Role description
Our client is seeking a Hands-On Technical Lead to lead a Scrum team while actively contributing to the design and development of scalable, AI-driven systems. This role requires a strong balance of technical leadership, hands-on engineering, AWS architecture, and AI agent development.
The ideal candidate is a player-coach—someone who can define architecture, guide a team, and still write production-quality code.
This role is on a contractual-basis, full-time hours Mon-Fri, on-site in Houston, Texas, projected to be 6 months project duration MINIMUM plus possibility of extension.
Key Responsibilities
• Lead a Scrum team, providing technical direction, mentorship, and code-level guidance
• Actively contribute to hands-on development (backend and/or full-stack)
• Extensive experience in AWS deployments
• Experience in architecture
• Design and implement scalable system architectures on AWS
• Build and deploy AI-powered solutions, including AI agents and agent-based workflows
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software in an Agile environment
• Drive best practices in code quality, testing, CI/CD, and system reliability
• Be the technical lead for the Scrum team (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives)
Required Qualifications
• Proven experience as a Technical Lead or Lead Engineer within a Scrum/Agile team
• Strong hands-on coding experience (recent and ongoing)
• Deep experience designing and deploying systems on AWS (e.g., Lambda, ECS/EKS, S3, API Gateway, RDS, etc.)
• Experience building AI/GenAI solutions, including:
• LLM integrations
• AI agent development and orchestration
• Solid understanding of software architecture and system design
• Experience with modern backend technologies (e.g., Python, Node.js, Java)
• Experience with AI agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen)
Preferred Qualifications
• Familiarity with RAG pipelines and multi-agent systems
• Frontend experience (React, TypeScript) is a plus
• AWS certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect) are a plus
• Scrum Master certification is a plus
If this role aligns with you - or someone who you know is qualified - please attach your most updated CV/resume with a good phone number to reach you out at. My colleague, Jordan, can send you a call and discuss the role with you in-length.
Best regards,
