The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Lead Full Stack Developer who enjoys both building and leading. You’ll drive development of the core platform, manage a growing team of engineers, and write production-level code across the stack.

You’ll work closely with the CTO to translate product goals into scalable architecture, while also owning sprint planning, task scoping, and development processes.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll guide a talented team of engineers, solve complex technical challenges, and shape product features from backend infrastructure to frontend interface. It’s ideal for someone who wants to balance leadership with coding — with the opportunity to grow into a Head of Engineering position.
