What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on technical lead role at a company building software for engineering, manufacturing, and construction workflows. The engineer will own software architecture and delivery across APIs, integration services, data infrastructure, and internal applications that connect systems such as BIM, CAD, PLM, MES, and ERP. The role suits a senior C#/.NET developer who wants to retain deep coding involvement while providing technical direction rather than moving into people management.

Why we read it this way (5)
The alt SOC (11-3021, Computer and Information Systems Managers) is a genuine runner-up: the posting explicitly frames this as a technical lead with architecture ownership and direction-setting over external partners, but then equally explicitly says it is NOT a management role and the person must remain hands-on — so 15-1252 Software Developers wins.
Salary is stated as 'up to $180,000', so the figure is treated as a ceiling; min and max are both set to $180,000 to reflect the single quoted number.
AWS is listed as 'ideally' (preferred), not a hard gate; other major cloud platforms are noted as alternatives.
BIM, CAD, PLM, MES, ERP, Revit, SOLIDWORKS, and Ignition MES all appear in context sections describing relevant backgrounds or advantageous experience — none are gated requirements.
The posting invites candidates at Lead, Principal, Staff, or Senior level; seniority is assessed as Senior based on the 7-year experience floor and hands-on IC scope, despite the 'Lead' title framing.
