Job Description:

As a Lead Engineer in Application Engineering, you will own the day-to-day technical leadership of a small application development scrum team focused on building new features and enhancing current capabilities within the Certent Equity Management (CEM) platform for a large, strategic enterprise client engagement. Reporting to the Sr Engineering Manager, you will split your time roughly equally between writing and reviewing code and leading your team — setting priorities, unblocking teammates, running scrum ceremonies, and holding the team accountable for high-quality delivery.

This is both an IC role and a Management role. The right candidate is a seasoned engineer who leads by doing — someone whose technical credibility earns the team's respect and whose organizational discipline keeps delivery on track. You will be the daily technical authority for your squad, and also responsible for their career development. You will partner closely with the Sr Engineering Manager on delivery planning and escalations, and interfacing with client stakeholders at key points in the delivery lifecycle.

You will bring an AI-first mindset — not just complying with organizational AI adoption targets, but genuinely integrating agentic development tooling into how you and your team work every day.

Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Delivery

  • Serve as the technical authority for your scrum team — making day-to-day engineering decisions, setting the bar for code quality, and ensuring the team delivers high-quality software on schedule.
  • Write, review, and contribute production-quality code across the full stack — C#/.NET, Angular, and Oracle — as an active, hands-on member of the team.
  • Lead sprint ceremonies as scrum master: planning, refinement, daily standups, demos, and retrospectives.
  • Set daily priorities for the team; actively unblock teammates by removing dependencies, clarifying requirements, and resolving technical ambiguity.
  • Hold the team accountable to engineering standards — unit testing, code review discipline, definition of done, and release readiness.

AI-First Engineering

  • Champion ≥50% AI-authored PR targets and ≥95% AI code review adoption as organizational minimums for your team.
  • Model an agentic development mindset — integrating AI tooling into your own daily workflow and actively coaching teammates to do the same.
  • Push the team beyond baseline AI adoption into workflows and practices that measurably improve delivery velocity and code quality.
  • Stay current on agentic development tooling and bring forward-looking recommendations to the Sr Engineering Manager.

Team Leadership & People Management

  • Directly manage four to five engineers — owning 1:1s, performance feedback, career development conversations, and day-to-day engagement.
  • Partner with the Sr Engineering Manager on hiring decisions, onboarding, and performance management for your team.
  • Identify and grow technical talent within your squad — coaching engineers on both technical skills and professional development.
  • Foster a collaborative, high-accountability team culture that takes quality seriously and supports each other's success.

Client Engagement & Requirements

  • Interface with client stakeholders at key points in the delivery lifecycle — requirements clarification, design reviews, demo feedback, and issue resolution.
  • Dig into root business problems rather than accepting requirements at face value; advocate for solutions that generalize across the CEM platform rather than one-off client-specific builds.
  • Partner with the Sr Engineering Manager and Product Management to ensure work is well-defined, properly scoped, and sequenced for delivery.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Coordinate with matrixed QA engineers to ensure test coverage, quality gates, and release readiness are met.
  • Collaborate with Principal Engineers, the Solution Architect, and peer Lead Engineers on cross-team technical decisions and standards.
  • Surface delivery risks, technical blockers, and scope concerns to the Sr Engineering Manager early and clearly.

Qualifications

Required

  • 8-10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience in enterprise SaaS environments, with demonstrated experience in a technical lead or lead engineer capacity.
  • Deep full-stack expertise in C#, .NET (Framework and/or Core), Angular, and Oracle — able to contribute meaningfully across the entire stack.
  • Strong proficiency in Domain-Driven Design (DDD) — hands-on experience with domain model layering across application, service, and data access tiers.
  • Experience with CQRS patterns for command/query separation in multi-service architectures.
  • Demonstrated AI-first engineering mindset — hands-on experience with agentic development tooling (GitHub Copilot, Devin.AI, or similar) and a track record of driving AI adoption within an engineering team.
  • Proven ability to lead a scrum team as both technical authority and delivery owner — setting priorities, running ceremonies, and holding teammates accountable.
  • Experience with direct people management responsibilities — performance feedback, career development, and team engagement for a small team of engineers.
  • Strong code review discipline and engineering quality standards — unit testing (xUnit/NUnit, Jasmine/Karma), CI/CD hygiene, definition-of-done rigor.
  • Experience with Angular 15+ including Reactive Forms, RxJS, Angular Material, and TypeScript.
  • Experience with Oracle databases including PL/SQL development — packages, procedures, views, and query optimization.
  • Experience with Entity Framework Core including Oracle EF Core provider.
  • 3+ years of experience with Azure cloud technologies and Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines.
  • Fluent communicator — able to engage credibly with client stakeholders and translate technical realities clearly to non-technical audiences.
  • Experience working in global, distributed teams across multiple time zones.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience.

Preferred

  • Familiarity with .NET modernization patterns — experience working across legacy ASP.NET Web API (.NET Framework) and modern ASP.NET Core services in parallel.
  • Experience with schema migration tooling such as Liquibase, including changeset management, rollbacks, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
  • Familiarity with observability and monitoring tooling — Serilog, Datadog APM, or Application Insights.
  • Experience with containerization tooling — Docker, Podman, or similar.
  • Experience with background job scheduling patterns (Hangfire or similar).
  • Experience working across multi-repo, multi-product platforms sharing a common database and internal NuGet package ecosystem.
  • Background in financial services, equity compensation, or adjacent regulated domains.
  • Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or equivalent Agile certification.
  • Experience mentoring mid-level engineers into senior or lead roles.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
