Banyan Software provides the best permanent home for successful enterprise software companies, their employees, and customers. We are on a mission to acquire, build and grow great enterprise software businesses all over the world that have dominant positions in niche vertical markets. In recent years, Banyan was named the #1 fastest-growing private software company in the US on the Inc. 5000 and amongst the top 10 fastest-growing companies by the Deloitte Technology Fast 500.

About the Role

We are seeking a Technical Adoption Lead to act as the bridge between the core rewrite team and our operating company (OpCo) developers. This role ensures smooth adoption of new systems, providing hands-on training, knowledge transfer, and co-development support.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical skills with the ability to teach, mentor, and guide teams through change. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring OpCo developers become self-sufficient with the new AI-augmented systems, while shielding the core development team from day-to-day adoption challenges.

This role requires a consultancy mindset—adaptable, AI-native, and proactive—while being highly collaborative across technical and business stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Training & Enablement: Deliver ongoing training to OpCo developers throughout the project lifecycle.
• Knowledge Transfer: Ensure successful handoff of technical practices, tools, and frameworks to internal teams.
• Co-Development: Partner with OpCo developers during adoption phases, guiding them in applying new architectures and AI-driven workflows.
• AI Fluency: Promote effective use of AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor AI, ChatGPT) to accelerate learning and delivery.
• Change Leadership: Foster confidence and independence within OpCo teams, ensuring long-term sustainability of the new platform.
• Stakeholder Communication and Management: Act as a liaison between OpCo teams and the core rewrite team, reducing unnecessary interruptions for full stack developers and ultimately enabling the stakeholder team’s successful adoption of new technology.

Required Experience

• 8 years of professional software development experience.
• Hands-on experience with modern backend (C#, ASP.NET Core) and frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript, or Angular).
• Exposure to system migrations or application rewrites.
• Familiarity with Generative AI tools for coding, documentation, and testing.
• Prior experience in mentorship, technical training, or enablement

Generative AI Expertise

• Working knowledge of AI-assisted development tools for scaffolding, testing, and documentation.
• Ability to guide others in translating legacy code into modern service-based designs.
• Familiarity with AI use cases such as reverse engineering, workflow summarization, and test automation.
• Comfortable integrating AI-driven features into day-to-day workflows.

What We’re Looking For

• Educator’s Mindset: Patient, clear, and effective at teaching technical concepts to peers.
• AI-Native Thinking: Uses AI tools daily and encourages others to adopt them as development partners.
• Collaborative & Approachable: Builds trust with OpCo teams, serving as their go-to technical guide.
• Pragmatic & Iterative: Helps teams adapt quickly, delivering value incrementally.
• Bridge Builder: Keeps communication flowing between core developers and OpCo stakeholders without adding friction.
• Autonomous & Reliable: Operates with minimal oversight, ensuring continuity and adoption success.

Why This Role?

As Technical Adoption Lead, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring the success of our rewrite initiative. By equipping OpCo teams with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to thrive in an AI-augmented development environment, you’ll enable long-term sustainability while protecting the velocity of the core rewrite team.

This is a unique opportunity to combine technical expertise with leadership and enablement skills, shaping not only the product but also the people who will sustain it.
