This position is remote based, but candidates must reside in the continental United States.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in the Metro West area of Boston with a major player in the manufacturing / software industry! They provide companies with the most technologically advanced and comprehensive product cost management software available on the market today. The company is private, with about 150+ total employees with about 60 people on the engineering team. They are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to advance their Cloud offering and provide leadership / guidance to their on and off-shore based teams.

About the job:

• This is a senior position with emphasis on Java back end, but expert knowledge with front end tech stacks is desired.
• Looking for leadership qualities to help guide the team. This person will help update their cloud offering as they pivot to a true cloud architecture and bring their product to a new level.
• API’s written in Java are being consumed – this is a cloud F/E build in Java calling React/Redux so knowledge of Java and Java tools are important. There is a lot of relational work and the new hire will need to understand that.

• This person would help ‘heard the cattle’ with some of their remote European Developers.
• Prioritize technology initiatives, provide good oversight of the code and act like senior supervisor. Focusing on moving the release along – phase 1 in April & phase 2 in August. Tight timelines.

• Proven ability to help lead and drive small to medium sized software teams: technical direction, design and coding oversight, prioritization
• 5+ years of software engineering experience
