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 oversight
• Technology evaluation across .NET and Azure ecosystems
• Technical 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 Design
• Lead the design and review of end-to-end architecture for .NET full stack solutions, including UI, APIs, integration layers, and data platforms
• Define high-level architecture (HLDs), solution blueprints, and design patterns aligned to microservices and API-first principles
• Establish architecture standards for front-end (Angular/React) and back-end (.NET Core, APIs) layers
• Ensure alignment to enterprise architecture principles, domain roadmaps, and cloud-native design strategies
• Drive key architecture considerations around scalability, performance, security, and resilience
• Technical Leadership & Governance
• Provide technical leadership across full stack engineering teams, guiding front-end, API, and backend design decisions
• Conduct architecture and design reviews to ensure consistency, quality, and adherence to standards
• Promote reusable full stack patterns, API design standards, and microservices best practices
• Contribute to architecture governance forums and planning cycles (PI, design reviews, etc.)
• Technology Evaluation & Advisory
• Evaluate and recommend technologies across the.NET ecosystem, Azure services, and integration frameworks
• Drive decisions on front-end frameworks (Angular/React), API strategy, and backend architecture (.NET Core/microservices)
• Assess trade-offs across performance, scalability, maintainability, and cost
• Stay 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 phases
• Participate in targeted hands-on contributions (POCs, troubleshooting, architecture validation)
• Stakeholder Collaboration
• Partner with product owners and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into full stack architecture solutions
• Communicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, and technology strategy to both technical and business audiences
• Ensure alignment between business priorities, engineering delivery, and architecture direction
• Risk Management & Continuous Improvement
• Identify and mitigate architecture and technology risks across full stack implementations
• Drive improvements in engineering practices, architecture maturity, and design standards
• Support PI planning, solution demos, and inspect & adapt cycles
  

Skills & Competencies

Core (Must Have)

• Strong experience in solution architecture / technical leadership roles
• Deep understanding of.NET full stack architecture (C#, ASP.NET Core, APIs, front-end integration)
• Expertise in application design, system integration, and microservices architecture
• Strong knowledge of Azure cloud services and cloud-native patterns
• Proven ability to guide full stack teams and influence architecture decisions
• Strong 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 practices
• Hands-on experience is beneficial but not required across all layers
  

Certifications (Preferred)

• Azure Solutions Architect
• Azure Data Engineer
