Engineering Lead

Overview

• We are looking for a strong Engineering Lead with deep technical and engineering experience, combined with strong product thinking.
• In this role, you will lead engineers while remaining a hands-on individual contributor, driving architecture and execution from the technical side.
• You will build at high speed by leveraging advanced AI tools (e.g., Claude, Codex, Cluster, and others), ensuring scalability, security, and quality are never compromised.
• As the technical owner, you will shape engineering standards, guide system design, and translate product needs into robust, AI-accelerated implementations.
• As an Engineering Lead you will:
• Lead a team of engineers, coaching them on how to effectively utilize AI agents (Claude, Codex, etc.) to handle the bulk of code generation while maintaining high standards.
• Act as the final line of auditing and refining AI-generated code across the full stack (Python/Django & React) for security, performance, and correctness.
• Lead the high-level design of robust APIs using Django REST Framework, ensuring the team follows advanced security patterns to prevent XSS and SQL injection to ensure architect scalable systems.
• Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines and AI-driven deployment strategies to ensure the team moves from product concept to feature in record time and own the development workflow.
• Work closely with stakeholders to evaluate features based on user value and technical scalability, ensuring the team isn't just "completing tickets" but building a cohesive product to
