As a Senior Lead Software Engineer, you will be responsible for:

•    Defining and driving the North Star architecture of One UT Software Platform for USPAR (parameter models, configuration services, reporting pipeline, API gateways), ensuring performance, reliability, and security for UT inspection data.
•    Leading the decomposition of legacy or monolithic components into cloud ready microservices with RESTful APIs, event streaming, and asynchronous workflows where appropriate.
•    Establishing CI/CD standards, infrastructure automation, and guardrails that accelerate safe delivery (pipeline policies, quality gates, automated tests, environment promotion).
•    Guiding design decisions for data models and storage (transactional, time series, and object stores) supporting high volume UT acquisitions and reporting use cases.
•    Codifying the architecture principles for scalability resilience and secure-by-default services; publish reference implementation and golden paths for teams building the software platform modules.
•    Selecting fit for purpose technologies (APIs, messaging, caches) and define SLOs/SLIs and error budgets with end to end observability to reduce MTTR.
•    Partnering with security on IAM, secrets management, and policy as code; ensure compliance with relevant NDT/UT practices and internal quality systems.
•    Mentoring junior engineers and collaborate with product, DevOps, QA, and instrument teams to ensure seamless hardware–software integration, high usability, and serviceability in the field.
•    Leading design and code reviews; coach teams on domain driven design, API contracts, event choreography, and fault tolerant patterns.
•    Translating USPAR architecture into roadmaps, risks, and measurable outcomes; communicate progress with clarity to leadership and cross functional stakeholders.

Fuel your passion

To be successful in this role you will:

•    Have a Bachelor's / Master's degree in computer science or related field from an accredited university or college.
•    15–18 years of professional software engineering experience, including significant time designing and delivering microservices platforms, secure APIs, and cloud native / embedded systems at scale.
•    Demonstrated leadership in modernizing systems, introducing event driven architectures, and institutionalizing CI/CD and IaC practices.
•    Have proficiency in Languages/Frameworks: Strong backend engineering with C#/.NET (working knowledge required) and experience in one or more: Python, C++ for performance critical modules.
•    Have Architecture experience: Microservices, JSON RPC, gRPC APIs, API, DDD, and asynchronous/event driven workflows.
•    Have experience in Messaging & Caching: RabbitMQ, Redis; Light weight Queue; designing idempotent, resilient processing for high throughput data.
•    Have experience in Security: IAM (e.g., Cognito/Keycloak), secrets management, and secure coding practices integrated into CI/CD.
•    Domain: Familiarity with NDT/UT workflows, electronics parameter configuration, and inspection data reporting; ability to collaborate with UT domain experts on signal/data considerations.
