About the Opportunity

We are looking for a Team Lead who enjoys helping engineers do their best work and still wants to build software. You will join as a Team Lead from day one, spending about 70% of your time on hands-on C# and .NET development and 30% coaching the team and guiding delivery. As the team grows, you will have room to take on more leadership responsibilities.

You will help guide the team's growth by developing engineers, establishing effective code review standards, and improving how the team plans and delivers its work. The role offers a clear path to dedicated management while allowing you to remain hands-on with technical work.

Why Jacksonville?

Grow your career at ADG and make coastal Northeast Florida home. Jacksonville, Florida offers 22 miles of beaches, the scenic St. Johns River, extensive parks and trails, and a vibrant arts and dining scene. Florida residents also benefit from the absence of state personal income tax, adding to the appeal of living and working here. Help shape ADG’s next generation of software while enjoying a city with plenty of opportunities to unwind, connect, and pursue your interests beyond the workday.

What You Do

• Write and ship production code in C# and .NET, working across SQL Server, front-end development, integrations, and ADG’s content platform.
• Coach engineers through regular feedback, development conversations, and code reviews that help them improve.
• Help the team estimate work, manage capacity, and deliver on its commitments.
• Work with colleagues across the business to understand priorities and solve problems before they slow the team down.
• Contribute to engineering standards and help shape how the team works as it grows.

Required Experience

• At least six years of professional C# and .NET development experience, including recent hands-on production coding.
• Experience guiding other engineers through feedback, mentoring, or technical leadership.
• Working knowledge of SQL Server, front-end development, and system integrations.
• Ability to plan technical work, make sound decisions, and communicate clearly with the people affected by those decisions.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field preferred. In lieu of a degree, candidates with at least six years of progressively responsible software development experience demonstrating the technical expertise, mentoring abilities, and team leadership capabilities required for this role will be considered.

How You Work

You will be leading a growing team while still contributing code. We’re looking for someone who can:

• Meet an engineer where they are, give candid and useful feedback, and make the time to help them grow.
• Explain technical decisions to engineers and colleagues outside engineering, then listen when they raise a concern or a different idea.
• Look for the cause behind delivery problems, ask good questions, and improve the process with the team.

Preferred Experience

• Experience leading a small engineering team or serving as a player-coach.
• Experience improving code review, estimation, or delivery practices.
• Experience with content platforms and client-facing integrations.
• Interest in growing into a dedicated engineering management role.

Compensation and Benefits

The base salary is $120,000–$150,000, depending on experience. Benefits include a 401(k) match, profit sharing, health, dental and vision coverage, paid vacation, flex time, gym membership, and company-funded training.

Work Location

This full-time role is based in Jacksonville, Florida, and begins onsite so you can work closely with the team while learning about our platform and clients. Once you're established in the role, the schedule moves to hybrid, with two remote days per week.
