  • Support hiring, onboarding, and technical evaluation
  • Partner with product, design, and executive leadership
  • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
  • Align technical execution with business goals and experiential outcomes

Requirements

  • 10+ years professional software engineering experience
  • Demonstrated leadership as a Lead Engineer, Tech Lead, or Architect
  • Prior experience working at a software agency or consultancy delivering client projects
  • Proven ownership of end-to-end system architecture
  • Strong client-facing communication skills
  • Deep experience delivering production systems under deadlines
  • Modern frontend frameworks (React preferred)
  • Backend systems (Node.js, TypeScript, or comparable)
  • API design (REST, real-time systems)
  • Cloud infrastructure (AWS strongly preferred)
  • CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring, logging
  • Performance, security, and fault-tolerant system design

Nice to have
