About the Role

MegazoneCloud is seeking a Lead Software Engineer to provide technical direction for complex, multi-vendor cloud programs focused on modernizing legacy applications and manual processes into agentic, event-driven architectures on AWS. This hands-on leadership role involves owning the target-state architecture, ensuring code quality, making key design decisions, and building confidence with senior client stakeholders. You will shape and review code, write pattern-setting implementations, and communicate technical details to both engineers and executives.

Responsibilities

Own the target-state architecture for the program: event-driven and agentic designs built on Lambda, Step Functions, ECS Fargate, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, EventBridge, and Bedrock.
Make and defend service selection, integration pattern, and design tradeoff decisions, grounded in distributed systems fundamentals and the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
Set the engineering standards multiple teams deliver against — patterns, contracts, testing expectations, and the definition of done.
Stay hands-on where it counts: reference implementations, architecture spikes, and the hardest technical problems your teams surface.
Review code and technical artifacts — Python, Node.js/JavaScript, Terraform — with enough depth to give meaningful design-level feedback.
Contribute to and review REST and GraphQL API contracts, assessing consistency and completeness and identifying integration issues before development begins.
Critically review FRDs, BRDs, and functional specifications — surfacing gaps, ambiguities, and technically infeasible requirements early, and translating business requirements into precise platform deliverables.
Participate in architecture governance — ARB or equivalent — as the person who prepares the submission and answers for it.
Engage senior client stakeholders at VP level and above, face to face, as the technical voice of the program.
Translate between business and IT audiences at varying levels of seniority without losing precision in either direction.
Produce the written record the program runs on: architecture decision records, decision logs, design documentation, and status reporting that an executive can act on.
Coordinate technical delivery across multiple teams, partner vendors, offshore development groups, and specialist analytics firms.
Hold vendor output to the same technical bar as internal work, and escalate credibly when it falls short.
Run the program's technical cadence within an Agile delivery model — Scrum or Kanban — across teams that do not all report to the same place.

Requirements

8+ years of professional software or platform engineering experience, including demonstrated time as the senior technical lead on complex, multi-vendor cloud programs.
Solid hands-on knowledge of Step Functions, Lambda, ECS Fargate, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, EventBridge, and Bedrock.
Proven delivery modernizing legacy applications and processes into event-driven, and increasingly agentic, architectures.
Comfortable reading Python, Node.js/JavaScript, and Terraform well enough to provide design-level feedback and assess system architecture.
Able to contribute to and review REST or GraphQL contracts and catch integration problems before development starts.
Demonstrated ability to critically evaluate FRDs, BRDs, and functional specifications and convert them into platform deliverables engineers can execute against.
A track record engaging business and technical stakeholders at VP level and above in person, and holding the room.
Experience managing offshore development teams, specialist firms, or partner delivery relationships within a larger program.
Familiarity with solution architecture and design review processes, including contributing to an ARB or equivalent.
Strong written and verbal skills — clear documentation, decision logs, ADRs, and status reports that hold up under scrutiny.
Experience running or leading technical delivery across multi-team programs using Scrum or Kanban.
Experience in regulated environments — life sciences, clinical, healthcare, or financial services — including validated or GxP-adjacent systems.
Familiarity with scientific or statistical computing environments and the workflows around them: SAS, R, statistical programming pipelines, and analysis-ready data and reporting outputs.
Hands-on experience with GenAI and LLM application patterns — agentic workflows, retrieval, tool use, guardrails, and evaluation.
AWS certifications at Professional level (Solutions Architect – Professional or DevOps Engineer – Professional); Certified ScrumMaster.
Prior consulting or professional services experience on enterprise engagements.
Experience standing up a delivery capability, practice, or program from scratch.
