This role requires someone who has hired developers, established development standards, implemented processes that improved output quality, and coached team members through meaningful growth.\nYou'll inherit a small team that needs experienced leadership to level up. The right person for this role has been in the trenches, knows what good looks like, and can articulate a clear path to get there. You're still technical enough to architect solutions, review code meaningfully, and step in when complex problems arise-but your primary value is multiplying the effectiveness of others.\nOur work spans multiple platforms and technical environments: Shopify and BigCommerce for ecommerce, WordPress for content-driven sites, .NET for custom applications, and increasingly, data processing and transformation work that supports our marketing intelligence capabilities. You don't need to be an expert in every stack, but you need working fluency across them and genuine depth in at least one.\nAI-assisted development is central to how we work and how we expect to grow. You should be actively using AI coding tools in your own workflow and have a clear perspective on how to train and enable a team to maximize their output through these tools. This isn't about replacing developers-it's about multiplying their effectiveness and accelerating the entire team's capabilities.\nThis is a fast-paced agency environment where communication comes from multiple directions simultaneously-clients, project managers, developers, leadership. The ability to context-switch effectively, prioritize decisively, and maintain clarity amid competing demands is non-negotiable.\nThis is a hands-on leadership role with significant client interaction. You'll join sales calls as the technical voice, translate business requirements into technical specifications, and own the delivery quality of everything the development team produces.\nWhat You'll Be Accountable For\nTeam Development & Performance\nBuild a development team capable of delivering complex projects on time and within scope across multiple technology platforms\nEstablish clear performance expectations, provide regular feedback, and manage underperformance directly\nCreate career development paths and mentorship structures that retain strong talent\nImplement code review processes, QA standards, and documentation practices that elevate output quality\nLead the team's adoption of AI-assisted development practices-identifying the right tools, establishing effective workflows, and training developers to maximize output quality and velocity\nTechnical Leadership\nArchitect solutions across diverse platforms: ecommerce (Shopify, BigCommerce), CMS (WordPress), custom applications (.NET), and data transformation projects\nWrite technical specifications detailed enough for developers to execute without constant clarification\nMake sound build-vs-buy decisions and evaluate technical tradeoffs across different technology stacks\nOwn site performance, security posture, and technical debt management across the client portfolio\nStay current with platform updates, emerging tools, and development practices-particularly AI-assisted coding tools-and translate that knowledge into team capabilities\nClient & Project Delivery\nServe as the technical lead on sales calls and scoping conversations across all service lines\nTranslate client business objectives into development requirements regardless of platform\nManage client expectations around timelines, complexity, and tradeoffs\nEnsure projects deliver on time with minimal scope creep or rework\nOperational Excellence\nManage your own time effectively in an environment with competing priorities and interruptions from multiple stakeholders\nMaintain visibility into all active development work and surface risks before they become problems\nBalance strategic initiatives (process improvement, team development) with tactical demands (client escalations, urgent requests)\nModel the communication discipline you expect from the team-proactive updates, clear status, early escalation\nYou Should Apply If You Have\nManagement Experience (Required)\n4+ years leading development teams of 3+ people in an agency or client services environment\nDirect experience hiring developers and building teams-not just inheriting them\nTrack record of improving team performance through process, standards, or coaching\nComfort with difficult conversations: performance issues, missed expectations, workload balancing\nTechnical Breadth & Depth (Required)\n7+ years in web development with strong fundamentals\nWorking knowledge of multiple platforms: ecommerce (Shopify, BigCommerce), CMS (WordPress), and custom development (.NET or similar)\nGenuine expertise in at least one of these environments-deep enough to architect complex solutions and mentor others\nExperience with data processing, ETL workflows, or API integrations that move data between systems\nUnderstanding of database optimization, version control best practices, and CI/CD pipelines\nAbility to review code critically and identify architectural issues before they become problems\nAI-Assisted Development (Required)\nActive, fluent use of AI coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, or similar) in your own development workflow\nPerspective on where AI accelerates development and where it creates risk\nExperience or strong interest in training others on effective AI tool adoption\nUnderstanding of how AI changes code review, documentation, and quality assurance practices\nCommunication & Time Management (Required)\nProven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment with communication coming from clients, project managers, leadership, and team members simultaneously\nExperience presenting technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and clients\nWritten communication strong enough to produce clear technical specifications and documentation\nProactive communication style-you surface blockers and risks early rather than hoping they resolve\nDisciplined approach to time management: you protect focus time, batch similar work, and don't let urgent requests crowd out important work\nThis Role Is Probably Not Right If\nYour management experience is limited to delegating tasks or leading projects rather than leading people\nYou haven't hired and onboarded developers before\nYou prefer to code full-time and see management as a distraction\nYou struggle to explain technical decisions in business terms\nYou avoid difficult conversations about performance or quality\nYou're skeptical of AI tools or haven't integrated them into your workflow\nYou thrive in slower-paced environments with predictable workloads and clear boundaries between responsibilities\nContext-switching drains you rather than energizes you\nCompensation & Benefits\nCompetitive base salary commensurate with experience\nSimple IRA with 100% company match on first 3%\nGroup health, dental, and life insurance with company contribution\nFlexible (self-managed) vacation policy\nFlexible schedule with option for half-day Fridays\nPaid office closure from Christmas Eve through New Year's Day\nRemote work stipend\nAnnual wellness stipend\nOngoing learning and development budget\nPaid parental leave\nAbout LimeLight Marketing\nLimeLight is a digital marketing agency specializing in ecommerce, with capabilities spanning paid media, email
