We are seeking an experienced and driven Lead Developer & Software Architect to take ownership of a mature, business-critical application with a C# backend and TypeScript/React frontend. This is a senior individual contributor and leadership role — you will be responsible for setting the technical direction, making architectural decisions, and driving the quality and evolution of the platform.

You will be the primary technical authority for the product, working closely with product stakeholders. The ideal candidate is not only a strong hands-on engineer but also a pragmatic architect who can balance long-term technical health with the realities of product delivery.

What You Will be Doing:

• Own the endtoend technical architecture of the application, covering both backend services and frontend systems
• Lead all significant development efforts including feature work, refactoring, and performance improvements
• Establish and enforce engineering standards, code review processes, and best practices across the stack
• Drive technical discovery and planning, translating product requirements into sound architectural decisions
• Identify and address technical debt, bottlenecks, and systemic risks proactively
• Collaborate directly with product and business stakeholders to align technical roadmap with business goals
• Evaluate and integrate thirdparty libraries, services, and APIs where appropriate
• Ensure the platform meets security, reliability, and scalability requirements
• You will be working across a fullstack application with the following primary technologies:
• Assist in developing and maintaining organizational communications to ensure companywide knowledge of resources, quality standards and enhancements
• Work with Learning & Development to support ongoing employee training
• Participate in the MDR’s quality recognition program
• Ad hoc job as assigned by manager

Essential Skills Required

• A selfstarter who takes ownership and follows through without needing close management

• Comfortable with ambiguity and capable of turning vague requirements into clear technical plans
