Job Description
As a Lead Engineer in Application Engineering, you will own the day-to-day technical leadership of a small application development scrum team focused on building new features and enhancing current capabilities within the Certent Equity Management (CEM) platform for a large, strategic enterprise client engagement. Reporting to the Sr Engineering Manager, you will split your time roughly equally between writing and reviewing code and leading your team — setting priorities, unblocking teammates, running scrum ceremonies, and holding the team accountable for high-quality delivery. This is both an IC role and a Management role. The right candidate is a seasoned engineer who leads by doing — someone whose technical credibility earns the team's respect and whose organizational discipline keeps delivery on track. You will be the daily technical authority for your squad, and also responsible for their career development. You will partner closely with the Sr Engineering Manager on delivery planning and escalations, and interfacing with client stakeholders at key points in the delivery lifecycle. You will bring an AI-first mindset — not just complying with organizational AI adoption targets, but genuinely integrating agentic development tooling into how you and your team work every day.
