About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and lead the team. You will stand up a brand-new squad of roughly four senior full-stack engineers, managing the full lifecycle of hiring, onboarding, and continuous growth through weekly 1:1s and performance feedback. You’ll align individual aspirations with business needs while fostering a culture of high standards and psychological safety.
Set the charter and direction. Partnering with Engineering leadership, Product, and Design, you will define the team’s ownership boundaries and engagement models, translating high-level goals into a clear roadmap and well-scoped delivery milestones.
Treat internal product teams as your customers. You will seek to understand their pain points, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship reusable, well-documented capabilities while measuring their adoption and impact across the organization.
Drive the technical direction. You will oversee the architecture of shared full-stack platforms, including frontend frameworks, backend services, APIs, and multi-tenant primitives and ensure they scale. You’ll stay close enough to the technology to provide architectural input, code reviews, and hands-on contributions where they add the most leverage.
Own operational quality and how we work. You’ll be responsible for on-call practices, incident response runbooks, and the engineering standards (from CI/CD to ADRs and testing) that empower every product team at Copia to move faster with higher confidence.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience, with at least 1–2 years of formal or informal people-leadership experience (tech lead, team lead, or direct management).
A strong technical foundation across the stack - frontend, backend, APIs, and data - and the judgment to design shared application capabilities that other engineers will want to build on.
Experience delivering a product or capability with engineers as the end users (an internal platform, SDK, design system, framework, shared services layer, or developer-tools product). You know how to treat other engineers as real customers.
Demonstrated ability to coach engineers — helping them grow technically, take on bigger scope, and develop in their careers.
Strong written and verbal communication. You can adjust your message for engineers, executives, and partner teams without losing the substance.
Sound judgment around prioritization, scope, and trade-offs, which includes knowing when to ship a focused MVP versus investing in the right foundation and when to say "no" or "not yet" to internal customers.
Empathy, humility, and high standards. You are kind to people and tough on problems.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
