Software Developer Lead / Payroll

Role Summary The Development Lead owns delivery for Greenshades’ Payroll product line, leading a team of engineers responsible for building and evolving core payroll and tax functionality. This role combines hands-on senior-level technical contribution with people leadership, mentoring the team while partnering closely with Product Management to translate priorities into shipped, reliable software. Greenshades is moving increasingly AI-first across engineering, and this role is expected to actively use and champion AI-assisted development tools and practices as a core part of how the team works, not as an optional add-on. Responsibilities Lead day-to-day delivery for the Payroll development team, ensuring committed work ships on time and at a high quality bar. Contribute directly as a senior-level developer on complex Payroll and Tax features, setting the technical standard for the team. Mentor and uplevel engineers on the team, including code review, technical guidance, and career development. Partner closely with the Payroll Product Manager to translate roadmap priorities into scoped, sequenced engineering work. Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., AI coding assistants and agentic development workflows) as a standard part of daily engineering work, and drive adoption of these practices across the team. Evaluate and champion new AI-augmented engineering practices and tooling as Greenshades’ AI-first development approach continues to evolve. Partner with the Sustainability team to ensure smooth knowledge transfer of new Payroll features and to resolve production issues affecting payroll processing. Communicate technical tradeoffs, risks, and status clearly to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders. Other duties as assigned. Requirements 5+ years of experience building full-stack solutions using languages and frameworks such as C#, Angular, and SQL. 2+ years of experience mentoring, leading, and collaborating with others on projects and solutions. 2+ years of experience in HCM (Human Capital Management) software or a related domain. Hands-on experience with Git and Azure-based development workflows. Strong background in full-stack design and development, from database through UI. Experience with modern CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices. Experience designing and building Web API / REST interfaces. Genuine enthusiasm for AI-assisted and agentic software development practices, and a willingness to adopt and champion these tools as a core part of the job — this is not a role for someone resistant to AI-augmented engineering. Comfort operating with support from a dedicated Product Manager on prioritization, while still exercising sound engineering judgment day to day. This is a remote position.
