Senior Full Stack Engineer - Team Lead

Position Overview

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Full Stack Engineer - Team Lead to join our high-performing, fully remote engineering team. In this role, you’ll lead a small team of engineers while remaining deeply hands-on in building and evolving our user-facing applications, strengthening core platform capabilities, and delivering high-quality features across both the frontend and backend.

You’ll be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy—consistently delivering high-impact features, shaping implementation patterns, and elevating the technical quality of the systems you work on. This role blends technical leadership and direct people management: you will lead a small team across multiple domains including API development, CRM systems, core application features, and data ingestion workflows, while remaining actively hands-on in code development.

The ideal candidate is an experienced engineering leader who can navigate complex systems, make sound architectural decisions, and bring structure and accountability to multi-project delivery. We’re looking for someone who not only writes excellent code, but also raises the technical bar for the team through strong judgment, proactive problem-solving, thoughtful engineering practices, and effective team leadership.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading a small team of engineers across multiple concurrent initiatives, ensuring clear scoping, execution discipline, and delivery accountability
• Driving team execution rituals (sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives) and ensuring work is well-scoped with clear acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes
• Owning delivery tracking and transparency using Jira and documentation via Confluence, keeping stakeholders aligned on status, risks, tradeoffs, and priorities
• Designing and building robust GraphQL and REST APIs and scalable backend services that are both internal and external facing
• Taking end-to-end technical ownership of features across both product and data domains
• Contributing hands-on production-level code across frontend (React, TypeScript) and backend (Node.js, SQL, GraphQL, REST) systems
• Developing and supporting data ingestion workflows and integration logic, including ETL-style processing and downstream system integrations
• Designing technical solutions that support application growth, reliability, performance, and maintainability
• Owning complex cross-domain engineering initiatives spanning application features, API systems, CRM functionality, and data workflows
• Promoting engineering excellence through code quality, performance optimization, testing best practices, and architecture documentation
• Partnering closely with Product and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable engineering solutions
• Leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code) to improve engineering velocity, code quality, and delivery efficiency, while tracking measurable impact through KPIs such as cycle time, defect rates, and throughput.
• Mentoring engineers through code reviews, design discussions, career development conversations, and structured feedback

The ideal candidate:

Technical Skills

• 8+ years of experience as a software engineer building production-grade applications
• Strong expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern front-end development practices
• Proven experience designing, building, and scaling APIs (GraphQL and REST) in production environments
• Strong backend development experience using Node.js, TypeScript, and SQL (PostgreSQL preferred)
