Lead Full Stack Software Engineer II

The Lead Architect is responsible for driving solution architecture, technology strategy, and design governance for.NET full stack-based enterprise applications and data platforms on Azure.

This role focuses on architectural leadership and technical guidance, ensuring that solutions built across front-end, back-end, integration, and data layers are scalable, secure, and aligned with enterprise standards and business objectives.

The Role Emphasizes

Architectural decision-making and full stack design oversightTechnology evaluation across .NET and Azure ecosystemsTechnical leadership across engineering teams

Hands-on involvement is primarily for proof of concepts, architecture validation, prototyping, and resolving complex technical challenges.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Solution DesignLead the design and review of end-to-end architecture for .NET full stack solutions, including UI, APIs, integration layers, and data platformsDefine high-level architecture (HLDs), solution blueprints, and design patterns aligned to microservices and API-first principlesEstablish architecture standards for front-end (Angular/React) and back-end (.NET Core, APIs) layersEnsure alignment to enterprise architecture principles, domain roadmaps, and cloud-native design strategiesDrive key architecture considerations around scalability, performance, security, and resilience Technical Leadership & GovernanceProvide technical leadership across full stack engineering teams, guiding front-end, API, and backend design decisionsConduct architecture and design reviews to ensure consistency, quality, and adherence to standardsPromote reusable full stack patterns, API design standards, and microservices best practicesContribute to architecture governance forums and planning cycles (PI, design reviews, etc.) Technology Evaluation & AdvisoryEvaluate and recommend technologies across the.NET ecosystem, Azure services, and integration frameworksDrive decisions on front-end frameworks (Angular/React), API strategy, and backend architecture (.NET Core/microservices)Assess trade-offs across performance, scalability, maintainability, and costStay current with emerging trends in cloud-native development, full stack architecture, and integration patterns Engineering Oversight (Full Stack Advisory)Guide teams on:Full stack design patterns (UI + API + backend integration)Microservices and API-first architecture (REST, event-driven design)Azure cloud-native architectures (AKS, serverless, messaging/integration patterns)Data integration and analytics enablement (Databricks ecosystem)Provide design clarifications and technical direction during delivery phasesParticipate in targeted hands-on contributions (POCs, troubleshooting, architecture validation) Stakeholder CollaborationPartner with product owners and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into full stack architecture solutionsCommunicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, and technology strategy to both technical and business audiencesEnsure alignment between business priorities, engineering delivery, and architecture direction Risk Management & Continuous ImprovementIdentify and mitigate architecture and technology risks across full stack implementationsDrive improvements in engineering practices, architecture maturity, and design standardsSupport PI planning, solution demos, and inspect & adapt cycles

Skills & Competencies

Core (Must Have)

Strong experience in solution architecture / technical leadership rolesDeep understanding of.NET full stack architecture (C#, ASP.NET Core, APIs, front-end integration)Expertise in application design, system integration, and microservices architectureStrong knowledge of Azure cloud services and cloud-native patternsProven ability to guide full stack teams and influence architecture decisionsStrong communication and stakeholder management capabilities

Supporting (Nice to Have)

Experience with:Front-end frameworks (Angular / React)Azure services (AKS, Functions, API Management, Service Bus)Data platforms (Azure Databricks, Spark, Data Lakes)DevSecOps and CI/CD practicesHands-on experience is beneficial but not required across all layers

Certifications (Preferred)
