We’re seeking an experienced and hands-on Software Development Team Lead to guide and support a team of engineers working on our core application. This individual will play a key role in ensuring the successful delivery of sprints and releases, maintaining code quality, and leading technical initiatives. Including a strategic modernization effort to move our application toward AWS cloud-native architecture.

Responsibilities:

• Technical Ownership & Leadership
  • Lead the technical direction of the application, ensuring stability, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Work alongside leadership to shape the future of the solution, providing hands-on technical leadership.
  • Take full accountability for the application’s health, including quickly resolving any production issues.
• Team Leadership & Collaboration
  • Manage a team of 3 developers, providing mentorship, guidance, and support to help them grow.
  • Actively participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and task assignments—while empowering your team to take ownership of their work.
  • Encourage collaboration and foster an environment where ideas and solutions flow freely.
• Coding & Code Quality
  • Be deeply involved in hands-on coding, driving the technical direction by writing and reviewing code.
  • Lead the team in maintaining high standards for code quality, using pull requests to ensure consistency and best practices.
  • Review and mentor the team on coding practices, helping them level up their technical skills.
• Production Support & Problem-Solving
  • Be the first point of contact for production issues. You’ll dive in to investigate, diagnose, and lead the resolution of critical problems.
  • While you’ll delegate to the team when appropriate, you’ll be hands-on with most issues and lead troubleshooting efforts.
• Continuous Improvement
  • Actively clean up and improve the system as you go. While a full system overhaul isn’t the immediate focus, you’ll proactively address technical debt and make improvements where needed.

Desired Technical Skills & Experience:

• Proficient in C#, Vue.js, and SQL Server.
• Experience working with legacy applications, and the ability to maintain and enhance them over time.
• AWS or other cloud experience is a plus, but not required.
• Strong familiarity with code review processes, including the use of pull requests to ensure high-quality code.
• Proven experience in problem-solving and troubleshooting production issues quickly and efficiently.

Desired Professional Skills and Experience:

• Hands-On Problem Solver: You’re comfortable getting into the weeds and solving issues head-on, driving solutions to completion.
• Motivated & Accountable: You take pride in owning the system and are committed to making it better every day.
• Collaborative: While you lead, you believe in teamwork and value open communication with your peers.
• Self-Starter: You’re comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in an environment where you have autonomy to shape the direction.
