• You will be responsible for ensuring the delivery of high-quality software, fostering a culture of collaboration, and supporting engineers in their professional growth.

• Ensure high standards of software quality through code reviews, architecture discussions, and best practices.


• Drive continuous improvement in delivery practices (agile, DevOps, testing).


• Build an inclusive, collaborative, and high-performing team culture.


• Act as the escalation point for technical and delivery challenges within the team.


• Support hiring efforts, onboarding, and career development for engineers.


• Balance delivery speed with platform stability, availability, and cost-effectiveness.


• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using TypeScript, Node.js, and Express and frontend services using React.


• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues in collaboration with DevOps and support teams.


• Participate in architectural discussions and propose improvements.

Requirements

Required:

• Excellent communication skills – able to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.


• Ability to balance technical trade-offs with business priorities.


• Experience running agile delivery processes (Scrum, Kanban, or similar).


• Proven track record of leading engineering teams (2+ years as EM, TL, or equivalent).


• Strong experience with TypeScript, Node.js, and Express and React (or comparable stacks)


• Solid understanding of REST API design principles and best practices.


• Experience with asynchronous programming, error handling, and performance optimization in Node.js.


• Familiarity with containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, or Nomad).


• Experience with Git-based workflows (GitHub, GitLab, or similar).

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with PHP/Laravel (for interaction with our legacy platform).


• Understanding of security best practices for backend services.


• Experience with automated testing frameworks (Jest, Mocha, Cypress).


• Exposure to distributed or microservices-based architectures.
