Job Purpose *
The Senior Technical Lead is responsible for leading the design, development, and delivery of scalable, high-quality digital channel solutions. This role bridges architecture and implementation by translating solution designs into actionable technical deliverables, guiding development teams, and ensuring adherence to engineering best practices.
With a strong background in software development, the Senior Technical Lead actively contributes to coding, code reviews, and technical problem-solving, while mentoring team members and driving technical excellence. The role collaborates closely with Solution Architects, business stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure that solutions are aligned with architectural standards, business requirements, and enterprise technology strategies.
The Senior Technical Lead plays a key role in building and operating cloud-ready microservices using technologies such as Spring Boot, Kafka, and Kubernetes. The individual is also responsible for ensuring system reliability, performance, and maintainability, while supporting continuous improvement in development processes and delivery practices.
In addition, the role requires strong coordination across multiple teams to deliver integrated solutions, support production readiness, and drive successful implementation of Next Generation BizChannel initiatives.
Key Responsibilities *
• Lead end-to-end technical delivery of digital solutions, ensuring full alignment with approved Solution Architecture, enterprise standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Provide technical leadership and oversight across design, development, and implementation, ensuring solutions meet defined functional and non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, security, scalability, resilience).
• Ensure adherence to SDLC, IT governance, and compliance frameworks, including Information Security, Data Protection, and Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity requirements.
• Review and validate detailed technical designs and code deliverables to ensure consistency with architecture principles, design patterns, and enterprise standards.
• Collaborate closely with Architecture, Infrastructure, Risk, and Business teams to clarify requirements, assess impacts, and ensure solution feasibility and compliance.
• Drive DevOps and automation practices, ensuring robust CI/CD pipelines, controlled deployments, and traceability across environments.
• Oversee and govern end-to-end testing cycles, including SIT, UAT, Performance Testing, and VAPT, ensuring all high and critical defects are addressed prior to production deployment.
• Ensure production readiness and operational stability, including capacity planning, monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident management processes.
• Provide regular and structured reporting on delivery progress, risks, issues, and mitigation plans to stakeholders, including senior management.
• Mentor and guide development teams, fostering strong engineering discipline, secure coding practices, and continuous improvement aligned with enterprise standards.
