## Job Description

## What You'll Do

### Technical Leadership
- Analyze product requirements and produce high-quality, production-ready code while creating a best-in-class user experience.
- Build and maintain new user-facing features with everything from database models to UI components.
- Own the technical architecture for major initiatives and guide the team through complex technical decisions.
- Create services and APIs to drive existing and new features for web apps.
- Maintain the health of our systems and codebase, refactor and make improvements, and keep our systems robust and resilient.
- Write clear specs to ensure product/code quality for stress-free deployment.
- Drive large releases to production on a continuous deployment cadence.
- Set technical standards for code quality, testing, and engineering excellence.

### People Leadership
- Directly manage 2-6 engineers, conducting 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations.
- Mentor engineers on technical growth, code quality, and problem-solving approaches through pairing sessions and thoughtful code reviews.
- Unblock your team—whether that's a technical challenge, a process bottleneck, or a cross-functional coordination issue.
- Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement within your team.
- Participate in hiring: interview candidates, assess technical skills, and help build a world-class engineering team.
- Work with product and design partners to translate vision into executable technical plans your team can rally around.

## What You Bring to the Table
- 7+ years of relevant experience on both frontend and backend development, with a proven track record of shipping high-impact products.
- Experience leading, mentoring, or managing engineers—whether formal or informal. You've helped others level up.
- Strong React fundamentals and a background working with Typescript/Node.
- An intuitive understanding of what it takes to create delightful, consumer-oriented experiences.
- Experience working in a start-up environment where you've worn multiple hats and moved fast.
- Exceptional communication skills that help you influence product direction, align stakeholders, and give feedback that lands.
- Extreme bias toward action and execution. You get antsy if you're not writing code, improving the codebase, vigilantly enhancing systems, or helping your team do the same.
- The ability to balance hands-on technical work with people management—you thrive in both modes.
- Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to create structure where none exists.

## Our Tech Stack
- Typescript across all our applications
- NestJS API with TypeORM
- Postgres
- Redis
- React
- Custom UI library built on shadcn
- Tailwind
- Heroku
