• Guide the team through design reviews, technical tradeoffs, refactoring, software quality improvements, and long-term architectural planning.
• Set technical direction for the team while aligning with company-wide product and architecture goals.

• Collaborate closely with Product, UX, QA, and other engineers to turn business goals into scalable systems.
• Lead and mature CI/CD processes, DevOps collaboration, deployment automation, and cloud-native infrastructure practices.
• Take ownership of production health: drive the culture and systems for monitoring, observability, and fast recovery from incidents.
• Lead post-incident reviews, improve telemetry, and drive systemic fixes that improve reliability and developer feedback loops.
  
  

• 8+ years of hands-on software development experience, including at least 5 years in cloud-native SaaS full-stack teams.
• 3+ years of proven success as a Tech Lead or Staff Engineer.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) – preferred.
• Experience leading projects spanning multiple systems or teams.
• Mastery of JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks (Node.js, React, Next.js).
• Strong experience with microservices, API design (REST/GraphQL), data modeling, and event-driven systems.
• Solid understanding of system design, distributed architectures, and performance tuning.

• Thrives in high-autonomy, fast-paced product squad environments.
• People-first operator: raises the level of those around them - through mentorship, clarity, energy, influence and strong technical example.
• Driven by impact: your squad owns a business-critical product relied on daily by DoorLoop customers. You don’t just ship code - you deliver stability, reliability, and velocity at the core of the user experience.
