[Hiring] Engineering Lead @Phoenix Oversight Group LLC

Role Description

We are hiring the engineering leader who builds an organization that delivers both speed and quality: multiple cross-functional development teams modernizing a federal home loan benefit platform while sustaining the 20-year-old system it replaces.

What You'll Own

• The engineering organization.
• Delivery you put your name on.
• A quality system, not a QA gate.
• Test automation as a craft.
• The monthly release drumbeat.
• Dual-stack engineering.
• Engineering standards that outlast you.
• AI-native development at team scale.
• The talent engine.

AI-Native Engineering at Team Scale

AI is part of how PhoenixTeam works. This role is about making an entire engineering organization genuinely better with AI tools.

What Great Looks Like

• The cadence held.
• The regression suite earned trust.
• Quality metrics are boring in the best way.
• Teams flex without drama.
• AI lifted the organization measurably.
• Both stacks are healthy.
• The bench is stronger.
• The customer asks for more.

What You Bring

• A multi-team delivery record.
• Hands-on credibility.
• A quality system you built.
• Federal delivery experience.
• Metrics fluency.
• AI-forward leadership.
• Customer-facing composure.
• Talent judgment.
• U.S.-based, and able to obtain and maintain a federal Public Trust clearance.

Helpful, Not Required

• Salesforce delivery leadership, or leadership of teams on a comparable configuration-first enterprise platform.
• Deep background in test automation frameworks and strategy.
• Experience running legacy sustainment and modernization in parallel, or decommissioning a production system.
• Familiarity with 508 accessibility compliance in delivery.
• Mortgage or housing finance experience is not required.

Leadership Expectations

This is an organizational leadership role with a hands-on soul. You own outcomes across multiple teams, which means your leverage comes through leads, standards, and systems rather than personal output.

You'll Probably Love This Role If...

• You are the leader whose teams ship on a rhythm others find implausible.
• You think a public, measured quality bar is a gift.
• You would rather build a delivery machine than inherit one.
• You like customers in the room.
• You are genuinely energized by leading engineers through the AI shift.

This May Not Be the Role for You If...

• You lead from dashboards and status meetings.
• You treat quality as the QA team's job rather than an engineering outcome you own.
• You negotiate quality bars down when schedules get tight.
• You hide delivery risk from customers until it becomes undeniable.
• You prefer stable, fixed teams and find flexing around the work disruptive.
• You view AI as a novelty rather than an engineering capability.
• You stopped learning when you became senior.

Why PhoenixTeam

• We are practitioners, not a staffing shop.
• Your leadership has visible consequences.
• Direct customer access.
• You build the machine.
• AI-native is practice, not positioning.
• Fully remote, U.S.-based, permanently.
• Competitive salary and 100% employer-paid medical insurance.
• Mission you can explain at dinner.

Position Requirements

• Full-time W-2 employment with PhoenixTeam.
• Must be based in the United States.
• Fully remote.
• Work supports a federal civilian agency.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain the required federal Public Trust clearance.
