What We Need 

We’re looking for a Team Lead, Software Engineering who thrives on being a player-coach: someone who codes daily, solves complex technical challenges, and leads by example, while also guiding and growing a small team. This is a hands-on role where you’ll architect, design, and implement systems, set direction, and drive projects forward in close collaboration with product, operations, and other engineering teams. 

What You Will Do 

• Actively design, build, and review code in C# .NET, setting the standard for technical excellence. 
• Lead a team of engineers by mentoring, coaching, and supporting career growth while contributing directly to the codebase. 
• Drive architecture and design decisions, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and performant. 
• Collaborate with Product, Operations, and cross-functional engineering teams to shape and deliver project roadmaps. 
• Break down ambiguous challenges into actionable engineering work and help the team deliver reliably. 
• Implement and advocate for best practices in testing, CI/CD, observability, and automation. 
• Practice and champion AI-assisted coding techniques to boost velocity and reduce developer toil. 
• Hire, performance manage, and promote engineers—building a culture of accountability, growth, and excellence. 

What You Have 

At Synapse Health we’ve intentionally built a culture of kindness, collaboration, and creativity, and we consider those qualities to be table stakes for any new team member. Additional requirements include: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience. 
• Strong, hands-on experience with C# .NET (preferred) or other object-oriented languages. 
• 7+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 2+ years in a leadership or team lead role. 
• Proven ability to balance active coding with leading a team, including technical design and delivery oversight. 
• Demonstrated experience architecting and designing software solutions in cloud environments (Azure preferred; AWS or GCP acceptable). 
• Experience with relational databases, ORM frameworks, and SQL performance tuning. 
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, test automation, observability, and feature flagging. 
• Understanding of engineering best practices for privacy and security compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, or similar). 

What Sets You Apart 

• Coder at Heart: You stay close to the code and use it as a way to teach, mentor, and lead by example. 
• Hands-On Leader: You can balance daily coding with guiding a team toward delivery. 
• Architect & Builder: You see the big picture, design for scale, and still dive deep into implementation. 
• Cross-Functional Partner: You collaborate seamlessly with product, design, and operations. 
• Outcome-Oriented: You connect engineering work to business value, keeping the team focused on impact. 

What Sets Us Apart 

It’s no secret that most of us work to provide for ourselves and those we love, but just because we have to work doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it. In fact, at Synapse Health, we insist on it! We want our team members to thrive personally and professionally, which is why our benefits include: 

• Professional growth opportunities with compelling career paths 
• Healthy work-life balance culture with paid time off (PTO)
