* Migration & Architecture: Leading the migration of the existing monolith application into a microservice-based architecture hosted on Azure, ensuring scalability, performance, and security are at the forefront.
* Collaboration: Working closely with other senior leaders and teams to execute the company’s four-year roadmap of greenfield projects, ensuring a smooth transition and continuous improvement.

* Experience Migrating Monolith to Microservices: You must have proven experience in migrating legacy applications to modern microservice architectures, ideally using .NET 8.
* SaaS Experience: Previous experience building or scaling SaaS products is essential.
* Leadership & Mentoring: You should have led a team of engineers before, providing mentorship, technical leadership, and fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
* Cross-Functional Team Leadership: Experience in leading and managing cross-functional teams, including software developers, business analysts, and QA engineers, is a must.
* Azure, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL: Strong knowledge of cloud platforms, particularly Azure, and experience with databases such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
