Job description
We're hiring a Team Lead focused on ERP integrations as the core of the role, who owns how a squad builds and ships, from architecture and API design through to delivery, reliability, and the growth and performance of the engineers on the team. You already use AI as part of how you think, build, test, and ship, and shape how the team does the same.
You'll write code that moves money in production, own the squad's architecture and engineering delivery, lead the growth of its engineers, and serve as the squad's technical co-lead with the Product Manager. Your squad owns the in-product workflows Xe runs inside Sage, Business Central, Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O), and Xero, and the accounting orchestration layer behind them. You align with adjacent squads when work crosses boundaries.
What You'll Do
- Own the integration architecture across Sage, Business Central, Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O), and Xero, including the accounting orchestration layer the squad ships behind them.
- Set technical direction and lead the squad's hands-on engineering work: architecture, API design, code for the hard parts, design reviews, code review standards, and leading the squad's response to production incidents.
- Own engineering delivery for the squad, iterating with the PM on roadmap, sprint plans, timelines, and what ships when.
- Lead and support the engineers as people, not just technically: pairing, mentoring, regular 1:1s, feedback, and helping them grow and perform, including contributing to interview loops.
- Shape how the team adopts AI tools: set the example for using agentic coding tools daily across the SDLC and raise the bar for how the squad ships with them.
Requirements
Must-have
- 6 to 10+ years building production software systems, end-to-end.
- Track record of technical leadership in a software team: setting architecture, leading design reviews, mentoring engineers, and being accountable for a squad's technical decisions.
- Experience leading, developing, and supporting engineers beyond the technical, including coaching, regular 1:1s, feedback, and helping people grow and perform, as a meaningful part of the role alongside hands-on technical leadership.
- Strong backend proficiency in C# / .NET preferred; other OOP languages welcome (Java, Kotlin, Go, or equivalent).
- Working frontend fluency with Vue.js, React, or equivalent.
- Strong system design experience, including distributed systems and service-oriented or microservices architecture.
- Payments, FX, or regulated-industry experience.
- SQL and relational database fundamentals.
- Production experience with AWS, including native services such as SQS, DynamoDB, S3, ECS, and Lambda, and ownership of CI/CD pipelines including release gating (GitHub Actions or equivalent).
- Daily use of agentic coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or equivalent) across the SDLC, with a clear point of view on how a team should adopt AI.
- Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to translate technical decisions for product and business audiences.
Nice-to-have
- Experience with ERP integrations (Sage, Business Central, Dynamics 365 F&O, or Xero).
- Track record leading engineering teams shipping payments, fintech, or money-movement products at scale.
- Formal line-management or performance-management experience.
- Track record of hiring, interviewing, or onboarding engineers.
- Experience modernizing platforms, decoupling from legacy services, or leading large refactors.
- Experience leading engineering teams through significant change (scaling, modernization, or restructuring).
- Familiarity with other parts of Xe's tech stack, such as Salesforce or Oracle SQL.
