Key Responsibilities

Platform Reliability & Operations

• Own platform reliability — ensure all daily processing pipelines run cleanly, including EDI integrations, data syncs, order generation, and reporting delivery
• Own and maintain 130+ Azure Data Factory pipelines powering daily EDI processing and data integrations across major retail partners
• Lead incident response: diagnose issues, resolve them quickly, and build processes to prevent recurrence
• Implement automated monitoring and alerting to eliminate manual interventions from daily operations

Engineering Leadership

• Provide day-to-day oversight and mentorship of a distributed engineering team, including domestic developers and an offshore contractor team based in India
• Manage async communication across time zones, run standups, and ensure the team is unblocked and productive daily
• Conduct code reviews, set technical standards, and raise the bar on engineering quality across the team
• Establish and enforce CI/CD best practices across middleware and application layers

Architecture & Strategy

• Make and document key architectural decisions across our Node.js API, Azure SQL multi-tenant database, and React front-end
• Serve as the communication bridge between engineering and leadership — proactively surfacing risks, blockers, and customer-impacting issues
• Lead development of new platform capabilities, including reporting tools, ERP integrations, forecast pipelines, and customer-facing features
• Participate in technical screening and interviews for future engineering hires as the team grows

Qualifications

Required

• 6–10+ years of full-stack development experience with strong backend and infrastructure depth
• 4+ years of tech or team leadership: mentoring developers, conducting code reviews, and setting engineering standards
• Experience managing distributed or offshore engineering teams across time zones
• Strong SQL skills including query optimization, stored procedures, and schema design; Azure SQL or SQL Server experience preferred
• Experience with Node.js / Express.js at production scale (our primary API layer)
• Hands-on Azure experience: App Service, SQL elastic pools, Data Factory, Key Vault, or APIM
• Proven track record of owning a production system end-to-end — not just writing code, but keeping it running and continuously improving it
• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS architectures (our platform manages 90+ tenant databases in Azure elastic pools with customer-specific configuration and automated deployments)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, and deployment automation

Nice to Have

• React and TypeScript proficiency (you will review front-end PRs, not write React daily)
• Data warehouse migration experience (e.g., Vertica, Snowflake, or similar to cloud-native)
• Power BI or analytics pipeline experience
• Background in supply chain, agri-tech, retail operations, or a domain with complex, time-sensitive data
• Active use of AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar)

Key Skills

• Exceptional ownership mindset — you claim a domain and drive it relentlessly without waiting to be asked
• Outstanding communication — you respond promptly, surface issues proactively, and translate technical problems clearly for non-technical stakeholders
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills across the full stack
• Business-minded — you understand that if customers cannot log in, write orders, or get their data, nothing else matters
• Experience with Agile development, sprint planning, and Jira for task management
