Lead Full Stack Engineer, Vertical Applications

7+ years of software engineering with a history of owning and operating the systems you build. You’re deeply proficient in at least two of Python, Java, Ruby, or Node.js, with solid React/TypeScript skills on the frontend. Continuous delivery, test-driven development, agile and shift-left are things you genuinely practice – not just checkboxes on a process document.

You’re comfortable building and operating scalable, distributed, high performant systems and navigating multi-tenant, compliant environments. You’re already using AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, or similar) and you’re curious about pushing those workflows further.

You’re a strong communicator who enjoys working directly with product owners, proposing architectures, building consensus across teams, and then making it happen. You’re energized by learning new domains and collaborating with people who care about their craft.
