Genesis10 is currently seeking a Team Lead, Integrations for a direct hire opportunity with a Financial Services Corporation located in Irving, TX. The Lead Integration Engineer will oversee the day-to-day work of the integration engineering team and ensure solutions that are built match the respective designs. This role sits between the Integration Solutions Architect and the engineering team, where the Architect creates the design and the Lead is accountable for the quality, consistency, and completeness of the implementation. The ideal candidate is a strong .NET and Azure practitioner who still writes and reviews code regularly, but who is equally comfortable coaching engineers and holding the team to a high documentation standard. This is a working technical lead role, not a purely people-management role.
Responsibilities: - Oversee the work of Senior Integration Engineers and Integration Engineers, assigning and sequencing implementation work against architectural designs and sprint commitments
- Track team throughput and quality - surfacing blockers, skill gaps, or capacity risks to the Architect and IT leadership
- Mentor engineers on .NET craftsmanship, Azure integration patterns, and troubleshooting technique; run knowledge-sharing sessions on recurring issues
- Act as the first escalation point for implementation-level technical questions before they go to the Architect
- Perform code reviews on all integration/engineering work prior to merge/release, checking for correctness, security, performance, and adherence to team coding standards
- Serve as the quality gate between engineering output and production
- Identify recurring code-quality issues across the team and turn them into coding standards, checklists, or automated lint/analyzer rules
- Verify that implementations correctly apply the integration design patterns specified by the architecture
- Maintain a living reference of approved pattern implementations (reference code, snippets, examples) the team can build from consistently
- Ensure every integration solution ships with complete, audit-ready documentation
- Define and enforce the team's documentation checklist/definition-of-done
- Keep architecture and Lucid chart diagrams synchronized with what is deployed
- Continue to design and write .NET code and Azure configuration directly for complex, high-risk, or exemplar pieces of work
- Lead root-cause investigation on significant production incidents
- Partner with the Architect on estimation, technical risk assessment, and sequencing for upcoming integration initiatives
- Contribute to and enforce infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD standards
Requirements: Leadership & Quality Assurance: - 2 years of Team Leadership experience formally or informally leading engineers, assigning work, reviewing output, and being accountable for team quality
- Demonstrated track record running code reviews at scale, including giving direct, actionable feedback to engineers
- Experience defining or enforcing a definition-of-done that includes documentation, not just working code
Integration & Messaging: - Deep, hands-on experience with Azure Service Bus, Event Grid, and/or Event Hubs
- Configuring, securing, and reviewing APIs built by others within Azure API Management (APIM)
- Building and reviewing orchestration workflows in Azure Logic Apps
- Expert-level fluency with Integration Design Patterns
Core Azure Platform: - Container Apps, App Service, Azure Functions, Virtual Machines
- Virtual Networks (VNets), Private Endpoints, NSGs, Application Gateway, Azure Front Door
- Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, Cosmos DB
Data & Databases: - Azure SQL, including reviewing query and schema design decisions

- Identity & Access: App Registrations
- Authentication & Authorization: OAuth flows
Infrastructure as Code & DevOps: - IaC with Terraform; able to review and approve infrastructure changes
- Azure DevOps pipeline design, branch policies, and mandatory-review gate configuration
Observability & Monitoring: - Application Monitoring using Application Insights
- Log Management and Analytics
- Platform Monitoring using Azure Monitor
- Query & Analysis using KQL (Kusto Query Language)
- Alerting, dashboards, and validating solution observability
Application Development: - Minimum 8 years of solid .NET coding experience (C#, ASP.NET Core, background/worker services)
- Expert knowledge of common design and patterns including .NET patterns, libraries and Azure services
Documentation & Communication: - Strong technical writing skills
- Visual Modeling with Lucid chart / Azure architecture diagramming
- Comfortable delivering direct feedback in code review and 1:1 settings
- Experience working with Jira, including grooming and sequencing work for a team
Demonstrated Track Record & Mindset: - Accountability: Treats the team's output as their own
- Consistency: Applies review standards evenly across engineers
- Coaching Orientation: Uses code review as a teaching moment
- Escalation Judgment: Knows the difference between an implementation fix and a design flaw
Experience & Education: - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience
- 8 years of professional software engineering experience, including 3 years focused on cloud-based integration work
- Prior experience reviewing or leading the work of other engineers required
Desired skills: - Graph Database: Experience with graph database design and implementation (e.g., Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Gremlin)
- Data Integration: Azure Data Factory
- Analytics Platform: Microsoft Fabric
- Microsoft Power Platform: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Dataverse
