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.
