About the Role:
We are seeking an exceptional Development Leader to guide high-performing, full-stack engineering teams in delivering modern, scalable applications. This role requires a hands-on, technically credible leader who is deeply accountable for quality, delivery, and team success. The ideal candidate has led teams working with Java Spring Boot microservices on the backend, and React and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) on the frontend. This position thrives in environments that demand high standards, continuous improvement, and decisive leadership, challenging the status quo and building teams that consistently deliver.
Key Responsibilities:
- Technical Leadership & Hands-On Contribution: Provide hands-on technical leadership across the full stack, including Java/Spring Boot microservices, API design, distributed systems, React-based front ends, and AEM-driven experiences. Review architecture, designs, and code to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable. Actively participate in design reviews, production issue resolution, and complex technical decisions. Set clear technical standards and ensure they are consistently followed across the team.
- Engineering Excellence & Quality Ownership: Be personally accountable for code quality, reliability, and production readiness. Ensure strong engineering discipline, including code reviews, design reviews, automated testing, CI/CD best practices, and clear definitions of done and quality gates. Proactively identify and address technical debt before it impacts delivery or stability. Establish a culture where quality is owned by the team.
- People Leadership & Team Success: Lead, coach, and develop engineers across levels, building high-trust, high-performance teams. Set clear expectations, provide direct feedback, and hold the team accountable for results. Identify skill gaps and invest in growth through mentoring, learning, and stretch opportunities. Create an environment where engineers feel empowered, challenged, and supported.
- Delivery & Accountability: Own delivery outcomes for your teams; commitments, timelines, and results matter. Partner closely with Product Owners, Architects, and stakeholders to translate strategy into execution. Drive predictable, high-quality delivery while balancing speed, scope, and sustainability. Surface risks early and take decisive action to keep teams on track.
- Change Agent & Status Quo Challenger: Challenge outdated processes, inefficient practices, and unnecessary complexity. Drive continuous improvement in how the team plans, builds, tests, and delivers software. Encourage healthy debate and data-driven decision-making. Lead by example, modeling ownership, transparency, and a bias for action.
Required Qualifications:
- 8+ years of professional software development experience.
- 3+ years leading engineering teams in a full-stack environment.
- Strong hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architectures.
- Proficiency in React front-end development.
- Experience with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).
- Proven track record of delivering high-quality software at scale.
- Experience holding teams accountable while maintaining strong morale and trust.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience leading teams in platform or enterprise-scale environments.
- Telecom, media, or large distributed system experience.
