Who You’ll Be Working With

We build the solutions dreamed up by the product and design teams. Our goal is to deliver working software every two weeks. We are a large team that spans across three global offices, but we collaborate and integrate front- and back-end components and interfaces to provide a user-centered experience through web and mobile platforms.

We expect this role to embody Codal’s principles of mindful excellence, insatiable expertise, diverse intuition, data-led curiosity, and candid leadership in how you lead technically, mentor your team, and engage with clients.

• Establish and promote consistent engineering practices, coding patterns, and standards across the team.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership on active projects, helping unblock engineers, resolve technical challenges, and keep delivery on track.

• Partner with Engineering and Project leadership to establish clear technical guardrails, standards, and ownership across projects.
• Serve as the primary technical voice in client conversations for your project, shaping scope and technical approach with the client rather than only executing what’s handed down.
• Support new business pursuits as needed, contributing technical scoping, proof-of-concept work, or estimates for prospective client engagements.

Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience with React and TypeScript.
• Strong backend development experience with Node.js or Python with one of the leading databases like PostgreSQL, MySql and/or MongoDB.
• Good understanding of full-stack application architecture, API design, and databases.
• Ability to lead technical decisions, conduct code reviews, and mentor engineers.
• Experience with a cloud platform such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Should Have Skills

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Gemini, or similar tools as part of the software development lifecycle.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to work independently on complex technical problems.
• Experience working in a client-facing or consulting environment.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, project/product, QA, design, and client-facing teams.

Nice To Have Skills

• Experience with Docker and CI/CD.
• Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-powered applications.

Benefits

• Codal is a global agency with over 250 employees, and offices in the US, UK, Canada and India.
• We are a BigCommerce Partner and have won the Partner of the year award twice (most recently this past year).
• We regularly host happy hours, dinners, excursions, and other company events to unwind after a hard day at work.
• Company sponsored lunch every Wednesday.
• Health Insurance: Comprehensive medical coverage for employees and their dependents.
• Maternity/Paternity Leave: Additional time off and support for new parents.
• Professional Development: Opportunities for training, workshops, conferences to enhance employees' skills and knowledge.
• Accidental Insurance.

At Codal, we are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
