Tech Lead

The Role We're looking for a hands-on technical leader to guide engineering execution across our client engagements. In this role, you'll set technical direction, serve as the technical partner to clients, hold the line on code quality, and mentor the developers around you, all while bringing an AI-native mindset to how the team builds, reviews, and ships. This is a senior technical role for someone who wants to balance client partnership, leadership, and technical delivery.

You'll work closely with practice leadership and project teams, and you'll be looked to as the person who keeps delivery technically sound, on schedule, and built to last. If you care as much about how the code is built as what gets shipped, and you're already integrating AI tooling into your day-to-day workflow, we'd love to meet you.

What You'Ll Do

Lead Technical Delivery Guide engineering execution across client engagements, from architecture decisions through code review. Set technical direction for projects and hold teams accountable to it. Own delivery velocity and efficiency, keeping engagements technically sound and on schedule.

Help reduce technical escalations by catching issues early and building in the right checks. Champion AI-Augmented Development Integrate AI tooling, including Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code, into the team's delivery workflow as a core part of how work gets done. Continuously look for ways AI-assisted development can improve code quality, speed, and consistency across engagements.

Set the Standard for Code Quality Enforce coding standards and lead code review to ensure consistent, maintainable code across projects. Keep an eye on system performance and stability as engagements evolve and scale. Champion architecture and system design decisions that hold up over time.

Mentor and Develop the Team Actively mentor developers, supporting their growth and capability development. Build a culture where feedback, code review, and technical craft are taken seriously. Get involved early in solution scoping and estimation, helping shape engagements before they kick off.

What You Bring Experience & Background Solid experience leading technical delivery on enterprise-scale engagements. A track record of hands-on code review, architecture decisions, and mentoring developers. Comfort owning technical outcomes across multiple concurrent projects.

Technical Expertise Strong foundation in architecture and system design. Hands on experience with Wordpress, Drupal, and/or Sitecore. Working fluency with AI-assisted development tools such as Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code, and a genuine interest in pushing how they're used across a team.

An eye for code quality and maintainability, and the judgment to know when performance or stability tradeoffs matter. Leadership & Communication A natural mentor, someone developers want to learn from. Comfortable weighing in early on solution scoping and estimation, not just execution.

A collaborative approach that earns trust with both the team and the broader engagement. Candidates must currently live in the US and be legally authorized to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship now or in the future. Verification of work eligibility will be required upon hire.
