Job description

Responsibilities

We're looking for a Lead Software Engineer who can guide and grow a small team of frontend engineers while remaining a hands‑on, high‑output individual contributor. This role is not about producing baseline code quickly. AI can do that. It's about engineering judgment, clear direction, technical quality, and team leverage. You will partner closely with a Product Lead (and design, data, and backend partners) to shape scope, define milestones, and break work into well‑scoped tasks that can be delivered predictably. You'll set expectations around quality, testing, and production readiness—especially in fast‑moving, AI‑assisted development environments.
