ABOUT THIS ROLE

As a Software Lead in Core Ria Systems, you will set the technical direction for the backend services, integrations, and full-stack components that power Ria's global financial ecosystem. You will lead a small team of engineers through the full software development lifecycle — owning design decisions, driving engineering quality, and mentoring others — while remaining hands‑on in the codebase. You will be accountable for ensuring our high‑volume systems remain scalable, resilient, and aligned with the needs of our customers and business stakeholders.

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Technical Leadership

• Maintain and enhance web or Windows applications used by global operations teams.
• Interpret business requirements and create clear functional specifications and test data.
• Collaborate with project stakeholders to build intuitive, responsive interfaces.
• Conduct peer reviews, contribute to design discussions, and support best development practices across the team.
• Troubleshoot production issues and drive continuous improvement of performance, observability, and reliability.

• Strong experience with relational databases, including stored procedures, ETL processes, optimization, and schema design.
• Demonstrated ability to own an end‑to‑end technical design and defend it in cross‑functional review.
• Understanding of cloud‑native application concepts, such as distributed systems, message‑based architectures, and scalable service design.
• Experience working with modern CI/CD practices for automated builds, testing, and deployments.
• Ability to lead and collaborate effectively in Agile teams and adapt to evolving technical needs.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem‑solving skills.
