- Coach technical leads and engineers through structured mentoring, design clinics, code reviews, paired problem-solving and reusable engineering guidance.
- Define and enforce engineering standards for clean code, design patterns, secure coding, API design, exception handling, observability and documentation.
- Embed shift-left quality practices, including test-driven development, automated unit and component testing, API contract testing, static code analysis and early security checks.
- Establish consistent quality gates and engineering exit criteria across development, CI/CD, system integration and release readiness.
- Drive root-cause analysis for escaped defects, recurring incidents,



rework and performance issues; ensure preventive actions are adopted across squads.
- Improve productivity through reusable frameworks, accelerators, automation, development standards and reduction of manual or repetitive engineering work.
- Assess team capability, identify skill gaps, create targeted learning plans and build succession for technical lead and architect roles.
- Partner with onsite solution architects, customer technology stakeholders, delivery managers, product owners, QA and DevOps teams to resolve technical dependencies early.
- Provide transparent reporting on engineering health, quality trends, capability progress, technical risks and improvement actions.
- Promote responsible use of GenAI-based engineering assistants where approved, with appropriate controls for security, confidentiality, code quality and human review.

- Understanding of transaction-intensive, highly available systems and the controls expected in regulated environments.
- Experience leading engineering across geographically distributed onsite and offshore teams and multiple concurrent squads.
- Ability to balance engineering rigor with delivery commitments, customer priorities and operational risk.
- - Leadership and Capability Expectations
- Lead through technical credibility, coaching and constructive challenge rather than only through project administration.
- Build a culture of ownership in which engineers prevent defects, raise risks early and continuously improve their craft.
- Create communities of practice for Java, microservices, APIs, testing and engineering excellence.
- Develop technical leads who can independently govern design quality and mentor their squads.




- Communicate clearly with senior customer stakeholders and translate complex technical issues into decisions, risks and actions.
- Demonstrate solid problem-solving, influencing, facilitation and stakeholder-management skills.
- - Success Measures
- Success measures should be baselined after joining and agreed with delivery and customer stakeholders.
- Indicative measures include:
- Reduction in defect leakage, escaped defects, repeat defects and defect-related rework.
- Improvement in automated test coverage, code-quality compliance and adherence to engineering gates.
- Improvement in delivery predictability, cycle time and engineering throughput without compromising quality.
- Reduction in technical debt and recurring production issues within the agreed scope.
- Progress in team skill proficiency, technical-lead autonomy and completion of targeted capability plans.
- Adoption and measurable reuse of engineering standards, accelerators and automation across squads.
- - - Candidate Profile Summary
- The ideal candidate is a engineering leader who combines deep Java and microservices expertise with a strong coaching mindset.
- The person should be comfortable moving between architecture discussions, code and design reviews, quality-governance forums and capability-building sessions, with a clear focus on improving the quality and productivity of offshore banking engineering teams.

- Qualifications

- Education and Experience
- Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related discipline.
- 12-18 years of software engineering experience, with substantial hands-on Java and microservices expertise.
- At least 4 years in a senior technical leadership role guiding multiple teams or squads.
- Experience in a product engineering, application development or large-scale modernization environment.

- Required Skills

- Required Technical Expertise
- Solid hands-on experience in Java/J2EE, Java 11 or later, Spring, Spring Boot and production-grade microservices.
- Deep understanding of RESTful APIs, API contracts, service decomposition, domain-driven design, synchronous and asynchronous integration patterns.
- Experience with messaging and event-driven technologies such as Kafka, MQ or JMS
