Backend Technical Lead

ImagineX is a tech company that deploys AI-assisted teams to build and secure mission-critical enterprise solutions with our clients – spanning software, data, and AI. Structured like a software company, not a traditional consultancy, we blend deep technical expertise with authentic values, achieving world-class satisfaction (NPS 91). Our dedicated teams specialize in software, data, and AI across the U.S. and LATAM, bridging the gap between boutique agility and enterprise scale.

We're hiring a Backend Tech Lead who combines strong technical depth with the ability to guide, mentor, and elevate a team. You’ll lead backend development efforts, drive architectural decisions, and help the team navigate complexity with confidence. You’ll also bring a genuine curiosity for AI and a passion for building systems that are robust, testable, and future‑ready. This is a 100% remote role (must be located in the US), full-time with competitive salary, bonus, 401K, and more.

What You’ll Do

• Lead backend engineering efforts across design, development, testing, and deployment.
• Break down complex technical challenges into clear, actionable work for the team.
• Foster a collaborative environment where every engineer feels engaged and empowered.
• Partner closely with product and business stakeholders to understand the why behind what we build.
• Drive best practices in test automation, code quality, and system reliability.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineers of varying experience levels.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and long‑term technical strategy.
• Explore and integrate AI‑driven capabilities where they add meaningful value.

What You Bring

Soft Skills

• Collaborative mindset — you actively engage the entire team and create space for every voice.
• Curiosity — you seek to understand the business case, not just the technical requirements.
• Ability to handle complexity — you simplify, decompose, and guide others through ambiguity.

Technical Skills

• 10+ years of backend engineering experience with a track record of delivering production systems.
• Test automation expertise — this is essential.
• AI experience — professional experience is ideal; personal projects or demonstrated passion are also valuable.
• C# experience — nice to have, not required.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, APIs, cloud services, and backend architecture.
• Ability to evaluate tradeoffs and make sound technical decisions.

Who Thrives Here

• Engineers who love solving hard problems with smart, collaborative people.
• Leaders who elevate others rather than operate as lone experts.
• Builders who want to understand the business impact behind every line of code.
• Curious minds who see AI as an opportunity, not a buzzword.
