Job Level
About the role
- Conduct regular interviews with engineering teams to find pain points in their daily workflows and prioritize the creation of tools or architectural changes to eliminate them.
- Design and implement reusable patterns using Nest.js, React.js, and TypeScript that enable other engineers to ship high-quality, performant services and interfaces by default.
- Take ownership of systemic performance issues, such as optimizing slow PostgreSQL queries or refining Kafka producer/consumer patterns to ensure reliable message delivery.
- Own and evolve our Kubernetes and ArgoCD configurations to ensure seamless, automated, and safe deployments across the organization.
- Lead nebulous, cross-team technical challenges such as re-architecting shared libraries or evolving our service-to-service communication and drive them to a concrete resolution.
- Identify "sticky" or overly complex codebases and lead the effort to refactor them into maintainable, testable, and modern modules.
- Actively mentor and coach engineers across the organization, helping them level up their technical skills and understanding of our core architecture.
- Research, prototype, and roll out new internal tools, libraries, or frameworks that improve CI/CD, local development, or system observability.
- Introduce new frameworks or architectural shifts to the team and provide the documentation, workshops, and 1:1 support needed for successful adoption.
- Lead by example in code reviews, coaching others on maintainable design, testing strategies, and system-level risk mitigation.
- Communicate complex technical trade-offs effectively across functions, using empathy and self-awareness to handle conflict and align differing perspectives.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in software engineering with a proven track record of leading teams and providing technical direction.
- Deep passion for mentorship with a history of developing the technical careers of associate and intermediate engineers.
- Prior experience specifically within Platform, Infrastructure, or Developer Experience (DevEx) teams.
- Deep professional expertise in the Node.js/TypeScript ecosystem, including experience scaling Nest.js backends and React.js frontends.
- Hands-on experience managing containerized workloads using Kubernetes and ArgoCD.
- Strong proficiency in PostgreSQL (query optimization and schema design) and Kafka (event-driven architecture).
- Proven ability to "unroll" complex legacy code and replace it with scalable, maintainable architecture.
- Experience navigating high-ambiguity environments and translating vague technical frustrations into prioritized roadmaps.
- Demonstrated ability to build psychological safety and trust within a team while raising the engineering quality bar.
