EngineeRD Solutions, LLC (EngineeRD) is an IT and AI-services consulting firm that builds automation, integration, and full-stack software solutions for clients across industries — including back-office and workflow transformation, AI agent (“AI employee”) development, and Microsoft 365/Power Platform engineering. Project assignments, technology stacks, and client industries vary over time as EngineeRD's client portfolio changes; this role is not limited to any single client or engagement. As a Lead Software Engineer, you'll spend most of your time on technical direction, debugging, architecture guidance, and team leadership across EngineeRD's active client engagements, rather than on primary feature development. You'll mentor Associate and Senior engineers, own final technical sign-off on deliverables, and serve as the senior escalation point for engineering issues — while still staying hands-on for the most complex or highest-risk problems.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide technical direction, architecture guidance, and design/code review across EngineeRD's active client engagements
- Lead debugging, root-cause analysis, and defect resolution for complex or escalated issues across automation, integration, and full-stack workstreams
- Set and enforce engineering standards, sequencing, and quality gates across build, testing, and stabilization phases
- Mentor and provide day-to-day technical direction to Associate and Senior Software Engineers, including task allocation and skill development
- Own final technical sign-off on AI agent / “AI employee” builds, Power Platform automations, and full-stack deliverables before client delivery
- Serve as the senior technical escalation point for client-facing engineering issues, coordinating with the assigned Project Lead and the CEO as needed
- Review and validate technical documentation, manual fallback procedures, and training materials before client handoff
- Identify cross-project technical risks and reusable components, and recommend improvements to EngineeRD's engineering practices and tooling
- Support hiring, onboarding, and technical evaluation of engineering candidates as EngineeRD's team grows
- Stay hands-on with development, debugging, and prototyping for the most complex or highest-risk technical problems
- Take on additional engineering-leadership responsibilities as EngineeRD's client portfolio and project mix evolve

- Strong debugging and root-cause-analysis skills across full-stack, integration, and automation issues
- Experience setting technical direction and engineering standards for client-facing delivery work
- Comfortable operating independently in a small, fully remote company, working directly with the CEO and clients on technical matters

- Experience serving as a technical lead or engineering manager for a small consulting, managed-services, or client-delivery organization
