What you'll do
Own a client end to end. Learn their business, find what to automate or rebuild, and lead the work that ships it.
Turn business problems into technical solutions sit in the call, understand the real problem, design the fix, and decide how it gets built.
Stay hands-on. You'll still write code, build integrations, and work with APIs every day.
Build on whatever the client runs Zoho, Salesforce, Azure, similar platforms, and custom apps where needed.
Run delivery: scope it, sequence it, ship it, support it. The timeline is yours.
Review code and designs. Mentor the developers on your projects and unblock them fast.
Be the escalation point when something breaks or an integration misbehaves.
Own client communication on the technical side status, tradeoffs, bad news, early.
Keep the bar high: clear docs, clear updates, clear commit history.
What we're looking for
4–7 years shipping software, with real depth in REST APIs and system integrations.
Experience leading projects or small teams — the person others check with before they build.
Strong with business platforms (Zoho, Salesforce, or similar). Much of the leverage lives there, not in custom code.
You can sit with a non-technical client, understand the problem, and come back with a working solution.
Still enjoy building. This is technical leadership, not coordination.
Self-driven. You'll often be the senior-most engineer on the account.
Why you'll love this role
Full ownership from first call to delivery — you run projects, not a ticket queue.
Direct access to clients and leadership. Your decisions ship the same week.
Constant variety: new systems, new problems, new builds.
A step into technical leadership without giving up the hands-on work.
