## 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.
