Job Description
Responsibilities
- Drive technical decision-making for your team: define architectural patterns, evaluate technology choices, and ensure decisions are well-reasoned, documented, and socialised.
- Own the tactical execution of your team's engineering roadmap — break down ambiguous problems into well-scoped work, maintain delivery momentum, and proactively surface risks before they become blockers.
- Stay hands-on: contribute to critical parts of the codebase, lead by example in code quality and engineering practices, and take ownership of the most complex technical problems.
- Collaborate closely with Product and UX from discovery through delivery — challenge requirements, propose better solutions, and ensure the team builds the right thing, not just anything.
- Work across the NeoLoad product and platform — spanning core test execution engines, integrations, and the UIs that make complex data accessible for enterprise users.
- Set and uphold engineering standards across the team: code reviews, design reviews, testing discipline, and operational readiness.
- Lead production incident response for your team — coordinate investigation and resolution, ensure clear communication during incidents, and own post-incident reviews that drive lasting improvements.
- Act as a technical bridge between your team and the broader engineering organisation — aligning on cross-team dependencies, reusable patterns, and platform direction.
Requirements
- Proven experience driving technical architecture in distributed, event-driven SaaS systems.
- 7+ years overall experience as a Software Engineer.
- 4+ years on a similar technology stack (TypeScript/React on the frontend, Java and Spring or similar framework on the backend).
