We are seeking a hands-on Technical Delivery Lead to drive the implementation of complex enterprise software initiatives in a Microsoft technology environment. This individual will bridge solution architecture and engineering execution, translating high-level designs into actionable development plans while coordinating multiple distributed engineering teams.

The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering expertise with the ability to make independent technical decisions, manage cross-team dependencies, and deliver scalable solutions under aggressive deadlines. This is a technical leadership role, not a traditional project management position.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate architectural designs and technical specifications into implementation plans, development priorities, and delivery milestones.

• Lead distributed engineering teams through development, integration, testing, and deployment.

• Make implementation-level decisions while ensuring alignment with architectural standards and business requirements.

• Coordinate dependencies, API contracts, and integration points across multiple teams and systems.

• Provide technical guidance on microservices, REST APIs, distributed systems, and event-driven architectures.

• Support asynchronous messaging and application development using Azure Service Bus and related .NET frameworks.

• Identify technical risks, resolve implementation challenges, and maintain delivery momentum across concurrent workstreams.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including strong hands-on C# and .NET development.

• Previous experience as a Technical Lead, Development Lead, Engineering Lead, or similar technical leadership role.

• Strong experience with .NET Core, Entity Framework Core, SQL Server, and Microsoft Azure.

• Knowledge of microservices, REST APIs, CQRS, and event-driven messaging.

• Experience translating architectural direction into implementation plans and coordinating interdependent engineering teams.

• Proven ability to lead distributed or offshore teams, troubleshoot complex technical issues, and deliver against demanding timelines.

• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and technical decision-making skills.

Preferred: Angular, MassTransit, domain-driven design (DDD), and enterprise modernization experience. Recent hands-on development experience within the past 2–3 years is highly desirable.

The successful candidate will be an accountable, technically credible leader who can independently drive implementation from architectural direction through production delivery.
