As a technical leader, you will guide cross-functional teams in building scalable services, APIs, and analytical capabilities that power our platform, leveraging technologies like Databricks and cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure. You will collaborate closely with your immediate team and partner with other development teams across programs to align on shared goals, define cross-cutting initiatives, and deliver cohesive, enterprise-grade solutions. You will also mentor engineers, work across global timezones, and champion engineering excellence through best practices in software development, observability, and continuous delivery.

• Define and drive technical strategy for modernization initiatives, including evolution of legacy systems toward scalable, cloud-native, API-driven, and service-oriented architectures.
  
• Lead system design across multiple levels of detail, including platform architecture, high-level design, detailed technical design, integration patterns, non-functional requirements, and implementation approach.
  
• Serve as a hands-on technical contributor, designing, coding, testing, debugging, and delivering production-quality software across the full
  

engineering lifecycle.

• Build and evolve scalable services, APIs, data pipelines, and analytical capabilities using modern engineering practices, cloud platforms, and data technologies such as AWS, Azure, Databricks, Spark/PySpark, and related frameworks.
  
• Partner closely with product managers, engineering teams, architects, data scientists, QA, security, and operations teams to translate business and functional requirements into robust technical solutions.
  
• Coordinate and lead technical execution across globally distributed engineering teams, ensuring alignment across regions, time zones, dependencies, design decisions, and delivery milestones.
  
• Drive architecture and design reviews, code reviews, technical decision-making, and engineering tradeoff discussions to ensure solutions are secure, resilient, observable, performant, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise standards.
  
• Identify opportunities to improve platform scalability, reliability, developer productivity, operational readiness, and speed of delivery through modernization, automation, reusable patterns, and engineering best practices.
  
• Provide technical mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers through design guidance, code review, pairing, knowledge sharing, and modelling strong engineering judgment.
  
• Navigate ambiguity in complex initiatives by clarifying technical direction, decomposing large problems, identifying risks, and driving alignment across stakeholders.
  
• Mastercard Confluence ExportChampion a culture of engineering excellence, continuous improvement, ownership, collaboration, and high-quality delivery across the team and partner organizations.
