Software Development Lead

Tranzaura is a fast-growing provider of Fleet Management and Intelligence software, transforming how organisations manage vehicle compliance and operational efficiency. We are seeking a highly capable Software Development Lead who can operate across the full software delivery lifecycle — from user story to production — leveraging modern AI tooling to accelerate development, improve quality, and reduce time to value.

This is a hands-on leadership role. The successful candidate will not only guide the team but will actively contribute to design, development, and deployment using AI-assisted workflows. The ability to effectively utilise AI tools in day-to-day development is a must.

What You’ll Do:

End-to-End AI-Driven Delivery (Core Requirement)

• Own the full development lifecycle — from interpreting user stories through to production deployment.
• Leverage AI tools (e.g. code generation, copilots, automated testing, prompt-driven workflows) to accelerate delivery and improve engineering productivity.
• Translate business requirements into working, production-ready solutions with minimal friction.
• Continuously identify opportunities to optimise development workflows using AI.

Technical Leadership

• Design, build, and deploy scalable SaaS applications using C#, .NET, and Microsoft Azure.
• Lead by example through hands-on development across backend services and cloud infrastructure.
• Ensure high-quality, maintainable code (ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, Microservices).
• Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) for fast, reliable releases.
• Make key decisions on cloud architecture (Azure Functions, AKS, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL).
• Ensure best practices across security, performance, and scalability.

Team & Delivery Enablement

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to a remote team of developers.
• Drive a culture of rapid, iterative delivery using agile practices (Scrum/Kanban).
• Work closely with Product to refine user stories into deliverable technical outcomes.
• Remove blockers and ensure consistent, high-velocity delivery.
• Promote adoption of AI-assisted development practices across the team.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of hands-on C# .NET development (ASP.NET Core, Web API, Entity Framework).
• Proven experience delivering software end-to-end — from requirements to deployment.
• Demonstrated, practical use of AI tools in software development workflows (essential and non-negotiable).
• Strong expertise in Microsoft Azure (App Services, Functions, AKS, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB).
• Experience with microservices, event-driven architecture, and RESTful APIs.
• Strong experience with CI/CD, DevOps, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, ARM templates).
• Ability to operate both as an individual contributor and technical leader.
• Excellent communication skills for remote, cross-functional collaboration.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Blazor).
• Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless architectures.
• Background in fleet management, telematics, or IoT.
