Job Description

About the Role

The Technical Team Lead is an experienced technical leader responsible for leading engineering teams, driving technical initiatives, and ensuring the successful design and delivery of scalable, reliable, and high-performing software solutions.

This role combines strong hands-on technical expertise with technical leadership, team development, and delivery ownership. The successful candidate will provide direction and guidance across the software development lifecycle, establish engineering standards, and work closely with Architecture, Product, and DevOps to deliver solutions aligned with business and platform objectives.

The ideal candidate is someone who can lead from the front, make sound technical decisions, mentor and develop engineers, and balance technical excellence with delivery outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate engineering teams, providing technical direction, guidance, and accountability for successful delivery.
• Own complex technical initiatives from solution design and planning through implementation, release, and ongoing operational support.
• Provide technical leadership across the software development lifecycle, ensuring engineering solutions are scalable, secure, reliable, and maintainable.
• Guide the design, development, and maintenance of software solutions using technologies such as C#, .NET Framework, SQL Server, React, jQuery, DocumentDB (MongoDB), Azure, and related integration platforms.
• Lead technical solutioning across RESTful APIs, GraphQL, modular monoliths, microservices, and event- or integration-driven architectures.
• Partner closely with Architecture, Product, and DevOps to align technical decisions with platform strategy, business requirements, and delivery objectives.
• Establish and promote engineering standards, best practices, and development methodologies, including domain-driven design (DDD), test-driven development (TDD), vertical slice architecture (VSA), and clean modular design.
• Provide technical oversight through solution reviews, code reviews, design discussions, estimation, and hands-on problem solving.
• Mentor, coach, and develop engineers, supporting technical growth, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement across the team.
• Drive improvements in engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, observability, release quality, and operational readiness using Azure DevOps and related tooling.
• Identify and address technical debt, system bottlenecks, performance issues, reliability concerns, and architectural risks.
• Promote the effective use of AI-enabled development tools such as Codex, Claude Code, and similar technologies to improve engineering productivity and delivery outcomes.
• Manage technical dependencies, identify delivery risks, and work collaboratively with stakeholders to maintain delivery momentum and quality.
• Foster a culture of engineering ownership, collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Technical Lead, Engineering Lead, or Senior Software Engineer with demonstrated responsibility for leading engineering teams and complex technical initiatives.
• Strong hands-on experience with C#, .NET Framework, SQL Server, React, and modern application development practices.
• Experience leading the design and delivery of RESTful APIs and scalable distributed or modular systems.
• Demonstrated ability to provide technical direction, lead solution design, and make sound architectural decisions.
• Experience mentoring, coaching, and developing software engineers, conducting code reviews, and establishing engineering standards.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Azure DevOps, automated testing, software quality practices, and reliable production delivery.
• Familiarity with VSA, DDD, TDD, modular monolith architecture, microservices, and related engineering approaches is strongly preferred.
• Experience collaborating with Architecture, Product, and DevOps teams to deliver complex technical solutions.
• Experience using Codex, Claude Code, or other AI tooling within the software development lifecycle is strongly preferred, along with the ability to effectively leverage AI as a development tool.
• Exposure to AI and processing technologies within product experiences is a plus.
• Exposure to and familiarity with the legaltech industry is a plus.
• Strong communication, collaboration, problem-solving, stakeholder management, and technical leadership skills.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
