Summary Generated by Built In

Allata is a global consulting and technology services firm with offices in the US, India, and Argentina. We help organizations accelerate growth, drive innovation, and solve complex challenges by combining strategy, design, and advanced technology. Our expertise covers defining business vision, optimizing processes, and creating engaging digital experiences. We architect and modernize secure, scalable solutions using cloud platforms and top engineering practices.

Allata also empowers clients to unlock data value through analytics and visualization and leverages artificial intelligence to automate processes and enhance decision-making. Our agile, cross-functional teams work closely with clients, either integrating with their teams or providing independent guidance—to deliver measurable results and build lasting partnerships.

We are looking for a Lead Software Developer to join our engineering team and take a key role in the technical leadership, design, and delivery of scalable software solutions.
