Job Description


The Engineering Team Lead will direct a distributed software development team executing a portfolio of

50+ concurrent projects across multiple operating companies, including manufacturing, staffing and

delivery plan, managing developers across application and integration disciplines, maintaining

engineering standards, and serving as the senior technical partner to operating-company leaders. The

ideal candidate has proven experience leading remote development teams, strong program and project

management discipline, and deep technical fluency across modern web, enterprise, and data platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership & Development

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a distributed team of application and integration developers across

multiple time zones.

  • Set and maintain engineering standards covering code review, branching, testing, release

cadence, and incident response.

  • Conduct regular one-on-ones, performance reviews, and career development planning for each

direct report.

  • Identify gaps on the team and drive recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding of new developers

Project &Portfolio Management

  • Own a live backlog of 50+ projects across multiple operating companies and prioritize,

sequence, and scope work with ruthless clarity.

  • Translate operator and executive requirements into shippable project scope, milestones, and

delivery plans.

  • Run a transparent weekly delivery cadence with clear status, risks, and next steps visible to

leadership.

  • Make tradeoff calls on cost, speed, and quality across competing business priorities

Technical Delivery & Architecture

  • Review and approve architecture and major technical decisions across all active projects
  • Stay hands-on enough to read any pull request, unblock any developer, and contribute code

during crunch or new-domain discovery.

  • Own the engineering posture around AI-augmented development tools, automation platforms,

and modern build patterns.

  • Ensure security, performance, and reliability standards are met across the portfolio

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for operating-company leaders across

manufacturing, staffing, import/export, family office, and real estate.

  • Partner with business stakeholders to shape roadmaps, set expectations, and communicate

delivery progress.

  • Coordinate with external vendors, consultants, and enterprise platform partners as needed
  • Train and enable business users on new applications, tools, and workflows

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or related

field (or equivalent experience).

  • 10+ years of professional software development experience
  • 4+ years leading distributed software development teams of five or more developers
  • Demonstrated ownership of a multi-product or multi-domain engineering portfolio
  • Strong technical depth across modern web (React, TypeScript, Tailwind) and backend (Node.js,

PostgreSQL, Supabase or equivalent).

  • Working knowledge of at least one major enterprise platform (NetSuite – preferred, Salesforce,

SAP, Dynamics, Bullhorn, or equivalent).

  • Experience running async-first teams with strong written documentation standards
  • Hands-on familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot)
  • Proven project and program management discipline, including backlog management,

estimation, and stakeholder communication.

  • Experience with automation platforms (n8n, Workato, Zapier, Make) is preferred
  • Prior experience in manufacturing, staffing, financial services, or multi-entity holding company

environments is a plus.

Work Environment + Language Requirements

  • Global remote position
  • Requires at least 4 hours of overlap with U.S. Central Time each day
  • Minimal travel, with occasional U.S. travel for leadership offsites
  • Fluency in the English language; written and verbal proficiency (B2 level minimum on CEFR

scale)

  • Reports directly to the Owner / CEO

This is a remote opportunity.
