About the Role:

insightsoftware is looking for a technically sharp, people-first Engineering Lead to lead our Financial Reporting team - a squad at the center of our most complex and high-stakes enterprise workloads.

This is not a process-management role. We want a hands-on technical leader who codes when it counts, drives architecture decisions with conviction, and knows how to get the best out of engineers in an AI-accelerated development environment.

Responsibilities:

- Own end-to-end delivery of Reporting and BI features: from technical design through sprint execution to production - with full accountability for quality and timelines

- Drive architectural decisions for scalable, high-performance dashboards using Oracle, BI Tools, Azure and .NET/C# - creating PoCs, reviewing PRs, and actively contributing code where it matters

- Champion AI-first development practices across the team - mandating and coaching effective use of GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or equivalent AI coding tools as a standard part of the engineering workflow

- Shape the technical roadmap in partnership with Product - ensuring long-term architectural health is never traded away for short-term velocity

- Run high-quality 1:1s, performance reviews, and growth conversations that move the needle on individual development and team retention

- Enforce engineering standards: code quality gates, branch policies, code freeze discipline, and release management protocols

- Lead code reviews and architecture discussions as a teacher and a critic - raising the technical floor of every engineer on the team

- Translate complex data reporting requirements into clean, maintainable, production-ready software

- Partner with cross-functional teams - Product, QA, DevOps, and Customer Success - to deliver releases that enterprise clients can depend on

Qualifications :

- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent demonstrated engineering depth

- 10+ years of hands-on experience in designing and developing enterprise SaaS applications on the backend with deep understanding of Databases

- 2+ years of engineering team management with a proven record of growing senior engineers and retaining high performers

- Architect/Principal engineer level deep expertise in relational databases - Oracle PL/SQL - complex query optimization, stored procedures, performance tuning, and large-scale data handling

- Very strong command of SQL and data modelling

- Experience in Reporting/BI on Development side (Power BI, Tableau, Qlik etc.)

- Demonstrated, day-to-day use of AI developer tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) with the ability to coach teams on maximizing their impact

- Experience in building and consuming RESTful APIs using .Net/C# in distributed, enterprise-scale systems

- Solid grounding in Agile/Scrum delivery - sprint discipline, backlog ownership, and release management rigor

- Strong proficiency with Git, branching strategies, and CI/CD practices

- Experience in financial domain applications - FinTech or equity management - is a significant plus

- Experience with Azure Cloud will be a plus

- Exceptional written and verbal communication
