Software Lead

As a Software Lead, you will be part of an Agile, cross-functional product delivery team responsible for designing, developing, testing, and maintaining mission-critical digital solutions. You will deliver the full scope of Software Engineer responsibilities while taking on greater ownership in technical design, code quality, testing strategy, estimation, delivery risk management, and technical guidance for assigned modules or work streams.

Working under the guidance of the Solution Architect and Software Architects, you will analyse existing software codes and processes, recommend scalable and secure software solutions, and collaborate with the Engineering Team and HTX work units to make informed decisions on tools, technologies, and design patterns. This role is suitable for engineers with a minimum of 4 years of relevant software development experience who are ready to contribute as a technical lead within an Agile delivery environment.

Core Software Engineering

• Deliver functional, tested, secure, and scalable software features based on the product backlog, agreed sprint priorities, and project delivery plans.
• Work in cross-functional Agile teams and contribute to sprint planning, backlog refinement, development, reviews, retrospectives, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with QA engineers, Product Designers, Dev Ops engineers, Business Analysts, Product Owners, Product Managers, and stakeholders to ensure solutions meet both technical and user requirements.
• Clarify requirements where required and translate business or user needs into technical specifications, implementation tasks, and acceptance considerations.
• Design and develop front-end applications, backend services, APIs, and software modules using the project’s approved technology stack.
• Support software development for Proof of Concept (POC) and/or Initial Operations Capability (IOC) initiatives, enabling safe experimentation and incremental delivery.
• Write, maintain, and guide the implementation of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to support automated testing, quality gates, and continuous integration pipelines.
• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipeline templates for automated build, testing, security scanning, and deployment in alignment with the Authority’s toolchain.
• Set up, maintain, and troubleshoot development environments to support productive development, testing, experimentation, and onboarding of engineers.
• Apply Dev Sec Ops  practices, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, secure coding standards, and software maintenance best practices where applicable.
• Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve software defects, technical issues, and post-deployment support matters in a timely manner.

Software Leadership and Technical Ownership

• Lead software teams, modules, projects, or work streams, ensuring that engineering delivery is well planned, coordinated, and aligned to sprint and release objectives.
• Analyse existing software codebases and processes, identify improvement areas, and provide technical recommendations for scalable, secure, and maintainable software solutions under the guidance of the Solution Architect and Software Architects.
• Collaborate closely with the Engineering Team and HTX work units to make informed decisions on tools, technologies, architecture implementation, and design patterns to address complex problems.
• Lead technical design discussions, implementation planning, technical evaluation, benchmarking, and solution trade-off assessments.
• Oversee code quality through regular code reviews, ensuring adherence to coding standards, secure coding practices, design principles, documentation expectations, and engineering…
