Lead & Technical Delivery Manager

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Oversight & Architecture: Provide high-level technical direction across diverse project tracks — including UI/UX workflow modernizations (.NET/Blazor/Angular), backend API engineering, and low-level peripheral/hardware service integrations.
• Client Engagement & Relationship Management: Serve as the core technical point of contact and account manager for key client leaders, engineering managers, and product owners, aligning strategic roadmaps with daily execution goals.
• Cross-Project Resource Leadership: Direct, mentor, and manage allocation for cross-functional engineering pods (Senior/Mid Developers, QA Engineers, and Specialists), facilitating high team velocity and technical excellence.
• Delivery & Release Management: Oversee end-to-end sprint execution, technical risk mitigation, architectural alignment, and production release readiness across multi-stack systems.
• Process Modernization & Best Practices: Drive team adoption of modern development standards, rigorous code reviews, automated testing, continuous integration (CI/CD), and modern AI-driven development workflows.
• Strategic Growth & Scaling: Help scope and architect upcoming project initiatives beyond existing engagements, identifying technical bottlenecks and helping build high-performing engineering structures.

Required Qualifications & Technical Skills

• Experience: 8+ years of progressive software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in a Lead, Delivery Manager, or Technical Lead capacity overseeing multi-resource teams.
• Full-Stack & Backend Mastery: Strong technical background in the.NET ecosystem (.NET Core /.NET 8, C#), ASP.NET Web API, modern front-end frameworks (Angular, Blazor, or React), and SQL Server database architectures.
• System & Integration Experience: Proven capability overseeing projects that span web applications, APIs, legacy system modernizations, and/or low-level hardware/peripheral integrations.
• Engineering Operations: Deep familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies, sprint planning, capacity forecasting, and tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, and Git workflows.
• Client & Stakeholder Management: Track record of driving technical consensus with non-technical and technical stakeholders alike in fast-paced client-facing environments.

Core Competencies & Cultural Fit

• Strategic & Hands-On Leader: Able to operate at a 30,000-foot strategic level while remaining technical enough to dive into code reviews, database queries, or deployment architectures to unblock teams.
• Exceptional Communicator: Demonstrates clear, concise, and persuasive written/verbal communication for executive updates, technical documentation, and daily team alignment.
• Problem Solver & Risk Manager: Proactively identifies delivery risks, scope creep, and technical blockers before they impact release schedules.
• Mentor & Coach: Passionate about elevating team members, fostering accountability, and building a collaborative, high-trust engineering culture.

Preferred / "Nice-to-Have" Qualifications

• Experience managing engineering deliveries in regulated or compliance-heavy environments (e.g., PCI-DSS, public sector, or transaction systems).
• Exposure to cloud-native transformations and architecture planning on Microsoft Azure.
• AI & LLM Innovation: Practical understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and vector databases, with the ability to identify opportunities for AI integration into enterprise workflows.
• AI-Native Engineering Champion: Experience driving team productivity using modern AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to streamline development, documentation, and code reviews.
