You are a senior leader within IntelliSPEC’s Product and Technology organization, working closely with the Chief Architect, DevSecOps Lead, SDET Manager, and Product Management.

Proven experience leading multiple software engineering teams delivering SaaS applications
Strong technical depth in MERN-stack technologies including React, Node.js, and MongoDB
Ability to review architecture, designs, and code for quality, scalability, and risk
Demonstrated experience operating in Agile or SAFe environments with predictable delivery outcomes
Strong people leadership skills including coaching engineering managers and senior engineers
Ability to balance delivery speed, technical quality, and long‑term platform health
Excellent communication skills with experience presenting execution status, risks, and trade‑offs to senior leadership
What We’re Looking For – Preferred
Experience working with AI-enabled or data‑intensive systems
Familiarity with cloud‑native architectures and DevOps practices
Experience scaling engineering organizations and defining career ladders
Key Responsibilities
Own execution and delivery of IntelliSPEC’s SaaS platform across frontend and backend teams
Serve as a hands‑on technical leader in architecture reviews, design decisions, and delivery trade‑offs
Ensure consistent engineering standards across React applications, Node.js services, and MongoDB data layers
Partner with the Chief Architect to ensure architectural intent is executed correctly
Collaborate with DevSecOps and SDET leadership to ensure security, quality, and reliability are built into delivery
Coach engineering managers and senior engineers on technical decision‑making and execution discipline
Establish and track engineering metrics for delivery predictability, quality, and team health
Drive continuous improvement in engineering processes, tooling, and execution rigor
