  • Define and govern solution architecture, integration patterns, and non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability) across the enterprise OutSystems portfolio.
  • Evaluate OutSystems Forge components, custom extensions, and vendor API integrations appropriate for financial services use cases.
• Team Leadership & Development:
  • Lead, mentor, and performance-manage a team of OutSystems developers (O11 and ODC) across multiple concurrent delivery streams.
  • Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations aligned to OutSystems competency frameworks and professional certification pathways.
  • Recruit and onboard OutSystems talent; assess OutSystems Associate, Professional Developer, and Architecture Specialist certifications during hiring.
  • Foster a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and continuous learning within the development team.
• Delivery & Product Roadmap Execution:
  • Work with Product Team(s) to define functional and non-functional requirements across the enterprise portfolio.
  • Identify and implement opportunities to continuously improve the Outsystems development capabilities and platform maturity.
• Stakeholder Engagement:
  • Work closely and communicate proactively with stakeholders at all levels of the organization, from business operations and product teams to technology leadership.
  • Translate business requirements from banking, risk, compliance, and product teams into OutSystems development workstreams and actionable delivery plans.
  • Serve as primary escalation point for delivery risks, and resourcing constraints.
  • Enforce secure development practices across ODC and O11 environments.
