Charlotte, NC Metro Area | Reports to CTO

Lead Engineering at Scale - Where AI Meets Enterprise Impact

Our client, a leading enterprise technology company managing a high-volume, 24x7 data platform for Fortune 500 clients across North America, is seeking a hands-on engineering leader to guide a development organization. This is a rare player-coach role: you'll mentor engineers through design reviews, drive AI-assisted engineering adoption, and shape technical strategy alongside the CTO - all while unifying onshore, nearshore, and offshore teams into one high-performing organization.

What You'll Do

 * Manage engineers (employees + consultants) across mobile, web, and back-end teams - hiring, coaching, and performance management

 * Partner with Project/Product leadership on resource planning, capacity, and delivery alignment

 * Champion AI-assisted development (agentic coding, AI code review, AI-generated tests) with clear guardrails

 * Own engineering standards: code quality, PR review, test coverage, and CI/CD gates

 * Guide architecture toward cloud-native services (Azure Kubernetes Service)

 * Unite global teams with shared standards, overlap hours, and cross-location collaboration models

 * Partner on incident response, RCA loops, and SOC 2 compliance
