Velocity Developer Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
AMG | Association Management is seeking a Lead Software Engineer responsible for software delivery on BUURT and related platforms. This hands-on engineering role involves writing code daily, leading a team of developers, and ensuring the engineering processes are audit-ready while balancing product delivery with engineering maturity.
Responsibilities:
• Take ownership of the BUURT platform by assessing current state, identify gaps, and help the teams drive the remaining rollout to completion.
• Own engineering execution for BUURT and related platforms, ensuring commitments are realistic, delivery timelines are understood, and development resources remain focused on the highest-priority work.
• Stabilize and refine features already in production; address technical debt, defects, and performance issues accumulated during initial development.
• Partner with the Product Manager to define and prioritize the remaining BUURT roadmap, balancing new feature delivery with production quality.
• Establish a sustainable release cadence for BUURT - predictable, tested, and documented.
• Ensure BUURT is architected to scale as VCP expands to additional companies and communities.
• Help own the technical vision for BUURT and related applications - maintain the standards and make design decisions that will shape how the team builds going forward.
• Develop and maintain a deep understanding of the platform architecture while ensuring knowledge is documented and shared across the engineering team.
• Evaluate and recommend tools, frameworks, and technologies to support product scalability and team productivity.
• Serve as the primary escalation point for complex technical problems and architectural decisions.
• Assess the current state of VCP's development environment and maintain a practical, audit-ready SDLC appropriate for a team in active product delivery and pursuing SOC 2 compliance.
• Follow change management controls - code review requirements, approval workflows, and deployment gates that create a documented, auditable trail of every change to production.
• Follow the logical access controls for the development environment - who can commit, who can deploy, and who can access production systems - aligned with SOC 2 least-privilege requirements.
• Follow and Implement version control best practices, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment standards that support both delivery velocity and compliance evidence collection.
• Build a quality assurance culture - establish testing expectations (unit, integration, regression) and make quality a shared team responsibility.
• Maintain documentation of architecture decisions, technical standards, and operational runbooks to satisfy SOC 2 evidence requirements and reduce reliance on tribal knowledge.
• Drive incremental process maturity - prioritize practices that deliver stability, velocity, and audit-readiness at VCP's current stage.
• Write, review, and ship production code daily - this is not a purely managerial role.
• Lead development of core features and complex components, particularly those requiring senior-level expertise.
• Contribute to full-stack development using React, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.
• Participate in sprint planning, estimation, and backlog refinement as the primary technical voice.
• Lead a team of software developers, including on- and offshore resources.
• Set clear expectations, provide regular feedback, and support career development for direct reports.
• Partner with the Product Manager to align development capacity with product priorities.
• Remove blockers, coordinate cross-team dependencies, and keep delivery on track.
• Foster a culture of engineering excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate closely with the Product Manager to translate roadmap initiatives into technical plans and sprint-ready work.
• Provide technical input during product discovery - scope estimates, feasibility assessments, and risk identification.
• Communicate technical trade-offs and constraints clearly to non-technical stakeholders and leadership.
• Ensure engineering decisions are grounded in product goals and user needs.
• Own code quality, test coverage, and production reliability for all platforms under scope.
• Embed security practices throughout the development lifecycle - input validation, secrets management, dependency scanning, and vulnerability remediation - aligned with SOC 2 security controls.
• Define and maintain CI/CD pipelines, deployment standards, and release processes that generate audit evidence.
• Monitor application performance and proactively address system health and technical debt.
• Support the organization's SOC 2 audit readiness by ensuring application-layer controls are documented, tested, and operating effectively.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Seven (7) or more years of professional software engineering experience, with at least two (2) years in a lead or senior capacity.
• Strong proficiency in React, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python - you write this code, you do not just oversee it.
• Experience inheriting and improving in-progress codebases - comfortable taking ownership of code you did not write and making it better without breaking what works.
• Experience expanding and maturing software engineering processes within a growing organization - someone who has only worked inside mature engineering environments may struggle in this role.
• Demonstrated experience establishing SDLC practices from an early or immature baseline - this role will establish these processes at VCP, not inherit them.
• Working knowledge of security-conscious development practices: access controls, secrets management, change management, and audit logging.
• Experience leading or mentoring a development team, including offshore or distributed resources.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to product managers, stakeholders, and non-technical leadership.
• Track record of shipping product in fast-paced environments - including mid-rollout takeovers, stabilization efforts, and expanding engineering processes.
Preferred:
• Experience operating within a SOC 2 compliance program or building engineering controls in support of a security audit.
• Familiarity with SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria as they apply to software development - change management, logical access, and availability controls.
• Experience with property management, real estate, or PropTech platforms.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Codex, Claude Code, or similar).
• Experience integrating third-party APIs and building scalable or event-driven systems.
• Background in cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Experience in a high-growth environment where delivery speed and quality must coexist.
