Engineering Manager / Tech Lead – Digital Evidence Management SystemPosition Overview
iCrimeFighter is hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager / Tech Lead to run our small engineering team (7–10 people) building a CJIS-compliant Digital Evidence Management System serving US law enforcement agencies. This is not a purely managerial role; you'll write production code alongside the team while owning delivery, process, and people leadership.
