Web Tech Lead

Chicago, Illinois, United States; New York, NY, USA; Remote

The Role

We're looking for a hands-on technical leader to guide engineering execution across our client engagements. In this role, you'll set technical direction, serve as the technical partner to clients,  hold the line on code quality, and mentor the developers around you, all while bringing an AI-native mindset to how the team builds, reviews, and ships.

This is a senior technical role for someone who wants to balance client partnership, leadership, and technical delivery. You'll work closely with practice leadership and project teams, and you'll be looked to as the person who keeps delivery technically sound, on schedule, and built to last. If you care as much about how the code is built as what gets shipped, and you're already integrating AI tooling into your day-to-day workflow, we'd love to meet you.

 

What You'll Do

Lead Technical Delivery

  • Guide engineering execution across client engagements, from architecture decisions through code review.
  • Set technical direction for projects and hold teams accountable to it.
  • Own delivery velocity and efficiency, keeping engagements technically sound and on schedule.
  • Help reduce technical escalations by catching issues early and building in the right checks.

Champion AI-Augmented Development

  • Integrate AI tooling, including Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code, into the team's delivery workflow as a core part of how work gets done.
  • Continuously look for ways AI-assisted development can improve code quality, speed, and consistency across engagements.

Set the Standard for Code Quality

  • Enforce coding standards and lead code review to ensure consistent, maintainable code across projects.
  • Keep an eye on system performance and stability as engagements evolve and scale.
  • Champion architecture and system design decisions that hold up over time.

Mentor and Develop the Team

  • Actively mentor developers, supporting their growth and capability development.
  • Build a culture where feedback, code review, and technical craft are taken seriously.
  • Get involved early in solution scoping and estimation, helping shape engagements before they kick off.

 

What You Bring

Experience & Background

  • Solid experience leading technical delivery on enterprise-scale engagements.
  • A track record of hands-on code review, architecture decisions, and mentoring developers.
  • Comfort owning technical outcomes across multiple concurrent projects.

Technical Expertise

  • Strong foundation in architecture and system design.
  • Hands on experience with Wordpress, Drupal, and/or Sitecore.
  • Working fluency with AI-assisted development tools such as Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code, and a genuine interest in pushing how they're used across a team.
  • An eye for code quality and maintainability, and the judgment to know when performance or stability tradeoffs matter.

Leadership & Communication

  • A natural mentor, someone developers want to learn from.
  • Comfortable weighing in early on solution scoping and estimation, not just execution.
  • A collaborative approach that earns trust with both the team and the broader engagement.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
