Engineering Tech Lead (Full Stack)

What you will do! 🚀

• Set the technical direction for a fullstack product across backend services and web applications, and stay hands-on writing and reviewing code;
• Own the how and the when: technical approach, task breakdown, sequencing, capacity, and the quality bar, and be accountable for delivery;
• Hold the line on backend design discipline, so that services stay maintainable as the team and codebase grow;
• Collaborate with Product, Design, and QA to define, design, and ship features, distinguishing core engineering work from simpler edge work;
• Facilitate the team's delivery rhythm (stand-ups, planning, refinement, retrospectives) and remove impediments;
• Raise the engineering bar through mentorship, code review, and constructive technical feedback;
• Use AI-assisted development tools (such as Cursor or Claude) as part of your everyday workflow, and help the team use them well;
• Follow development and quality best practices, and be critical when you believe they can be improved;
• Document software and processes as needed.

What we look for!🔍

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related;
• Preferably 6+ years as a software engineer, with production experience across backend services and web frontends;
• Proven experience as a Tech Lead or in a similar technical-leadership role, owning a team's technical approach and delivery;
• Strong backend fundamentals: Clean Architecture, design patterns, and API design, with hands-on experience in C#/.NET or Node/TypeScript;
• Proven experience building single-page web apps with React;
• Solid experience with relational databases and an ORM, including schema and migration management;
