Engineering Team Lead

This is a remote position.

Who We Are:

At Advancio, we combine startup agility with the ambition to build transformative technology. We’re passionate about innovation, speed, and delivering impactful results. As we grow, we’re seeking a hands-on technical leader who thrives on building MVPs, solving real-world problems, and shaping the future of our technical capabilities.

Job Summary:

We’re looking for an Engineering Team Lead to join our team and play a critical dual role—75% hands-on technical work and 25% strategic leadership. You will take charge of coding, prototyping, and delivering multiple MVPs, while also shaping the foundation of our technical processes and team. This role is perfect for a technical guru who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to build and troubleshoot, and stepping back to make high-impact strategic decisions.

In this position, you will:

· Take full ownership of delivering practical and functional solutions to business challenges through MVPs, PoCs, and scalable software.

· Provide strategic technical direction, laying the groundwork for scalable processes, tools, and best practices.

· Serve as the go-to expert for technical problem-solving, while collaborating with stakeholders to prioritize and align efforts with business goals.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone eager to make an immediate impact in a hands-on capacity while establishing the frameworks and strategies for long-term success.

Key Responsibilities (75% Operational/Hands-On):

· Own Technical Delivery: Build MVPs, run PoCs, and prototype solutions to quickly test and validate ideas.

· Hands-On Coding: Develop high-quality software solutions, data pipelines, and AI/ML models that align with business goals.

· Agility & Execution: Prioritize speed and efficiency in delivery, ensuring rapid iterations without compromising quality.

· Troubleshooting & Problem-Solving: Tackle complex technical challenges with practical, innovative solutions.

· System Architecture: Design and implement scalable, reliable systems that can evolve as products mature.

· Best Practices: Establish coding standards, DevOps pipelines, and development processes to guide future work

Key Responsibilities (25% Strategy/Leadership):

· Technical Strategy: Collaborate with stakeholders to define the technology roadmap and align it with business objectives.

· Innovation Leadership: Stay ahead of technology trends (AI, ML, cloud, and data) and drive the adoption of new tools and frameworks.

· Mentorship & Team Building: Develop frameworks for onboarding, mentoring, and growing a future technical team as the role evolves.

· Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product managers and stakeholders to scope, plan, and prioritize projects.

· Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to optimize processes, improve product quality, and increase development efficiency.

Requirements

What You Bring to the Table:

· 6+ Years of Hands-On Experience: Proven expertise in software development (Python, Java, .NET, or similar), with strong full-stack skills.

· AI, Data, and ML Expertise: Hands-on experience building AI/ML models, data pipelines, and analytics tools.

· MVP Builder: Demonstrated ability to deliver MVPs and PoCs quickly and efficiently in a fast-paced environment.

· Strategic Vision: The ability to align technical decisions with business priorities and long-term goals.

· Startup Mindset: Comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iterations, and wearing multiple hats.

· Cloud & DevOps: Proficiency with AWS, Azure, or GCP, along with DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.

· Leadership Potential: Experience mentoring or guiding junior developers and building scalable processes.

· Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS, AI, software development) are a plus.

What Success Looks Like:

· MVP Delivery: Delivered 2-3 high-quality MVPs in the first 6 months that validate key business ideas.

· Foundation Building: Established coding standards, best practices, and tools to support scalable product development.

· Strategic Alignment: Implemented technical solutions that align with business goals and set the stage for future growth.

· Leadership Growth: Positioned the role to evolve into a leadership capacity, with frameworks in place for team growth.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

· Immediate Impact: See your work directly influence product success and company growth.

· Ownership: Lead both hands-on technical efforts and strategic initiatives with autonomy.

· Growth Opportunity: Transition into a leadership role while still remaining involved in technical delivery.
