (Unit Tests via SonarQube/JaCoCo)

and target System Integration Testing (SIT) passing rates.

• Clean Code Framework: Drive adherence to clean coding principles (SOLID, DRY), automated 

static code analysis, vulnerability scanning, and peer review standards to minimize technical debt 

and production defect leakage.

4. Monolith-to-Microservices Migration Leadership

• Logic Preservation: Spearhead the decomposition of legacy monolithic applications into modular, 

scalable Java/Spring Boot microservices, ensuring 100% preservation of complex legacy 

business rules, rating calculations, and underwriting/claims logic.

SoftwareOne Resource Requirement

• Refactoring Strategy: Implement incremental modernization patterns (e.g., Strangler Fig, eventdriven integrations) to minimize operational disruption during migration.

5. Multi-Team Orchestration & People Management

• Multi-Squad Leadership: Directly oversee and steer at least 4 distinct engineering 

squads/teams totaling an overall delivery strength of 50 to 100 developers (internal engineers and 

vendor partners).

• Resource Optimization: Allocate capacity dynamically across features, bug remediation, and 

technical debt reduction based on sprint burn rates and business priorities.

Candidate Requirements

Mandatory Experience & Domain Knowledge:

• General Insurance (GI) Expertise: Deep domain knowledge exclusively within the General 

Insurance sector (e.g., Motor, Property, Casualty, Marine, Commercial lines, Policy Administration, 

Claims Processing, and Broker/Agent portals).

• Overall Experience: 10 to 15 years in software engineering and application delivery management.

• Scale of Leadership: Proven track record of managing a delivery organization of 50 to 100 

developers, with demonstrated experience managing a minimum of 4 distinct teams/squads

concurrently.

• Core Technology Stack: Extensive technical background in backend engineering focused on Java 

/ Spring Boot and microservices ecosystems.

• Architectural Modernization: Hands-on leadership experience in decoupling legacy monolithic 

applications into microservices, with demonstrable success in capturing and preserving functional 

and business logic during code migration.

Governance & Metric Capabilities:

• Metric-Driven Management: Demonstrated ability to manage teams using quantitative delivery 

metrics (velocity, cycle time, story points per developer per day).

• Quality Enforcement: Strong track record in establishing CI/CD quality gates, code coverage 

mandates, SIT sign-off criteria, and clean code governance.

• Stakeholder Translation: Ability to translate deep technical metrics, modernization risks, and 

• engineering health into clear, non-technical business language for executive leadership
