Role Overview

As a Lead Software Engineer, Platform Services (Back-end Focus) you will serve as a senior technical leader and hands-on individual contributor within the (UIUX)Front-End organisation, with a strong emphasis on back-end services, common platform capabilities, API design, and cloud-native delivery.

This role will spend much of its time designing and implementing back-end services, microservices, and platform capabilities, while collaborating across the full application stack when needed. The primary focus is on designing and building scalable services, APIs, deployment architectures, integration frameworks, and shared platform capabilities that support multiple Protegrity products. While familiarity with modern front-end technologies is valuable, this is not a UI-specialist role.

You will own and evolve shared platform services, APIs, distributed systems, and integration capabilities that enable product interoperability, common platform functionality, cloud-native deployment patterns, and future platform scalability across Protegrity's product portfolio. In addition, working with UIUX Engineers, Architects, DevOps, QA, Product Management, and cross-functional engineering teams.

Success in this role requires strong technical ownership, practical architecture judgment, clean production-grade code, and systems that are reliable, testable, scalable, and maintainable. You should be comfortable working across the full software development lifecycle, from architecture and implementation through testing, deployment, observability, and operational support. While this role partners closely with DevOps its primary focus remains software engineering, platform services, and scalable application architecture.

What You'll Do

- Design and implement microservices that support Protegrity's next-generation UI Shell Platform architecture, ensuring services are secure, scalable, reusable, and aligned to long-term platform strategy.
