Job Description

As a Technical Lead, you will guide a cross-functional squad to deliver high-quality capabilities for our energy management platform. You’ll set technical direction, uphold coding and testing standards, and coach engineers while collaborating closely with Product and QA to achieve reliable, incremental delivery. Your expertise spans C#/.NET and Blazor, service design, and cloud execution in Private Cloud or GCP environments, with CI/CD at the core of how you ship.

Responsibilities

• Technical Direction & Delivery – Define solution approaches, break down work into tractable increments, and ensure predictable delivery through sprint planning and reviews.
• Engineering Excellence – Establish and enforce code quality, secure coding practices, automated testing, and CI/CD workflows.
• System Design – Lead design for services, APIs, data access patterns, and integration points that support scalable energy/IoT workloads.
• Collaboration – Partner with Product on scope/acceptance criteria; coordinate closely with QA to embed automation and shift-left testing.
• Mentoring & People Development – Coach engineers through pairing, design reviews, and constructive code reviews; model best-practice engineering habits.
• Operational Readiness – Ensure services are observable, documented, and operable, with clear runbooks and sensible non-functional baselines.

Qualifications

• Expert proficiency in C#/.NET and Blazor, with strong design and implementation discipline.
• Proven experience leading a squad or stream, including code reviews and mentoring.
• Comfort delivering services in Private Cloud or GCP, using CI/CD pipelines end-to-end.
• Strong grasp of service and API design, data access (relational and/or NoSQL), and performance considerations.
• Clear, practical communicator able to align engineers, Product, and QA around outcomes.
