As a Development Practice Lead, you will be responsible for establishing and enforcing best coding practices, improving tooling, mentoring developers, and ensuring architectural consistency across all development teams. This role requires hands-on expertise in Java, SQL Server, and a strong understanding of Azure DevOps, Git, Agile, and Scrum methodologies. You will collaborate closely with architects, engineering managers, and developers to drive technical excellence across the product. This is not a people manager role.

2. Hands-On Development & PoCs

  • Stay hands-on by contributing to development, especially in complex technical challenges.
  • Develop proof-of-concepts (PoCs) for evaluating new frameworks, libraries, and tools.
  • Provide guidance on performance tuning, security best practices, and scalability improvements.

3. Mentorship & Upskilling

  • Conduct technical training sessions, workshops, and knowledge-sharing sessions for developers.
  • Mentor Tech Leads, Senior Engineers, and Mid-Level Developers, fostering a culture of learning.
  • Advocate TDD, BDD, clean code principles, and modern design patterns.
  • Work closely with Architects to ensure alignment with system-wide technical decisions.
  • Collaborate with QA Practice Lead to improve development-testing synergy.
  • Align with Product Owners & Scrum Masters to ensure engineering priorities support business objectives.

5. Process & Tooling Improvements

  • Optimize CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps to improve development efficiency.
  • Define and enforce branching strategies and Git workflows for better version control.
  • Evaluate and introduce tools that enhance developer productivity, monitoring, and security.
  • Help teams resolve technical roadblocks while ensuring Agile principles are followed.

Qualifications & Skills

Must-Have:

  • 12+ years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on Java.
  • Deep expertise in SQL Server, Hibernate, JPA, and multi-threaded application development.
  • Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of microservices architecture, REST APIs, and event-driven design.
  • Experience in leading technical teams and defining development best practices.
  • Knowledge of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and experience working in Agile teams.
  • Exposure to front-end technologies (Angular, React)

Nice-to-Have:
