Lead Application Modernization Engineer

About Us:

At Liatrio, we enable real transformation.

We help industry-leading enterprises break free from legacy systems and adopt AI that reshapes how teams build, deliver, and thrive at scale.

We partner directly with enterprise teams to embed AI-native practices into delivery– accelerating modernization, reducing risk, and shipping production-grade AI systems that set the standard for the industry.

Our people embed directly inside client organizations, leading hands-on AI enablement and transformations that reshape how entire enterprises build and operate at scale.

If you’re ready to lead real AI transformation, this is where you belong

Technical Delivery and Oversight

You'll own a defined portion of the technical scope — designing the architecture, doing the work, and leading your team through it. That looks like:

• Architecting technical solutions within your workstream — designing the approach, documenting tradeoffs, articulating it clearly to clients, and leading your team through implementation

 

• Designing and building cloud-native services from legacy systems — decomposing tightly coupled monoliths into APIs and services, migrating data, and keeping production running throughout

 

• Building full-stack, production-grade applications — frontend interfaces, backend services, APIs, and the integrations that connect them across complex enterprise environments

 

• Writing and reviewing code across multiple languages and paradigms — setting the technical standard for your workstream through your own work, not just through direction

 

• Designing event-driven and microservices architectures that can scale, evolve, and be operated by teams beyond the ones that built them

 

• Integrating AI and LLM capabilities into client applications — building agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and intelligent automation that ships to production and stays reliable

 

• Implementing CI/CD pipelines and delivery automation that give teams the confidence to ship frequently

 

• Making day-to-day architecture decisions within your scope and escalating the right ones to the account lead or architect when they have broader implications

 

• Identifying technical risk early and surfacing it clearly before it becomes a delivery problem

 

• Generating ideas, failing fast, and demonstrating with POCs

 

• Driving knowledge sharing in and out of client engagements

 

• Participating in business development

 

Team and People

• Lead a small team of engineers — organizing work, breaking down tasks, pairing on hard problems, and keeping the team moving

 

• Uplift engineers through code review, pairing, and day-to-day technical mentorship

 

• Mentor junior team members through 1:1s, feedback, and guiding technical growth




Stakeholder Communication

• Serve as a technical point of contact for your scope — representing the work clearly to client engineers and project stakeholders

 

• Keep account leaders and architects up to date on concerns, blockers, and changes

 

• Adapt quickly to change and shift focus as required to meet customer needs
