Technical Lead AI Accelerated Software Engineering

X by 2 is a technology consulting firm specializing in healthcare and insurance transformation. For over 25 years, we have partnered with leading organizations across North America, from strategy and architecture to system modernization, data analytics, and AI, delivering high-impact solutions from start to finish. We're agile, collaborative, and deeply committed to doing consulting the way it was meant to be done.

We are looking for a Technical Lead who will lead the design and development of enterprise software solutions. You'll combine hands-on engineering with leadership, guiding architecture decisions, mentoring teams, and building solutions.

• Technical Leadership & Architecture
  • Lead architecture, design, development, testing, and deployment of enterprise software solutions (applications, data, integration, AI agents, AI models)
  • Translate fuzzy, ambiguous business problems into concrete, well-scoped technical solutions that teams can execute against
  • Participate in strategy and roadmap discussions, architecture definition, and technology evaluations
  • Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical guidance
  • Quickly evaluate and adopt new tools, technologies, and platforms to build prototypes and proofs-of-concept
  • Drive adoption of the use of AI in the software development life-cycle with engineering teams, product leaders, and domain experts to deliver results
• Software Engineering
  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable, production-grade enterprise applications using modern languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, Java, C#, JavaScript)
  • Define and enforce coding standards, best practices, and design patterns across the team
  • Build a strong testing culture, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, and design systems for testability from the outset
  • Establish and evolve automated testing strategies and quality gates within CI/CD pipelines
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-deployed services (AWS, Azure)
  • Integrate enterprise systems using common approaches such as APIs, event-driven architectures, and messaging platforms
  • Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, technical debt, and system reliability issues

• Experience
  • 6+ years of experience in software engineering designing and developing enterprise applications, data/analytics solutions, and/or integration solutions
  • 1+ years of providing technical leadership as Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or Architect
  • 1+ years in AI-augmented software development of enterprise solutions
• Education
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Development, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering
  • (Optional) Master's Degree or Minor in AI/Machine Learning
• Software Engineering Skills
  • Programming (e.g., Python, Java, C#, JavaScript)
  • Data (e.g., Relational Modeling, SQL, Document Databases, Graph Databases)
  • Integration & Messaging: REST/GraphQL APIs, event-driven architectures, and messaging platforms (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus)
  • Containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Cloud Platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure)
• AI Engineering Skills
  • AI-Augmented Development:
    Using AI coding assistants to accelerate software development (e.g., Git Hub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor)
  • LLM Prompt Engineering & Fine-Tuning:
    Designing effective prompts, system instructions, and fine-tuning strategies for LLM applications within the context of the software development life-cycle.
• What We’re Looking For
  • You move fluidly between writing code and leading a room, equally comfortable in a design review as you are in a pull request
  • You have strong opinions about architecture and aren't afraid to share them, but you know when to listen and adapt
  • You take ownership seriously, on small teams, your…
