Job description

The Development Team Lead leads a team of software engineers building and maintaining Xactimate Desktop, a large, mature C#/.NET and WPF application. Reporting to the Software Development Manager, the Team Lead spends most of their time setting direction, developing people, removing obstacles, and ensuring the team delivers high-quality software predictably. They remain hands‑on for roughly a third of their time, which keeps their technical judgment sharp and lets them model the practices they expect of the team.

A central part of this role is leading the team’s adoption of AI‑assisted development. The Team Lead champions practical, everyday use of AI coding tools, builds the habits and guardrails that make those tools effective on a large legacy codebase, and measures their impact on productivity and quality. Success requires strong technical depth, clear communication, and the ability to bring a team along through change.
