Lead Software Engineer

About this role

Lead Software Engineer

Full-Stack Engineering

Department: Engineering / Product Development

Employment Type: Full-Time

Experience Level: Senior (7+ years)

About the Role

We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to own the technical direction of a full-stack product team. You will operate across the entire stack - from the component library and client-side state management layer through APIs, services, and data stores - making sure the pieces fit together into a cohesive, performant, and maintainable product. You'll pair deep hands-on coding with the judgment to decide what to build, how to build it, and when to push back.

This is a senior technical leadership role. You will set architectural direction, raise the quality bar through code review and design guidance, mentor engineers at every level, and partner closely with Product and Design to turn ambiguous problems into shipped software. You lead by building trust - through the quality of your technical decisions, the clarity of your communication, and your commitment to the team's growth.

What You'll Do

Technical Leadership

• Define and drive the full-stack technical roadmap in partnership with Product and Design, balancing feature velocity with platform health and technical debt reduction.

• Establish and evolve architectural standards, coding conventions, and design patterns across frontend and backend systems.

• Lead design reviews and RFC processes for significant features and system changes; serve as the final technical decision-maker for the team.

• Own cross-cutting concerns - API contract design, authentication/authorization flows, performance budgets, accessibility standards, and data modeling strategy.

• Represent the team in cross-functional architecture forums; communicate technical trade-offs, risks, and timelines to engineering leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
