Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, review, test, deploy, and support backend services, APIs, integrations, and data‑processing workflows.
Own the technical health, reliability, scalability, maintainability, and code quality of EOS platforms, and lead root‑cause analysis for complex production issues.
Shape the technical direction of EOS and related software, data, automation, and AI capabilities by defining engineering standards, evaluating emerging technologies, evolving architecture, and translating strategic opportunities into pragmatic delivery roadmaps.
Develop and support SQL Server and MySQL databases, including schema changes, migrations, upgrades, and performance troubleshooting.
Own and improve CI/CD pipelines, Azure hosting and deployment models, automated testing, observability, and monitoring.
Lead technical workstreams: translate business requirements into solution designs, break initiatives into deliverable work packages, and manage risks and dependencies.

Participate in business‑development and pre‑sales activities, including effort estimates, technical assessments, and solution recommendations for new software opportunities and market initiatives.
Mentor and develop software engineers, raise engineering standards through design and code reviews, support hiring and onboarding, and help shape team structure and capability as the organization grows. The successful candidate will have opportunities to expand into broader technical leadership and potential people‑management responsibilities.
Develop a strong understanding of Rodan’s operational applications and workflows to identify modernization opportunities, improve integration and resilience, and provide informed technical leadership when critical cross‑platform issues arise.
Evaluate architectural options and provide recommendations balancing cost, risk, maintainability, scalability, delivery timing, and operational supportability.
Lead the practical adoption of AI‑enabled software engineering across design, development, testing, documentation, operations, and knowledge work. Evaluate and introduce AI‑assisted development tools, intelligent automation, and agentic workflows that improve quality and productivity while maintaining appropriate review, security, governance, and accountability. Identify opportunities to embed AI capabilities into internal platforms and customer‑facing energy solutions.
Promote adoption of Secure SDLC, change‑management practices, automated testing, and code‑quality tooling.
