This is a new, highly visible role where you'll work directly with the CTO, product leadership, and a distributed engineering team to shape architecture, scale the product, and grow the company's internal engineering capabilities. You'll stay hands-on while setting technical standards, mentoring engineers, and raising the bar for the team around you. The culture values action, thoughtful experimentation, candid feedback, and world-class work. The team builds using Shape Up rather than Agile or Scrum. Work is organized around clearly defined problems instead of sprint ceremonies, and engineers are trusted to find the best path forward, adapt as they learn, and own the outcome. Tech Environment * Typescript * React * Next.js * Node.js * PostgreSQL * Full-stack monolith architecture * Automated preview deployments with mocked services and isolated, production-like data * Event-driven and asynchronous systems * Workflow tools such as Kafka, Temporal, or Inngest * AI-assisted development and workflow automation Responsibilities Architecture and Technical Direction * Own the architecture and design of complex, mission-critical systems across the full stack. * Partner with the CTO to define and execute the long-term engineering strategy. * Translate business strategy into practical technical roadmaps, and respectfully push back when there's a better approach. * Guide data modeling and system design with a focus on scalability, security, and long-term maintainability. Reliability and Automation * Strengthen reliability through monitoring, service-level objectives, incident response, and blameless postmortems with measurable follow-through. * Turn manual work (deployments, data fixes, reporting, reviews, documentation) into automated, scalable systems. * Ensure systems meet security, privacy, audit, and compliance requirements for sensitive data. Leadership * Set engineering standards and lead design and code reviews without becoming a bottleneck. * Mentor engineers to grow their technical judgment, ownership, and problem-solving. * Take on cross-functional technical challenges that lack a clear owner and drive them to completion. * Build alignment across U.S. and international engineering teams, and represent engineering with product and executive leadership. ## 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) - [GraphQL + Apollo + Next.js: A Lovely Trio](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/311-graphql-apollo-next-js-a-lovely-trio) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
