Job Level
About the role
- Own and evolve the engineering organization — hiring, structure, culture, and career development across all engineering functions
- Define and execute a technology strategy centered on AI-first product development, Azure PaaS, and modern .NET architecture
- Champion the adoption of agentic AI across both the product and engineering workflow — including Azure OpenAI Service, Semantic Kernel, and tools like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex that allow engineers to build software, not just autocomplete it
- Lead architectural decision-making across the full stack: C# .NET Core APIs, Azure PaaS services, and modern web frontends
- Establish and enforce engineering standards: code quality, CI/CD, security, observability, and reliability practices
- Drive the roadmap for platform scalability and cloud cost efficiency on Azure, leveraging App Services, Azure SQL, Service Bus, Azure Functions, and related PaaS offerings
- Collaborate with Product and Design to translate business strategy into technical execution, maintaining alignment without sacrificing engineering rigor
- Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies and frameworks — particularly in the AI/ML space — to keep the platform competitive and ahead of the market
- Represent engineering at the executive level; communicate technical strategy, risk, and investment tradeoffs clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- Foster a culture of continuous improvement, blameless learning, and measurable outcomes
Requirements
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 4+ years in a senior engineering leadership role (Director, VP, or equivalent)
- Deep, hands-on background in C# and the .NET ecosystem (.NET 6+, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core)
- Proven experience designing and scaling enterprise SaaS applications on Microsoft Azure PaaS (App Services, Azure SQL, Service Bus, Azure Functions, Key Vault, API Management, etc.)
- Demonstrated track record of embedding AI into products and engineering workflows — including agentic AI systems, LLM orchestration, and hands-on use of tools like Claude Code or OpenAI Codex to build software at speed
- Strong architectural instincts across distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and microservices
- Experience building, mentoring, and retaining high-performing engineering teams in a remote-first environment
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical complexity into business outcomes.
Benefits
