Job description

We're looking for a hands-on Development Team Lead to lead a team of developers supporting and enhancing a primarily VB6 and Oracle PL/SQL-based application portfolio, while helping guide ongoing modernization efforts. This is a manager-track role focused on people leadership and delivery-not full-time coding-but requires enough technical depth to review code, influence design decisions, and query data when needed.

You'll oversee a mix of break/fix work, enhancements, and multiple active projects, operating in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. Success in this role requires a proactive mindset, strong ownership, and the ability to balance legacy system stability with forward-looking improvements, while collaborating closely with executives and cross-functional partners.

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering foundation with solid OOP understanding, especially within legacy application environments.

  • Prior hands-on development background with significant experience in VB6 and Oracle PL/SQL

  • Ability to review and guide VB6 and PL/SQL code, support technical decision-making, and contribute to architecture discussions.

  • Strong SQL proficiency, with the ability to write and review queries independently (Oracle preferred).

  • Experience leading teams supporting high-volume, ticket-driven workloads alongside active project work.

  • Demonstrated ability to take initiative quickly, operate with urgency, and learn new technologies as modernization efforts evolve.

  • Comfort prioritizing work in environments with more demand than capacity.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage executives on a regular basis. * Deep experience with Oracle PL/SQL, Oracle Forms, and legacy VB6 systems.

  • Background in legacy modernization, system refactoring, or platform migration initiatives.

  • Exposure to parts of the broader stack, including:

  • React (with Node.js)

  • PostgreSQL

  • Experience helping introduce or mature CI/CD practices in traditionally manual or legacy environments.

  • Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, and SharePoint.
