Job description

As Lead Software Developer, you will focus on leading software development teams and working with business teams across the organization to drive next generation solution development.

We are seeking a highly skilled Lead Software Developer who combines deep technical expertise with a customer-first mindset and treats solutions as products, not just projects. This role emphasizes ownership, user-centric thinking, and long-term value delivery.

You will lead the development of scalable web and mobile applications using .NET, Angular, Flutter, and Azure DevOps, while leveraging AI-assisted development tools to improve speed, quality, and innovation. You will also act as a product-minded engineer, ensuring that every solution delivers meaningful business and customer impact.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

  • 6-8 years of full-stack software development experience.

  • Strong expertise in:

    • Microsoft .NET (C#, ASP.NET Core, Web APIs)

    • Angular (modern versions)

    • Flutter (Dart)

  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar developer productivity tools.

  • Experience in integrating AI/ML APIs and services into applications.

  • Solid experience with Azure DevOps (CI/CD pipelines, automation, repos).

  • Strong understanding of microservices, RESTful APIs, and cloud-native architecture.

  • Experience with Microsoft Azure cloud platform and services (App Services, Functions, Storage, etc.).

  • Proficiency in SQL Server and familiarity with NoSQL databases.

  • Strong knowledge of Git/version control.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead architecture, design, and implementation of full-stack web and mobile applications.

  • Adopt and promote a customer-first approach, ensuring solutions address real user needs and business impact.

  • Treat applications as products, focusing on usability, scalability, maintainability, and continuous improvement.

  • Drive adoption and best practices for AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, AI code review, automated test generation).

  • Design and develop .NET (C#, ASP.NET Core) backend services and Angular frontends.

  • Build and maintain cross-platform mobile apps using Flutter.

  • Integrate AI/ML services and APIs (Azure AI, OpenAI, cognitive services) into applications where applicable.

  • Establish and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, incorporating automation and AI-driven quality checks.

  • Own the end-to-end lifecycle, including design, development, deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement.

  • Lead code reviews with emphasis on AI-assisted quality improvements, security, and performance optimization.

  • Mentor developers on modern development practices, including AI-augmented workflows.

  • Continuously gather feedback, monitor usage, and drive product enhancements based on data and user insights.
