About the Role:

The Lead, Software Developer will own the stability, performance, and reliability of the lifecycle asset management platform (LAMP) while providing technical direction and mentorship to a team of developers. This role blends technical mentoring (code reviews, delivery coordination) with direct coding in stack (Java, Blaze, Spring Boot) and modern integration patterns (RESTful/GraphQL).

 

What You’ll Do:

Technical Mentorship & Delivery

• Mentor a team of developers (prioritization, quality gates, code reviews, pairing, mentoring) and drive predictable delivery
• Remain hands-on in the codebase, designing, implementing, and reviewing features and fixes using Java, Spring Boot, Blaze (rules engine), and established RESTful/GraphQL integration patterns.
• Enforce coding standards, testing strategies, secure coding practices, and documentation expectations; ensure changes are observable, reversible, and well-documented

DevOps, CI/CD & Environment Health (Azure)

• Own CI/CD pipelines (build/test/deploy), environment promotion, and safe rollback across UAT and Production
• Manage Azure platform: AKS (Kubernetes), Redis, PostgreSQL, App Gateway
• Plan and execute patching and upgrades for frameworks, base images, and dependencies; address end-of-life components on schedule.
• Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM) to define, version, and audit environment changes
• Coordinate with Azure Data Factory for data movements/orchestration that support application workflows and reporting

Observability, Stability & Support

• Implement logs & metrics for troubleshooting and platform health analysis
• Implement accurate performance/stability dashboards (Graphana, etc) and alerts tied to SLOs/SLAs
• Lead incident response and RCA, then convert findings into prevention/mitigation tasks with measurable outcomes
• Drive performance tuning (application, database, network paths) and capacity planning to maintain a consistent user experience

Data & Integration Paths

• Build and maintain robust RESTful/GraphQL APIs, as well as service integrations, ensuring backward compatibility and proper deprecation practices
• Ensure reliable, secure application ↔ PostgreSQL connectivity (TLS, p
