• You are much more than a Lead Engineer at Zafin: you are driving change, have a contemporary view on our way of working and architectural patterns. You are a mentor, and a coach, helping to drive simplicity in every aspect of our application architectures
• Being one of our Lead Engineers, we expect you to be a guiding light for others to oversee their work, create your own vision and initiate improvements
• Every day you contribute to designing, extending and improving the Zafin Product and Pricing platform, and inspire others to think outside the box and do the same by leading through example
• You are the owner of the components you’ll be working on, dedicating yourself to making the product more performant, providing direction to the team in a technical capacity, be a sober second thought when called upon, and improve the developer experience for other developers in and outside Zafin
• What kind of teams would you work with:
• With and within one or multiple development squads in the Product Engineering group
• You will interact with other squads, developers in the quick response groups (QRF), developers and members of the platform architecture group
• You will also challenge recommended capabilities and assess feasibility with the Product Management groups and/or customer-facing team members in the Solution Engineering groups
