Lead Software Engineer

Software Engineer

Job description

We are seeking a Lead Software Engineer to spearhead the development of our core platforms. 

You will be the technical authority for your team, balancing roughly 50-60% hands-on coding with 40-50% architectural design, mentoring, and project management. 

Beyond traditional full-stack architecture, a modern Lead must now act as an AI Orchestrator—integrating autonomous agents into the software ecosystem and mastering the "language" of LLMs to drive team velocity.

You will work closely with Product Managers to turn business requirements into scalable technical realities while ensuring your team maintains world-class coding standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Design & Strategy: Architect scalable, resilient microservices and frontend systems. Lead "Buy vs. Build" evaluations for new technologies.

• Code Quality: Set and enforce standards for code reviews, testing (Unit, Integration, E2E), and CI/CD automation.

• Technical Roadmap: Partner with the Engineering Manager to define the long-term technical vision and tackle technical debt proactively.

2. AI Strategy & Agentic Orchestration

• Agentic Architecture: Design and implement systems that utilize AI Agents for autonomous task execution, such as automated bug fixing, self-healing infrastructure, or intelligent data synthesis.

• LLM Integration: Evaluate and integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) into the product core, moving beyond simple chat interfaces to complex, multi-step agentic workflows (e.g., using frameworks like LangChain, AutoGPT, or CrewAI).

• Governance & Ethics: Establish guardrails for AI outputs, ensuring that agentic actions are deterministic, secure, and compliant with data privacy standards.

3. Team Delivery & Management

• Work-Stream Delivery: Own the end-to-end delivery of complex features. You don't just write code; you ensure the team ships it on time.

• Conflict Resolution: Act as the final tie-breaker for technical disagreements within the team to prevent "analysis paralysis."

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for Product, Design, and DevOps teams.

4. Mentorship & Growth

• Talent Development: Mentor Senior, Mid-level, and Junior engineers through pair programming and architectural walkthroughs.

• Hiring: Play a key role in the interview process to identify and vet top-tier engineering talent.
