Technical Lead - Business Automation & AI Development

Accountabilities • Design and oversee custom business applications, including CRM platforms, project management tools, data integration layers, and other operational software.

• Translate complex business processes, existing documentation, video walkthroughs, and structured requirements into functional and scalable digital solutions.

• Lead AI-assisted software development using platforms such as Replit Agent/Builder, ensuring generated solutions meet appropriate standards for architecture, security, maintainability, and scalability.

• Apply sound architectural judgment to determine when AI-generated solutions require manual intervention, refinement, or redesign.

• Design integration strategies and workflows that capture client requests, manage project lifecycles, and enable reliable data handoffs into existing legacy systems.

• Develop solutions that improve operational efficiency while minimizing the need for disruptive replacements of established infrastructure.

• Ensure deployed applications achieve strong availability, reliability, and performance through appropriate infrastructure management, monitoring, and quality assurance practices.

• Establish technical and development best practices that support repeatable delivery as the automation practice scales.

• Over time, identify, hire, mentor, and develop junior developers while building a high-performing team focused on AI-augmented software development.

• Partner closely with business stakeholders to understand operational challenges and translate them into commercially valuable technical solutions.

Requirements

• Proven experience combining software engineering with business analysis, product management, or a similar business-facing technical discipline.

• Demonstrated experience using AI coding assistants or AI-powered development platforms such as Replit, Lovable, or comparable tools to rapidly deliver production-ready software.

• Strong architectural judgment and the ability to evaluate, guide, and improve AI-generated code rather than relying solely on automated development.

• Strong full-stack knowledge covering frontend and backend architectures, SQL and/or NoSQL databases, APIs, integrations, and application design.

• Experience building or optimizing business applications such as CRM systems, project management platforms, internal operational tools, or workflow automation solutions.

• Ability to design systems with a long-term perspective, ensuring solutions can scale from an individual client deployment to a much larger customer base.

• Strong understanding of business processes and the ability to translate operational requirements into practical technology solutions.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bridge technical execution and the needs of non-technical business stakeholders.

• Entrepreneurial and self-directed mindset, with a strong sense of ownership and comfort working in a fast-moving environment.

• Ability to navigate ambiguous or undefined problems, make sound strategic decisions, and operate effectively without a rigid playbook.

• Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to work autonomously and deliver results with minimal supervision.

• Leadership and mentorship potential, with the ability to establish standards and develop future engineering talent.

• Experience in professional services, consulting, BPO, legacy system migration, remote team leadership, or startup environments is beneficial but not essential.

Benefits

• Full-time remote engagement.

• Flexible working hours with required overlap with US time zones when needed for client and project delivery.

• Opportunity to play a foundational role in launching and shaping a new technology and automation practice.

• Potential to build, hire, and mentor a development team as the practice grows.

• Exposure to diverse business processes and operational challenges across multiple client environments.

• Opportunity to create practical technology solutions that modernize workflows without requiring disruptive legacy system replacements.

• Entrepreneurial environment with substantial autonomy and opportunities to influence technical standards and delivery practices.
