Key responsibilities

  • Lead the local team’s technical direction – own architecture decisions for features and modules assigned to the region, with alignment to the broader distributed team.
  • Drive delivery end-to-end: from requirement clarification through design, implementation, code review, and release.
  • Mentor junior members within team.
  • Conduct code reviews that raise quality and transfer knowledge, not just catch bugs.
  • Identify and manage technical risk – legacy code, test gaps, performance bottlenecks, integration fragility – and communicate trade-offs clearly to stakeholders.
  • Contribute to the roadmap for UI modernisation: evaluate candidate technologies (e.g., web-based frontends, Electron shells, or JavaFX migration), prototype where appropriate, and make a case for or against approaches with evidence.
  • Build a shared understanding of the system across regions – document non-obvious behaviour, own the onboarding experience for future regional engineers\n- Coordinate releases and CI/CD pipeline improvements; own quality gates for regionally developed features.
  • Write and maintain unit and integration tests using JUnit, Jmockit, and AssertJ Swing; maintain coverage standards as the codebase evolves.
  • Collaborate asynchronously with the remote team, picking up and resolving tickets independently while escalating blockers early.
  • Gradually become a regional point of contact – capable of onboarding future hires and explaining system behavior without always needing the remote team.
