Lead Developer (Cloud & FullStack) - Senior Manager

Who We Are Looking For:

We are seeking a Full Stack Software Engineer to play a critical role in modernizing the technology ecosystem that supports Internal Audit. This role sits at the intersection of engineering excellence, cloud‑native delivery, and intelligent workflow enablement, with a strong focus on building production‑grade systems that improve audit lifecycle efficiency, transparency, and data‑driven risk insights.

This is an individual contributor position with end‑to‑end ownership of complex systems. You will actively design, build, test, and operate full stack, cloud‑native applications, while also serving as a technical leader—driving system design decisions, setting engineering standards, and leading by example through high‑quality code.

You will deliver secure, scalable applications that embed AI‑enabled capabilities directly into user workflows—supporting structured content generation, workflow enhancement and planning experiences—while meeting enterprise standards for security, privacy, governance, and operational readiness.

What You Will Be Responsible For:

• Serve as a hands‑on lead engineer, owning the design and implementation of complex FullStack features across front‑end, back‑end, APIs, and data layers.
• Lead technical design and solution architecture for key initiatives, translating functional requirements into scalable, maintainable systems.
• Build high‑quality user interfaces using component‑driven architectures and modern state management, with strong attention to usability, accessibility, and performance.
• Design and implement secure, resilient backend services and RESTful APIs that support enterprise workflows and AI‑enabled user journeys.
• Set and reinforce engineering standards for code quality, testing, documentation, and maintainability through design reviews and code reviews.

Cloud, DevOps & Production Operations:

• Design and implement cloud‑native architectures, leveraging containerization, resiliency patterns, horizontal scalability, and performance optimization.
• Build, own, and evolve CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, automated testing, and release controls to enable rapid yet governed delivery.
• Ensure production systems meet enterprise expectations for availability, reliability, observability, and operational resilience.
• Own troubleshooting and resolution of complex issues across the full stack, leading root cause analysis and driving durable fixes.
• Champion best practices for monitoring, alerting, logging, and cost awareness in cloud environments.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• 10-15 years of experience delivering enterprise full stack web applications and APIs in cloud environments, with ownership of production systems
• Frontend: Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks (React, Angular, Vue.js).
• Backend: Expertise in Node.js, Python, Java, Ruby, or PHP.
• Cloud Platforms: Hands-on experience with cloud services (e.g., EC2, S3, Lambda, Azure App Service).
• Databases: Knowledge of MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or DynamoDB.
• Tools & Technologies: Version control (Git), Docker, Kubernetes, and RESTful API development.
