We're hiring a hands-on Lead Engineer to design, build, and ship product features across our Go microservices and modern React front-end.

You'll work directly with our engineering leadership, Head of Product, and designer, taking end-to-end ownership of complex problems while pushing the boundaries of how engineers leverage AI both in product and in their daily workflow.

This is a building-first role. We expect you to be delivering significant cross-stack features independently within your first two months.

What You'll Be Doing:

Full-Stack Feature Development (Primary Focus)

- Design and ship new features across our Go microservices and React (Remix) front-end

- Own complex problems end-to-end — from database design to user experience

- Collaborate with engineering leadership, PM, and designer to deliver high-impact product improvements

- Build internal tooling to accelerate the entire team

Infrastructure & Developer Experience (Secondary)

- Maintain and improve our Kubernetes (GKE) infrastructure

- Contribute to CI/CD, observability, and developer workflows

- Help optimize our AI-assisted development tooling and practices

Must-Haves:

- Active AI tool usage — you're already coding with AI assistants daily (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.)

- 7+ years senior engineering experience with strong full-stack product development

- Formal or informal experience providing technical leadership

- Systems thinking and ability to navigate complex technical systems

- Proven track record of shipping products

- Go familiarity or strong experience with Java, Scala, C#, Rust, Python or TypeScript

- Modern React (Remix/react-router or similar frameworks)

- Some DevOps experience with production systems and deployment

- Strong written and verbal communication skills for remote, async-friendly setup

- Self-driven and able to work autonomously

Bonus:

- Significant DevOps/Cloud experience (Google Cloud, Kubernetes, microservices)

- GraphQL API design in microservice environments

- Event-driven architectures (Kafka)

- Distributed database experience (Cassandra, ScyllaDB)

- TailwindCSS utility patterns
