Job description

Job Description

We are looking for a dynamic technical leader to join the new Cleveland office of an established and respected consulting company focused on Cloud Computing.

In addition to being extremely proficient with development, you don’t mind spending half of your time on architecture and solution design, troubleshooting, project management, mentoring and managing junior resources, and occasionally firefighting.

You like the idea of working with cloud solutions or at least you aren’t opposed to it. You want to be hands‑on with code but only for half of your time, get in early on designs, and produce interface descriptions as a basis for discussion.

It matters how your code looks. You enjoy feedback and are prepared to give feedback or to listen. You should be a good writer, speaker, and listener, and explain and justify your designs, run with others' ideas, and learn what you don’t understand quickly.

Responsibilities

• Build relationships with team members and direct reports, while cultivating a culture of collaboration, innovation, and fun.
• Maintain effective communication channels within our office and with consultants throughout the broader organization.
• Provide technical oversight and architectural support to junior development team members.
• Firefight from the trenches when things go poorly while maintaining a positive attitude and capturing lessons to learn.
• Handle complexity, ambiguity, and shifting priorities with ease and play the role needed for project success.
• Advocate for and maintain an interest in the technologies we work with while understanding they may not be the most challenging or complex.

Qualifications

• 5+ years experience with a modern language such as Java, C#, etc.
• Broad knowledge of web application development.
• General knowledge of cloud computing.
• Experience that helps you tell simple trade-offs from hard problems.
• Ability to think strategically and tactically to solve problems in a fast‑paced and often changing environment.
• Proactive attitude with a focus on leading by example in a matrixed environment.
• Desire to be part of a new, young, and growing office in which you will impact direction and share in the growing pains.
• Bachelor's Degree or higher.
• Nice to haves include management experience, experience with Salesforce.com, Salesforce.com certifications.
