We are seeking a Team Lead to oversee the design and development of Digital Services (back-end microservices) and Digital Experience (front-end portals, mobile apps, and chatbot) within a large-scale, multi-year digital transformation program.
This role requires a hands-on leader with strong technical expertise in .NET Core microservices, API-first design, and React-based front-ends, as well as proven experience leading development teams. The Team Lead will guide the development squads, enforce coding standards, deliver reusable components, and ensure integration with the wider ecosystem (integration platform, data platform, and identity services).
Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Delivery
- Lead the DSP/DXP development squads, managing developers, front-end engineers, and testers.
- Work closely with the Solution Architect to translate high-level designs into detailed implementation tasks.
- Align with the Service Delivery Manager on delivery timelines, risks, and dependencies.
- Ensure sprint plans and backlog items are delivered according to roadmap.
- Provide technical assurance on deliverables (code reviews, design reviews, quality gates).
Technical Hands-On Work
- Build skeleton projects and reference implementations for DSP microservices and DXP front-ends.
- Define and enforce API standards, logging practices, error handling, and security models.
- Develop shared libraries and reusable UI components (React, Tailwind, shadcn).
- Ensure DXP front-ends consume APIs securely via APIM.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines with DevOps team, ensuring automated builds, tests, and deployments.
Integration & Collaboration
- Collaborate with EIP (integration) teams to handle API/event flows.
- Work with IDP (data platform) team for data consumption and golden record lookups.
- Ensure DXP integrates with identity services (UAEPASS, Entra ID) for secure logins.
- Coordinate with QA and independent testers (Q-Pros) to prepare environments and resolve defects.
Standards & Governance
- Enforce secure coding practices (OWASP, PII handling).
- Ensure compliance with developer playbooks (logging, Kafka integration, API-first design).
- Maintain documentation for DSP/DXP components (API specs, design decisions, runbooks).
- Support the Operations Management Hub (OMH) by ensuring observability hooks (telemetry, correlation IDs).
Technical Skills Required
DSP (Back-End Services)
- Strong experience in .NET Core microservices.
- API-first development (REST, OpenAPI/Swagger, GraphQL is a plus).
- Experience with event-driven systems (Kafka or RabbitMQ).
- Security integration: OAuth2, JWT, Entra ID, UAEPASS.
- CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions).
DXP (Front-End Experience)
- Expertise in React (Next.js a plus), Tailwind, shadcn, component libraries.
- Experience with mobile app frameworks (React Native or Flutter) desirable.
- Chatbot integration (Copilot Studio, API-based conversational flows).
- Accessibility and responsive design standards.
- Performance optimization for web and mobile.
Cross-Cutting
- Cloud-native dev (Azure App Services, AKS, Functions).
- Logging & monitoring (ILogger, Serilog, App Insights).
- Secure coding and PII handling.
- Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery.
Soft Skills & Leadership Competencies
- Strong team leadership: mentoring, coaching, performance management.
- Clear communicator: able to bridge technical and business audiences.
- Strong collaboration skills (works well with architects, data, integration, and ops teams).
- Proactive problem-solver, able to unblock teams quickly.
- Ability to balance hands-on coding with oversight of team delivery.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of software development, with at least 3 years in a team lead role.
- Proven track record of leading full-stack projects with .NET Core and React.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
- Certifications in cloud architecture, agile delivery, or software engineering are a plus.
