The Role You’ll Play

As the Application Development Lead, you will have end-to-end responsibility for the design, development, deployment, and support of multiple applications that have significant business impact. This will involve meeting with the business stakeholders directly, gathering requirements/use cases, and then leveraging your internal development team along with external partners and consultants on building and delivering the solution.

  • Perform coding tasks, design work, and conduct regular code reviews.
  • Oversee the design and construction of extensions, reports, and interfaces with varying levels of complexity.
  • Work collaboratively within an Agile team environment across concurrent projects.
  • Utilize company programming standards and techniques to ensure efficient code logic, data handling, and maintainability.
  • Provide advanced problem-solving support for one or more application modules.
  • Recommend enhancements to application development strategies, application usage, or processes by leveraging business process knowledge.
  • Validate project design, assess business impact, and resolve implementation issues.
  • Manage, coach, develop, and mentor professional staff, ensuring effective resource utilization.
  • Ensure development team compliance with technical procedures, quality controls, corporate policies, and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintain effective communication with business and technology partners.
  • Recruit, hire, lead, motivate, and coach team members to drive continuous performance improvement.
  • Review technical architecture of new and ongoing projects, prioritizing long-term simplicity, scalability, maintainability, security, and reliability.
  • Collaborate with technical operations and support teams to enhance deployment environment stability and reliability.
  • Manage and oversee outsourced development teams.


Background Profile:

This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned full-stack web application developer with a background in Java environments to lead a small team and have end-to-end ownership of client-facing applications. The ideal candidate will have proven experience working with a small development team, as well as a track record of successfully coordinating with external development partners, service providers, and offshore development teams.


Seeking an individual who is equally adept at reviewing code, facilitating technical design sessions on the whiteboard, and collaborating effectively with business stakeholders to understand requirements and align solutions. The ability to bridge technical expertise with business acumen is crucial in this role.


  • 5-6 + years of web application development experience with Java. (eCommerce experience is a plus)
  • Database and integration experience using RESTful API, SQL, and web services.
  • Experience in building and growing teams in a collaborative and team environment.
  • Experience managing both internal resources and, as needed, external contractors/vendors.
  • Highly organized, capable of managing multiple, complex tasks, and able to work with several groups at once.
  • Excellent facilitation skills are required to drive the resolution of complex business and technical problems. Must have strong problem-solving and follow-through skills.
  • Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills required.
  • Knowledge of IT service management principles


Preferred:

  • Experience working with iPaaS solutions like Boomi or Jitterbit.
  • Working experience in Azure
