I’m putting together a small, remote technology team focused squarely on software development, and I’m looking for someone ready to step in as the team leader. Our day-to-day work centres on maintaining and updating a set of existing web and mobile applications rather than building brand-new products, so your knack for breathing new life into mature codebases is essential. You’ll guide 3–5 engineers, plan sprints, review pull requests, and still stay hands-on with the code. Our stack leans heavily on JavaScript/TypeScript (Node, React) with a few .NET microservices, all deployed through modern CI/CD pipelines to AWS. Familiarity with automated testing, performance tuning, and secure coding practices will set you up for quick wins. What I need from you right away: • Audit the current codebase and surface the highest-risk areas • Create a maintenance roadmap that balances quick fixes with strategic refactors • Lead the team through two production releases in the first six weeks, each with full changelogs and zero regressions • Leave behind clean documentation that keeps future work friction-free If you have a proven record of steering software maintenance projects, enjoy mentoring developers, and communicate clearly across time zones, let’s talk about how you’d tackle the first 90 days.

With over 20 years in software development and a proven record of leading distributed engineering teams, I am ready to step in and make an immediate impact. Your stack is familiar ground for me and I have a deep respect for the discipline of maintaining and evolving mature codebases well. My 90 day plan is straightforward. In the first month I audit the codebase, identify the highest risks, establish a sprint rhythm, and ship the first production release clean. In month two I deliver the second release on schedule and present a prioritised maintenance roadmap balancing quick wins with strategic refactors. In month three I lock in solid documentation, refine the process based on team feedback, and ensure every engineer has clear ownership and direction. I communicate clearly, mentor consistently, and write code that earns trust. Let's talk.
