Technical Lead - Enterprise Development

Established in 2007, Element Electronics began with a simple belief - every household should have access to TVs featuring cutting-edge technology. In 2014, we took our commitment further by opening a factory in Winnsboro, SC, making Element the sole major television company assembling TVs in the United States. Presently, we continue to challenge ourselves, expanding our product range to include electronics and home appliances, while consistently providing customers with products showcasing the latest technology, all at affordable prices.

Element Electronics is building an in-house development team from the ground up. The team builds the custom applications and integrations that run our manufacturing, distribution, and corporate operations, working around and alongside our NetSuite ERP and other enterprise platforms. The Technical Lead builds that team and the engineering practice behind it: hiring and developing engineers, setting the standards for how we design, build, test, and ship, and owning the technical direction of our application portfolio. This is a hands-on role. You will write and review code in .NET and modern front-end frameworks, and you will also decide how the team works, what we build in-house versus with partners, and how we keep our systems secure and maintainable as they grow.
