• Enforce release governance standards, ensuring all deliverables meet SLA expectations and QE approvals
• Lead architecture discussions and modernization initiatives including service isolation, enterprise caching, and platform scalability
• Champion or oversee Out Systems-based development where applicable - driving adoption, best practices, and integration with core .NET services
• Collaborate with Infra, DBA, and NOC teams on capacity planning, deployments, and performance optimization
• Build a culture of ownership, accountability, and responsiveness, including after-hours production support
• Drive talent development, hiring, and performance management within the team
• Provide executive-level communication on delivery status, risks, incidents, and mitigation plans

• Experience integrating Out Systems with enterprise .NET backends, APIs, and core banking systems
• Background in core banking integrations or payment systems
• Exposure to enterprise caching (e.g., Redis), identity platforms, or rules engines
• Experience navigating cloud vs. on-prem architecture trade-offs in regulated environments

• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
• Paid Sick Leave, 3 weeks’ Vacation, and Holidays (about 11 a year)
