Job Overview:

The Senior Technical Lead
leads custom software development  team builds and maintains the internal platforms behind crane dispatch, asset management, field service, and pricing, and the integrations that connect them to Dynamics 365, Salesforce, and other enterprise systems.

This is a hands-on technical management role, roughly 60% hands-on technical work (building, code review, CI/CD, and releases) and 40% team leadership (sprints, priorities, and stakeholders). You report to the Director of Engineering and partner with the Principal Engineer, who sets architecture and technical direction for the organization. You own delivery: sprint execution, code quality, testing, releases, and the team’s day-to-day work.

Houston, Texas preferred. Remote available for the right candidate.

• Lead a team of software developers. Set daily priorities, unblock work, and hold the team to consistent standards for code quality, testing, and documentation.
• Run Agile sprints end to end: planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives. Keep the backlog groomed and sprint commitments realistic.
• Write user stories and technical tasks in Azure Dev Ops from discovery sessions with stakeholders.
• Partner with the Principal Engineer Architect on architecture decisions and technical standards, and turn those decisions into executable work.
• Stay hands-on: build features, review code, and step into critical fixes.
• Harden reliability and release discipline on critical internal platforms under active operational load, reducing production risk and single points of knowledge.
• Use AI-assisted development tools in delivery and set the standards for how the team uses them, including review and testing of AI-generated code.
• Make sure work is tested before it ships, with unit, integration, and regression coverage matched to the risk of the change.

• Serve as a technical point of contact for stakeholders on the team’s work.
• Triage incoming requests. Step back from implementation to determine whether an issue is a defect in existing behavior or a request for new capability, and route it to the right path.
• Work across Engineering teams, including Salesforce and ERP, and with Infrastructure on changes that span multiple systems.
• Explain technical tradeoffs, risks, and timelines to leadership in plain language.
• Take direction and feedback from leadership and adjust plans as priorities change.

• Own CI/CD and release pipelines, including build, test, and deployment automation across environments.
• Run release management: release planning, go/no-go readiness, deployment, and rollback.
• Write and send release communications so stakeholders know what changed, when, and what it means for them.
• Monitor production health after releases and drive root-cause fixes for recurring issues.

• Build and maintain integrations using Azure Logic Apps, Power Automate, and REST APIs across Dynamics 365, Salesforce, and third-party systems, in line with architecture and standards set with the Principal Engineer.
• Oversee Azure-hosted…
