Important: Candidates must be willing to travel for initial onboarding.

About the Role: We are seeking a Hands-on Software Technical Lead to take end-to-end ownership of software initiatives, driving projects directly from initial business concepts to fully functional, high-value production solutions.

Troubleshoot complex technical, production, performance, and scalability issues directly with developers to identify root causes. Step directly into hands-on technical work, prototyping, or code reviews whenever critical situations require direct involvement. Serve as the central communication link aligning developers, Business Analysts, Product Owners, Cloud/Infrastructure teams, QA, and business leadership. Maintain direct accountability for project outcomes and value creation, rather than simply enforcing process execution or tracking tickets.

Required Qualifications: Strong experience with C# and .NET / .NET Core. Strong knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server. Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and OOP.Proven experience taking a project from an initial business concept all the way to a working, value-generating solution. Deep foundational background in software engineering, system architecture, database/API design, and cloud applications. Recent (~3 years) experience leading engineering teams, coordinating project delivery, and taking full ownership of team outcomes. Strong career progression such as Software Engineer / Architect / Principal Engineer transitioning into a hands-on technical leadership role.
