Experience: 15 years+

Leadership & Management Skills

• Outcome Ownership: Proven ability to take complete ownership of a business outcome end-to-end —understanding the target, debating the technical approach and trade-offs, and once a decision is made,committing to it and being accountable for its delivery, quality, and long-term shelf life in production.

• Hiring Accountability: Full accountability for interviewing, vetting, and hiring top engineering talent for your pod(s) — you are personally responsible for the quality of the team you build and the delivery that results from it.

• Pod & Delivery Leadership: Ability to stand up and run a pod (or pod of pods) that owns a domain end-to-end: onboarding engineers, running delivery governance that is lightweight rather than bureaucratic, and escalating only the blockers that genuinely need to be bubbled up.

• Cross-Geo Partnership: Comfort operating as an extension of the Canada-based team rather than a downstream vendor — attending daily stand-ups, building direct working relationships with Salesforce, integration, and SRE counterparts, and knowing who to call when something crosses a domain boundary.

• Architectural Voice: A mandate to bring architectural authority to the table: thought leaders on this team work with delivery so that what is proposed is what actually ships and holds up in production, rather than designs that drift once handed off.

• Culture Building: A servant-leader who protects a culture of innovation, delivery, and fun, and who actively resists unnecessary process — the goal is a lean, quick, and simple way of working,



not adding heavyweight reporting because "that's how it's always been done."

• Talent Magnetism: Ability to attract and retain talent that can compete with Bangalore's startup market —engineers who bring modern technical curiosity and creative problem-solving, not only integration/operations profiles.

Technical Skills &Acumen;

• Module Federation / Micro-Frontend Architecture: Deep working knowledge of federated front-end architecture: a shared shell (navigation, session, layout, analytics) plus independently owned and deployed micro-frontends (MFEs), each mapped to a single business domain (e.g., Qualification, Product Catalog, Checkout, Billing, Customer Profile).

• Stack Fluency: Comfort overseeing modern front-end stacks — React 19, TanStack Router/Query, a shared design system (Brand UI and Product UI), and standardized build/test tooling (Rspack, Vitest browser-mode testing, visual regression) — even without writing the code personally day to day.

• Engineering Standards & CI/CD: Understanding of how Guardrails-over-gatekeeping pipelines work (linting, TypeScript, security scanning, live review environments) so standards are enforced by tooling, not by adding process.

• Integration & Systems Thinking: Awareness of how the front end integrates with Salesforce, MuleSoft,



and other backend/API layers — enough to debate translation and integration approaches with an architectural and cost lens, and to know when a workaround belongs in the API layer rather than the front end.

• AI-Assisted Delivery: Experience championing AI-assisted SDLC — planning agents, delivery agents, and AI-assisted testing — to help developers ship faster and with fewer defects.

• Observability & Production Readiness: Familiarity with observability and AIOps practices (proactive/reactive tiering, telemetry pipelines, tools such as New Relic and Dynatrace) so your domain& production health is visible and defensible.

• Systems Thinking: Ability to look across your domain(s) and adjacent ones to spot reuse opportunities, reduce tech debt, and avoid rebuilding what already exists in the shared platform.

Qualifications

• 15+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years in a senior leadership role (Director or equivalent) owning delivery for teams of 50+ engineers.

• Demonstrated success building and scaling teams in a GCC, global capability center, or global delivery model —ideally one that has moved from staff augmentation to outcome ownership.

• Hands-on or recent front-end engineering background (React or comparable modern framework); experience with micro-frontend or federated architectures is a strong plus.

• Experience in telecommunications or large-scale digital/retail platforms is a strong plus.

• A track record of building trust with distributed stakeholders and operating with autonomy rather than waiting to be told what to do.
