Full Stack Team Lead

Why we’re looking for you 😎

We’re looking for a Full Stack Team Lead to take ownership of one of Port’s core engineering teams and help shape the future of internal developer portals. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll guide a team, drive technical direction, and ensure delivery of features that impact thousands of developers worldwide.

What you’ll do 💼

At Port, we’re building a platform by developers, for developers. As a Full Stack Team Lead, you’ll balance leadership and hands-on coding — setting technical direction while enabling your team to thrive.

• Leading, mentoring, and growing a team of full-stack developers, fostering both technical and personal development.
• Acting as the technical authority in your domain, making architecture decisions that balance scalability, performance, and usability.

• Building reusable components, services, and infrastructure to accelerate and standardize development.
• Partnering closely with product managers and designers to translate product vision into actionable engineering plans.
• Maintaining high standards in code quality, testing, CI/CD, and deployment pipelines.
• Playing an active role in shaping company-wide engineering practices and technical direction.

Our stack centers around React + TypeScript on the frontend and Node.js on the backend, with Mongo, Kafka, Redis, and PostgreSQL as key technologies. Your leadership will shape our codebase and influence broader company decisions.
