Atlas Invest (Backed by BlackRock) | Team Lead

On behalf of Atlas Invest (Backed by BlackRock), SD Solutions is looking for a talented Team Lead to own a critical product area: an end-to-end back-office platform combined with a marketplace connecting borrowers, brokers, and debt investors.

This is not a traditional engineering leadership role. You will lead an AI-first engineering team, where coding agents are first-class contributors and human engineers act as architects, reviewers, and quality gatekeepers. The pace is fast, the expectations are high, and the bar for quality is uncompromising.

SD Solutions is a staffing company operating globally. Contact us to get more details about the benefits we offer.

Responsibilities

Lead an AI-First Engineering Team

• Design and operate a development environment where AI coding agents generate a significant portion of the codebase.
• Define workflows where humans guide, review, and validate — rather than manually implementing everything.
• Continuously improve how AI is used across development, testing, and delivery.

Own Delivery of a Mission-Critical Platform

• Lead development of a back-office system for managing the full lifecycle of real estate bridging loans.
• Lead development of a marketplace platform connecting borrowers, brokers, and debt investors.
• Take full ownership of architecture through to production.

Drive Engineering Quality

• Establish and enforce high standards for code quality, testing, and system reliability.
• Ensure rapid AI-driven development does not compromise stability or user experience.

Manage and Grow a Team

• Lead a team of 3–6 engineers.
• Mentor engineers to evolve into AI-native builders.
• Create a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Operate with a Startup Mindset

• Move fast with minimal bureaucracy.
• Take ownership across the full stack.
• Make pragmatic decisions, balancing speed and scalability.

Ensure Security & Compliance

• Build systems with data security and compliance as first-class concerns.
• Ensure adherence to best practices for handling sensitive financial data.

Requirements

Must-Have Experience

• Minimum 6 years of software development experience.
• Minimum 3 years in a team lead/engineering manager position.
• Experience managing a team of 3+ developers.

What We’re Looking For (Core Profile)

• You think AI-First, not just AI-assisted. You have real hands-on experience with coding agents in production workflows and are excited to build systems where most code is AI-generated.
• You maintain a very high bar for quality — even in fast-paced environments.
• Proven ability to lead and grow strong engineering teams with a culture of ownership.
• You thrive in startup environments — comfortable with ambiguity, minimal structure, and high ownership.
• Technically strong and hands-on — able to dive deep into system design, architecture, debugging, and code reviews.
• Strong understanding of security and compliance, especially with sensitive financial data.

Advantages (Nice-to-Haves):

• Previous experience in fintech, real estate finance, or lending platforms.
• Strong background with Python backend and modern React/Next.js frontend development.
• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform.
• Demonstrated success implementing AI-heavy development processes in previous roles.
• Experience building a marketplace or two-sided platforms.
