Charlotte, NC Metro Area | Reports to CTO

Lead Engineering at Scale — Where AI Meets Enterprise Impact

Our client, a leading enterprise technology company managing a high-volume, 24x7 data platform for Fortune 500 clients across North America, is seeking a hands-on engineering leader to guide a development organization. This is a rare player-coach role: you'll mentor engineers through design reviews, drive AI-assisted engineering adoption, and shape technical strategy alongside the CTO — all while unifying onshore, nearshore, and offshore teams into one high-performing organization.

What You'll Do

• Manage engineers (employees + consultants) across mobile, web, and back-end teams — hiring, coaching, and performance management

• Partner with Project/Product leadership on resource planning, capacity, and delivery alignment

• Champion AI-assisted development (agentic coding, AI code review, AI-generated tests) with clear guardrails

• Own engineering standards: code quality, PR review, test coverage, and CI/CD gates

• Guide architecture toward cloud-native services (Azure Kubernetes Service)

• Unite global teams with shared standards, overlap hours, and cross-location collaboration models

• Partner on incident response, RCA loops, and SOC 2 compliance

Must-Haves

• 10+ years in software development, 3+ years leading 10+ engineers

• Hands-on with .NET/C# plus progressive Front End and Mobile

• Experience leading teams on high-availability, high-throughput, real-time platforms

• Proven functional management in matrixed SaaS environments

• Track record integrating onshore/nearshore/offshore teams

• Strong Agile/Scrum and CI/CD experience (Azure DevOps or similar)

• REST API and system integration experience

• Practical use of AI coding tools with team-level governance

• Strong SQL Server skills at scale

Nice-to-Haves

• Background in IoT or data-intensive B2B SaaS

• Azure PaaS / AKS and containerization experience

• Event streaming/caching (Kafka, Redis, Service Bus)

• Geospatial/mapping API experience

• SOC 2 or similar compliance experience

• Legacy modernization without disrupting delivery
