[Hiring] Technical Lead, Core Applications @Lime

Role Description

Lime is seeking a Technical Lead to help shape the future of our core applications and technical ecosystem. This role is responsible for driving architecture, strategy, governance, and execution across the platforms that power how Lime employees collaborate and get work done.

As a Technical Lead, you will operate at the intersection of technology, business processes, and organizational scale. You will be expected to understand not only how individual platforms function, but how systems across the company interact, integrate, and evolve together.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will:

• Lead the technical direction of Lime's Core Applications ecosystem, shaping architecture, integration strategy, platform governance, and long-term design decisions that support scalable and resilient business systems.
• Serve as the senior technical escalation point for Core Applications, bringing clarity to complex issues, guiding solution decisions, and helping the team move quickly through ambiguity.
• Drive complex cross-functional initiatives from early discovery through implementation, balancing business priorities, technical constraints, security requirements, and user experience considerations along the way.
• Design and deliver automations, integrations, and custom solutions that streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve how business processes operate at scale.
• Build a strong understanding of how enterprise systems connect across the broader technology landscape and use that perspective to identify simplification opportunities, reduce operational friction, and improve end-to-end effectiveness.
• Establish and evolve technical standards, support models, and governance practices that improve consistency, maintainability, and reliability across the Core Applications environment.
• Act as a player-coach for the team by mentoring engineers and administrators, sharing technical context, and staying hands-on in design, troubleshooting, and execution where needed.
• Bring experience with enterprise AI and automation to identify and implement practical use cases within Core Applications that improve productivity, reduce manual work, and create measurable business value.
• Help introduce enterprise AI capabilities responsibly by reinforcing reusable patterns, sound governance, and adoption practices that make new solutions supportable and safe to scale.
• Participate in a shared on-call rotation supporting production systems, including occasional after-hours, weekend, and holiday coverage, with responsibility for responding to critical alerts, coordinating escalations to restore service, and documenting issues to help prevent recurrence.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience administering, engineering, or architecting enterprise SaaS platforms and business systems.
• Extensive experience designing and delivering integrations, workflow automations, and technical solutions that solve real business problems and hold up over time.
• Strong scripting and automation skills, with the judgment to use APIs, tooling, and custom solutions in ways that are secure, supportable, and appropriate for the environment.
• Deep understanding of enterprise application architecture, system design, identity concepts, and SaaS governance, with the ability to make sound decisions across a connected systems landscape.
• Proven ability to lead large cross-functional efforts, bringing structure to ambiguity and keeping stakeholders aligned across competing priorities and changing requirements.
• Strong ability to move between long-term planning and hands-on execution, whether shaping strategy, reviewing design choices, or diving into technical work when needed.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to balance business needs, technical constraints, and operational realities while working effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Practical experience with enterprise AI and automation, including the ability to identify useful opportunities, evaluate fit, and help introduce new capabilities in a supportable and responsible way.

Requirements

• Understanding of how to build secure, scalable frameworks for AI-generated code and enforce data privacy guardrails across the corporate environment.
• Ability to translate manual, heavy-lifting business workflows into automated, AI-assisted solutions that drive measurable ROI.

Benefits

• Comprehensive Health & Wellness: A choice of medical, dental, and vision plans. Company-paid life and disability insurance and company-funded mental health benefits.
• Financial & Retirement Planning: 401(k) plan with both pre-tax and Roth options, and access to a Health Savings Account (HSA) with a monthly company contribution.
• Family & Fertility Support: Paid parental leave for birthing and non-birthing parents, plus fertility and family-forming benefits.
• Paid Time Off: Unlimited vacation, paid leaves, and 10 company holidays.
• Unique Lime Perks: Complimentary use of Lime vehicles in participating cities, a monthly phone allowance, dedicated learning and development days, and access to perks including One Medical, Wellhub, and Headspace.
