Remote Lead Software Developer

Allata is a global consulting and technology services firm with offices in the US, India, and Argentina. We help organizations accelerate growth, drive innovation, and solve complex challenges by combining strategy, design, and advanced technology. Our expertise covers defining business vision, optimizing processes, and creating engaging digital experiences. We architect and modernize secure, scalable solutions using cloud platforms and top engineering practices.

Allata also empowers clients to unlock data value through analytics and visualization and leverages artificial intelligence to automate processes and enhance decision-making. Our agile, cross-functional teams work closely with clients, either integrating with their teams or providing independent guidance—to deliver measurable results and build lasting partnerships.

We are looking for a Lead Software Developer to join our engineering team and take a key role in the technical leadership, design, and delivery of scalable software solutions. This position combines strong hands-on development with architectural ownership, technical decision-making, and mentorship of other engineers.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned engineer who can ramp up quickly, navigate ambiguity, guide technical direction, and ensure high standards of quality while collaborating closely with product, design, and client stakeholders. While the team works primarily with modern web technologies, we value solid engineering fundamentals over experience in a single stack.

- Lead technical discussions, estimate effort, identify risks, and propose pragmatic solutions

- Ensure high standards of code quality, testing, security, and operational excellence

- Support team growth by promoting engineering best practices and continuous improvement

- Remain hands-on in development while balancing leadership responsibilities
