What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer Technical Lead position at Moonshot Solutions?
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Our client is a profitable, long-standing SaaS platform serving thousands of business users across the U.S. They are entering a major modernization and growth phase and are seeking a hands-on VP of Engineering / Lead Developer to take full ownership of engineering, elevate delivery, and guide the next generation of the product.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a stable SaaS business with real revenue, real customers, and a clear vision — while also being empowered to rebuild, modernize, and scale the platform with autonomy.
WHAT YOU’LL LEAD
The incoming leader will own both day-to-day development and long-term technology direction, including:
- Writing high-quality, efficient production code and setting the technical standard
- Leading and mentoring a small distributed engineering team
- Bringing predictability, clarity, and accuracy to estimates, project planning, and delivery
- Steering architecture decisions and modernizing the existing codebase
- Owning application reliability, security, and performance as user growth continues
- Partnering directly with executive leadership to prioritize initiatives and roadmap investments
- Guiding a large-scale platform modernization currently underway
You will be inheriting a strong foundation with significant upside — including a maturing V4 rebuild, a committed customer base, and major opportunities to drive quality, velocity, and engineering discipline.
KEY TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT
We’re looking for someone comfortable leading and building in an environment that includes:
- .NET Core (v8) / MVC
- SQL & PostgreSQL
- Azure (cloud security)
- React
- REST APIs / Integrations
Experience navigating both legacy code and modern frameworks is essential.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
The ideal candidate brings:
- 10 years of professional software development experience
- Strong experience shipping SaaS products at scale
- Proven leadership capabilities — mentoring, coaching, establishing processes
- Ability to translate business priorities into clear technical plans
- A reputation for dependable, predictable delivery
- Strength in architecture, systems thinking, and modernization
- An ownership mindset — someone energized by taking something good and making it great
Bonus points for experience with: AI-driven features, POS integrations, SSO, workflow systems, or high-volume transactional applications.
WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
This opportunity offers the best of both worlds:
- Stability: profitable, established, long-tenured customer base
- Impact: full ownership of engineering and technical direction
- Challenge: modernization, technical debt reduction, and delivery transformation
- Growth: platform expansion, new features, and a multi-year product roadmap
- Upside: potential equity pathway for the right long-term leader
You’ll step into a role where your leadership, organization, and technical strength immediately matter.
HOW TO APPLY
If you’re a SENIOR engineering leader who still loves to code — and you’re excited by the idea of modernizing and scaling a real SaaS platform — we’d love to connect.
Please apply directly or reach out for a confidential conversation. The President would LOVE to be able to start the new year with a new partner on their team!
