Technical Lead

Virtasant•Austin, TX

About The Position

Virtasant is a global technology services company with a network of over 4,000 professionals across 130+ countries. We specialise in cloud architecture, engineering, and transformation, helping enterprises deliver at scale while building internal capability and reducing third-party dependency. We work with ambitious, forward-thinking organizations to solve real-world challenges through hands-on execution, deep technical expertise, and a delivery-led approach. We’re looking for a Technical Lead to take ownership of delivery, coordination, and operational execution across a customer support and operations environment. This role is closer to a Technical Program Manager / Technical Delivery Lead than a pure hands-on engineering position, while still requiring a strong technical background to operate credibly with engineering teams. The role is responsible for owning workload management, prioritisation, and delivery across two teams, ensuring production support operates smoothly and effectively. You will act as the central point of coordination across stakeholders, vendors, and engineers, with accountability for outcomes rather than individual task execution. While this is not a hands-on engineering-first role, the successful candidate must have sufficient technical depth to understand issues, guide decisions, challenge assumptions, and step in where necessary to maintain continuity and quality.

Requirements

Strong technical background, ideally with Python and cloud-based systems
Experience working in production support or operations-heavy environments
Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Proven experience owning delivery, prioritisation, and execution across technical teams
Ability to operate as a Technical PM / Delivery Lead with engineering credibility
Experience coordinating workload across multiple teams
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
Comfortable working with third-party vendors and external partners
Able to balance delivery pressure, technical constraints, and business priorities
