As an AI-first innovation shop and AWS Advanced Tier Partner, RevStar builds cutting-edge cloud-native products that drive real client impact. We are seeking a senior Software Development Lead to act as a player-coach and technical standard bearer across our practice. In this role, you will raise the quality bar across all delivery teams through hands-on code contribution, architectural governance, developer enablement, and reusable technical accelerators. Above all, the ideal candidate embodies RevStar's core values: * Self-Mastery: We hold a high bar for how we think, communicate, and improve. * Ownership: We own outcomes, not just effort. * Shared Destiny: We rise or fall together. Your Impact Pillars 1. Architectural Governance & Hands-On Engineering - Lead by example by writing high-quality production code, conducting code reviews, and solving complex architectural challenges across client engagements. Establish, document, and enforce modern engineering standards for ReactJS, NodeJS, and AWS cloud-native systems. Participate in the Product Development Standards Committee to define CI/CD, testing, security, and observability best practices while conducting periodic project audits to maintain compliance. 2. Engineering Accelerators & AI Adoption - Build and maintain production-ready internal assets, including boilerplate repositories, reference architectures, and shared UI/backend components. Drive AI adoption across delivery teams using approved tool registries to accelerate development velocity and improve project profitability. Identify recurring technical friction points across client projects and engineer systemic, reusable solutions. 3. Developer Enablement & Cross-Functional Innovation - Design and execute developer training curricula covering modern ReactJS/NodeJS patterns, event-driven microservices, and AWS best practices. Lead company-wide Leadership Labs focused on technical decision-making, code maintainability, and trade-off analysis. Partner closely with Product Managers, DevOps, and QA leads to ensure technical solutions match product intent, business outcomes, and emerging cloud technologies. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
