Candidates must possess direct, hands-on experience working within Public Sector environments and Global Capability Centers (GCCs).

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of full-stack, front-end, and back-end engineers within a GCC environment through technical coaching, regular code reviews, and pair programming.

2. Architecture & System Design

• Architect scalable, maintainable, and highly secure web applications using modern React, Node.js, and TypeScript stacks.
• Design robust RESTful and GraphQL APIs, microservices, and serverless functions tailored to enterprise and public sector compliance requirements.
• Make critical decisions regarding data store selections, caching strategies, state management, accessibility standards, and secure third-party integrations.

3. Software Engineering & Execution

• Maintain hands-on contribution (approx. 50–60% coding/architecture, 40–50% leadership/review).
• Optimize web application performance across the entire rendering pipeline, from front-end bundle sizing to database query efficiency.
• Implement and advocate for CI/CD, automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end), secure coding standards, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
