Software Team Lead

InCommon is hiring on behalf of a US-based firm. Position Summary: We’re hiring a Software Team Lead who will play a dual role: driving hands-on technical delivery as a senior engineer, while also managing day-to-day client communication and team coordination. You’ll spend most of your time building and delivering high-quality software, but you’ll also ensure that feature requests are clearly understood, issues are troubleshooted quickly, and internal alignment stays tight across projects. This is an ideal role for a strong individual contributor who’s ready to take on leadership responsibilities without stepping away from coding. About the Company: We are an AI-first product development partner helping organizations reimagine how products are built. By combining human ingenuity with generative AI workflows, we deliver scalable engineering solutions faster, better, and more efficiently. We operate on a Product-Development-as-a-Service (PDaaS) model, helping clients stay ahead in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. What You’ll Own: Hands-on Development: Write clean, scalable, and efficient code across projects. Feature Management: Understand client feature requests and translate them into actionable technical work. Troubleshooting: Act as the first line of investigation for technical issues, both client-reported and internal. Team Coordination: Work closely with internal engineers to ensure tasks are clear, priorities are managed, and blockers are removed. Client Communication: Join client calls, provide updates on progress, gather clarifications, and manage expectations when needed. Process Improvement: Suggest and help implement process changes that improve delivery quality and team productivity. What We’re Looking For: 5 years of experience in software engineering. Strong backend or full-stack development background (preferably with modern frameworks and cloud environments). Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to debug complex issues independently. Ability to communicate technical details clearly to non-technical stakeholders. Prior experience interfacing with clients in a technical delivery role. Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, remote-first setup. Nice to Have: Experience working in product development environments. Exposure to AI/ML tools and systems is a plus. Familiarity with Agile or Generative Agile practices.
