Hiring: Tech Lead - ToolHound Company: Beacon Software Location: San Francisco, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-12 10:33:33 Target Skills & Keywords : .NET, AI, ASP.NET Core, AWS, C#, CI/CD, Embedded Systems, Kubernetes, LLM, MAUI, PostgreSQL, Python, Rails, React, SQL, SaaS, TypeScript, Xamarin About the job Required Skills: •Own the technical and product roadmap. Decide what gets built and why, in partnership with the GM and customers. Translate business priorities (retention, expansion, new verticals, operational leverage) into a sequenced engineering plan you're accountable for. •Drive everything technical. Architecture, code quality, security, data modeling, performance, release engineering, and the migration path. You set the bar and you'll make the final technical decision. •Ship AI that changes the business, not demos. Take the natural-language assistant and the broader AI surface from plan to production: evals, guardrails, tenant-safe tool use, and features customers feel. You know when to lean on a foundation model, when to fine-tune, and how to keep agentic workflows on the rails in a multi-tenant system. •Lead and grow the team. Mentor the current engineer, raise their ceiling, and establish the best practices. •Increase velocity and harden the codebase. Make shipping faster and safer: modernize the stack, tighten the SQL and data layer, invest in test coverage and automation, and pay down risk so the platform can carry far more weight than it does today. •Be the technical face of ToolHound. Earn the trust of operators and customers, set expectations, and communicate clearly in writing. •A genuine generalist ("jack of all trades"). You're T-shaped, deep in .NET now, but you pick up new languages, stacks, and clouds quickly and enjoy it. You can move across web, mobile, data, infra, and AI without waiting for permission, and you're energized (not threatened) by converging onto TypeScript/React, Go, Python, and AWS over time. •Cloud and SQL depth. You've designed, deployed, and operated real systems in the cloud, and can model, query, tune, and reason about production databases. Qualifications: •Vertical / B2B or industrial SaaS experience (asset management, inventory, field service, logistics, construction tech). •DevExpress reporting, multi-tenant SaaS architecture, or licensing systems. •Our Values at Beacon Software •Humility: We acknowledge that the path to getting to the right answer involves being wrong along the way. We have strong beliefs which are weakly held. We actively seek new ideas and believe we can learn from anyone at any time. •Honesty: We are truth seeking in our approach to business problems. Business is a repeat game and we believe that human relationships generate alpha. We understand that trust is earned over a lifetime and can be lost in an instant. •Hunger: We play to win. We hold ourselves to high standards and will not be outworked. We take pride in having a deep sense of responsibility to ourselves, each other, our partners, and our customers. We believe to whom much is given much is expected. •Horizon: We seek to build a generational software company. This will take decades. We manage our expectations and those of our partners to take advantage of the 8th wonder of the world - compounding growth. •To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Beacon Software uses Artificial Intelligence and AI-enabled tools to assist with screening, reviewing, organizing and highlighting profiles and applications that match the key requirements for each role. •Every application is reviewed by a member of our team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans. We use AI to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment. We are committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for every candidate.
