• Familiarity with cloud technologies (AWS EKS, SNS, SQS, IAM) or Azure/GCP equivalents.

• Experience with data technologies (Oracle, PostgreSQL, AWS RDS, AWS Athena, Parquet, PyArrow).

• Experience with data pipelines and ETL/ELT processes is a strong advantage.

• Hands-on experience with unit and functional testing (JUnit, PyUnit, Karate, Playwright, or similar).

• Experience with automation and pipeline implementation (Testing, CI/CD).

Key Skills and Competencies:

• Strong engineering skills with experience deploying maintainable, scalable multi-tier applications.

• Experience in test automation and solid understanding of testing tools.

• Agile (Scrum) experience and familiarity with modern engineering practices.

• Knowledge of engineering principles, design patterns, and best practices, with a commitment to continuous learning.

• Ability to support, mentor, and empower engineers to deliver higher value results.

• Strong analytical, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities.

• Effective communication and influencing skills with peers, business stakeholders, and technical teams.

• Ability to assess business needs quickly and propose scalable, reusable solutions.

• Passion for continual learning and professional development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, testing, deployment, and operation of enterprise-standard software applications.

• Drive engineering excellence through improved automation, test coverage, release velocity, and production health.

• Collaborate across teams to tackle complex technical problems and deliver real-world solutions.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key business partners and technical stakeholders.

• Translate requirements and system designs into clear documentation understandable by both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Participate in all aspects of delivery, including coding, quality assurance, DevSecOps, and operational support.

• Mentor and guide engineering teams to build technical capability and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Impact of the Role:

This role provides strategic and technical leadership, ensuring the delivery of secure, scalable, and high-quality cybersecurity solutions. The Director of Software Engineering drives engineering excellence, operational stability, and innovation, enabling teams to meet business and security objectives effectively while mentoring and growing technical talent.
