Job details:
As a Lead Engineer, you will play a key role in driving the technical strategy, development, and upkeep of Promotional Product’s core applications and system integrations. You’ll be responsible for crafting and enhancing software components - including programs, scripts, and data models - based on detailed design specifications that emphasize performance, reliability, and scalability.
This role requires deep expertise in system integration, testing, and technical documentation, with a strong focus on designing intuitive, customer-facing front-end applications throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

Assignments typically span short to mid-term duration and require independent decision-making, though work is reviewed at defined checkpoints. You’ll mentor junior engineers and operate within established development frameworks and standards.
Additionally, you’ll lead architectural planning and coordinate across distributed teams (onshore and offshore).
Success in this role requires hands-on experience with eCommerce platforms, Azure Cloud services, AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), and a solid grasp of data compliance and reporting requirements paired with strong leadership and communication skills.
