Our client's Next Lead Developer will be a hands-on technical leader for their flagship product leading modernization across the company, owning complex work end-to-end—from estimation and solution design through implementation, testing, and production support—while raising quality via standards, peer review, and technical oversight. This person thrives in the details, can independently design and prototype solutions that reduce codebase complexity and manual validation, and can modernize a mixed stack (existing .NET services plus newer React portals and emerging technologies) without sacrificing reliability. IMS is at an inflection point as we operationalize agentic development workflows and internal automation to accelerate delivery, so the ideal fit is a pragmatic builder who can architect the “how,” dive into the code to execute, and lead effectively across a distributed India + North America team while aligning with US working hours.
