The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Industrial Systems Group is hiring a Lead Software Engineer in Chesapeake, VA.

• Role description

  Our technology stack is growing faster than our team, so Industrial Systems Group is bringing on a Lead Software Engineer to keep the architecture honest. The appeal is layered — $112,000 - $179,000, a hybrid rhythm, technology ownership, and an Industrial Systems Group crew that backs bold calls.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
  • Set the gRPC coding standards the rest of Industrial Systems Group engineering follows
  • Build TypeScript self-service tools so Chesapeake teams stop filing tickets for everything
  • Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Continuous Learning acceptance criteria
  • Containerize applications and manage deployments with gRPC and TypeScript
  • Own the data-driven edge cases in Industrial Systems Group's Continuous Learning billing nobody else wants to touch

  What You'll Bring

  • The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
  • A VA work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
  • Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
  • Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
  • A Chesapeake network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
  • 7 or more years steering technology projects end to end

  We built Industrial Systems Group in Chesapeake, VA to give technology teams the people-centered tools they actually deserve. Inclusion isn't a slogan here; it shapes how we hire, promote, and run every meeting.
