Software Dev Team Leader Needed

I’m putting together a small, remote technology team focused squarely on software development, and I’m looking for someone ready to step in as the team leader. Our day-to-day work centres on maintaining and updating a set of existing web and mobile applications rather than building brand-new products, so your knack for breathing new life into mature codebases is essential.

You’ll guide 3–5 engineers, plan sprints, review pull requests, and still stay hands-on with the code. Our stack leans heavily on JavaScript/TypeScript (Node, React) with a few .NET microservices, all deployed through modern CI/CD pipelines to AWS. Familiarity with automated testing, performance tuning, and secure coding practices will set you up for quick wins.

What I need from you right away:
• Audit the current codebase and surface the highest-risk areas
• Create a maintenance roadmap that balances quick fixes with strategic refactors
• Lead the team through two production releases in the first six weeks, each with full changelogs and zero regressions
• Leave behind clean documentation that keeps future work friction-free

If you have a proven record of steering software maintenance projects, enjoy mentoring developers, and communicate clearly across time zones, let’s talk about how you’d tackle the first 90 days.
