Mindlance

Title: Technical Lead
Location: Full time on-site in McLean, VA
Duration: 6 months possible TTH

What you will be doing: •
  • Lead multiple agile squads responsible for delivering modern full-stack application capabilities, including user-facing applications, APIs, microservices, integration services, platform modernization, and production enhancements. Provide technical direction across squads by guiding solution design, reviewing implementation approaches, and helping teams make scalable, secure, resilient, and maintainable engineering decisions.
  • Partner closely with Product Owners, architecture, business stakeholders, and cross functional technology teams to align priorities, manage dependencies, and deliver business outcomes.
  • Drive the design and implementation of Java-based microservices, REST APIs, front end applications, and integration services using modern technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Angular or React, SQL, relational databases, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.
  • Create proofs of concept, demos, and prototypes to evaluate emerging technologies, validate new ideas, and accelerate adoption of modern engineering patterns and platform capabilities.
  • Establish and reinforce software engineering standards, including scalable design, code quality, automated testing, peer reviews, deployment discipline, application security, and operational readiness.
  • Ensure solutions are designed and delivered with appropriate compliance, auditability, security, resiliency, accessibility, and production support considerations.
  • Oversee engineering production support by strengthening incident triage, root-cause analysis, observability, recovery practices, and continuous improvement of application and platform reliability.
  • Manage, mentor, and develop engineering talent through coaching, performance management, hiring, delegation, and succession planning.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, continuous improvement, and accountability while identifying opportunities to improve delivery efficiency and engineering outcomes.

Qualifications:
  • 10+ years of related software engineering or technology delivery experience, including at least 2+ years of people management and leadership experience developing high performing engineering teams.
  • Demonstrated experience leading multiple agile squads and delivering complex technology initiatives across full-stack applications, APIs, microservices, platform modernization, integration services, and production enhancements. Required hands-on or technical leadership experience with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices architecture, AWS, or cloud-native application development, Angular or React, SQL, relational databases, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.
  • Strong background in full-stack software engineering, application architecture, API design, enterprise integration patterns, application security, performance, resiliency, and delivery of scalable digital products for business and end-user needs.
  • Experience establishing and applying software engineering standards, including scalable design, code quality, automated testing, peer reviews, deployment discipline, compliance standards, auditability, and production readiness. Proven ability to provide technical direction, evaluate solution options, guide architecture and implementation decisions, and create proofs of concept or demos to validate new ideas and emerging technologies.
  • Experience managing engineering production support responsibilities, including incident triage, root-cause analysis, resiliency improvements, observability, and continuous improvement of application and platform reliability.
  • Strong leadership skills, including hiring, coaching, mentoring, delegation, performance management, talent development, and succession planning.
  • Ability to manage dependencies with vendors, Product Owners, architecture teams, business stakeholders, and internal engineering teams to deliver software solutions effectively.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and work experience; advanced degree preferred.

Keys to Success in this Role:
  • Provide practical technical direction that helps teams make sound design, implementation, testing, and production readiness decisions.
  • Build and develop strong engineering talent through coaching, mentoring, delegation, feedback, and succession planning.
  • Create a team environment that promotes ownership, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Maintain focus on production quality, platform resiliency, auditability, and operational excellence throughout the software delivery lifecycle.
  • Communicate effectively with Product Owners, architecture partners, business stakeholders, and engineering teams to align expectations and remove delivery blockers.
  • Use data, engineering metrics, and lessons learned from production support to improve team performance, delivery predictability, and platform reliability.
  • Bring strong discipline across multiple agile squads by setting clear priorities, managing dependencies, and keeping teams focused on delivery outcomes.
