Technical Lead who will lead the design and development of enterprise software solutions. You'll combine hands-on engineering with leadership, guiding architecture decisions, mentoring teams, and building solutions.
Responsibilities- Technical Leadership & Architecture
- Lead architecture, design, development, testing, and deployment of enterprise software solutions (applications, data, integration, AI agents, AI models)
>- Translate fuzzy, ambiguous business problems into concrete, well-scoped technical solutions that teams can execute against
>- Participate in strategy and roadmap discussions, architecture definition, and technology evaluations
>- Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical guidance
>- Quickly evaluate and adopt new tools, technologies, and platforms to build prototypes and proofs-of-concept
>- Drive adoption of the use of AI in the software development life-cycle with engineering teams, product leaders, and domain experts to deliver results
>
- Software Engineering
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable, production-grade enterprise applications using modern languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, Java, C#, JavaScript)
>- Define and enforce coding standards, best practices, and design patterns across the team
>- Build a strong testing culture, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, and design systems for testability from the outset
>- Establish and evolve automated testing strategies and quality gates within CI/CD pipelines
>- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-deployed services (AWS, Azure)
>- Integrate enterprise systems using common approaches such as APIs, event-driven architectures, and messaging platforms
>- Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, technical debt, and system reliability issues
>
Qualifications- Experience
- 6+ years of experience in software engineering designing and developing enterprise applications, data/analytics solutions, and/or integration solutions
>- 1+ years of providing technical leadership as Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or Architect
>- 1+ years in AI-augmented software development of enterprise solutions
>
- Education
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Development, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering
>- (Optional) Master's Degree or Minor in AI/Machine Learning
>
- Software Engineering Skills
- Programming (e.g., Python, Java, C#, JavaScript)
>- Data (e.g., Relational Modeling, SQL, Document Databases, Graph Databases)
>- Integration & Messaging: REST/GraphQL APIs, event-driven architectures, and messaging platforms (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus)
>- Containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
>- Cloud Platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure)
>
- AI Engineering Skills
- AI-Augmented Development: Using AI coding assistants to accelerate software development (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor)
>- LLM Prompt Engineering & Fine-Tuning: Designing effective prompts, system instructions, and fine-tuning strategies for LLM applications within the context of the software development life-cycle.

- What We're Looking For
- You move fluidly between writing code and leading a room, equally comfortable in a design review as you are in a pull request
>- You have strong opinions about architecture and aren't afraid to share them, but you know when to listen and adapt
>- You take ownership seriously, on small teams, your decisions have real impact and you're energized by that, not intimidated
>- You're genuinely curious about AI, not just checking a box, you've experimented with agentic systems, LLMs, or ML tools on your own terms
>- You communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders, and can translate complexity without dumbing it down
>
Location- Metro Detroit Area in Michigan
>- Hybrid: Flexibility to work remotely, but not fully remote
>- Travel to X by 2 offices (Farmington Hills, MI) and client sites (within US) is required when requested
>
Work Environment and Culture- Work alongside smart, collaborative people who continually challenge and invest in each other
>- Partner with seasoned architects to solve hard problems and challenge assumptions
>- Small teams mean real ownership, with growth and responsibilities driven purely by individual performance
>- Everyone has a voice and is encouraged to shape the company by sharing their interests, ideas, and feedback
>
Compensation & Benefits- Base salary $143K-$185K, depending on experience, plus profit sharing
>- Annual raises and promotions based on performance
>- 401(k) with employer match
>- Comprehensive health, vision, dental, life, and disability insurance coverage, plus voluntary benefits and HSA with employer contribution
>- Home Office Reimbursement, Health and Wellness Reimbursement, and Professional Dress Allowance
>- Professional Self-Development Program
>- Paid vacation, unlimited sick days (as needed), and holidays
>- Company-sponsored social events and an employee recognition rewards program
