We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Full Stack Engineer - Team Lead to join our high-performing, fully remote engineering team. In this role, you’ll lead a small team of engineers while remaining deeply hands-on in building and evolving our user-facing applications, strengthening core platform capabilities, and delivering high-quality features across both the frontend and backend.

You’ll be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy—consistently delivering high-impact features, shaping implementation patterns, and elevating the technical quality of the systems you work on. This role blends technical leadership and direct people management: you will lead a small team across multiple domains including API development, CRM systems, core application features, and data ingestion workflows, while remaining actively hands-on in code development.

The ideal candidate is an experienced engineering leader who can navigate complex systems, make sound architectural decisions, and bring structure and accountability to multi-project delivery. We’re looking for someone who not only writes excellent code, but also raises the technical bar for the team through strong judgment, proactive problem-solving, thoughtful engineering practices, and effective team leadership.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Leading a small team of engineers across multiple concurrent initiatives, ensuring clear scoping, execution discipline, and delivery accountability

  • Driving team execution rituals (sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives) and ensuring work is well-scoped with clear acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes

  • Owning delivery tracking and transparency using Jira and documentation via Confluence, keeping stakeholders aligned on status, risks, tradeoffs, and priorities

  • Designing and building robust GraphQL and REST APIs and scalable backend services that are both internal and external facing

  • Taking end-to-end technical ownership of features across both product and data domains

  • Contributing hands-on production-level code across frontend (React, TypeScript) and backend (Node.js, SQL, GraphQL, REST) systems

  • Developing and supporting data ingestion workflows and integration logic, including ETL-style processing and downstream system integrations

  • Designing technical solutions that support application growth, reliability, performance, and maintainability

  • Owning complex cross-domain engineering initiatives spanning application features, API systems, CRM functionality, and data workflows

  • Promoting engineering excellence through code quality, performance optimization, testing best practices, and architecture documentation

  • Partnering closely with Product and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable engineering solutions

  • Leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code) to improve engineering velocity, code quality, and delivery efficiency, while tracking measurable impact through KPIs such as cycle time, defect rates, and throughput.

  • Mentoring engineers through code reviews, design discussions, career development conversations, and structured feedback

The ideal candidate:

Technical Skills

  • 8+ years of experience as a software engineer building production-grade applications

  • Strong expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern front-end development practices. 

  • Proven experience designing, building, and scaling APIs (GraphQL and REST) in production environments

  • Strong backend development experience using Node.js, TypeScript, and SQL (PostgreSQL preferred)

  • Experience working within modern monorepo setups (Nx, Turborepo, Yarn Workspaces, etc.)

  • Strong data modeling and database design experience, ideally with PostgreSQL

  • Experience building, integrating, and supporting data ingestion pipelines and application-level data processing logic (Node.js, Python, or SQL), with attention to performance, scalability, and maintainability

  • Comfortable building, supporting, and integrating with production-grade ETL/data pipelines

  • Strong understanding of automated testing practices and CI/CD workflows

  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and containerization

  • Comfortable working across both greenfield and legacy systems

Business Skills

  • Technically versatile and capable of leading projects across both application and data-focused initiatives

  • Confident in navigating ambiguity and owning delivery from problem framing through execution

  • Strong communication skills with an ability to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers, developing talent, and contributing to engineering culture and growth

  • Experience in fast-paced startup or scaling environments

  • Proactive in identifying architectural and systemic improvements

  • Experience balancing team delivery accountability with individual technical contribution

  • Experience leading teams in an Agile environment and using tools such as Jira to manage delivery, track progress, and communicate status effectively

  • Prior experience in healthcare, life sciences, or regulated data environments is a plus

Bonus Skills

  • Experience building or supporting admin tools and internal platforms

  • Experience with data observability, schema governance, or data lineage tooling

  • Exposure to machine learning pipelines, business intelligence tools, or product instrumentation

  • Familiarity with mobile development frameworks such as React Native or Capacitor

Benefits:
