We’re hiring a hands-on Software Tech Lead to lead end-to-end architecture across our web stack. In this role, you’ll design and code critical paths, set technical direction, and help teams deliver secure, observable, high-performance products. A key requirement is experience owning a large end-to-end web application from 0 to production at a meaningful scale.

Our current stack

• Frontend: Angular, RxJS, Bootstrap-based UI components.
• Backend: Node.js/TypeScript, serverless on GCP, NestJS in new services.
• Data: Firestore as primary store, object storage for images.
• Tooling: NX monorepo, CI/CD, automated testing, observability with centralized logs/metrics/traces.

A day in the life and how you’ll make an impact:

• Own system architecture for customer-facing apps and internal platforms end-to-end: frontend, backend, data, and cloud.
• Design clear interfaces and a mediated API layer between services and clients.
• Lead decisions on scalability, observability, reliability, cost, and security for high-volume, low-latency workloads.
• Write production code in TypeScript/Node and Angular, pairing with teams on complex features.
• Establish guardrails: coding standards, architecture principles, testing strategy, CI/CD, trunk-based development.
• Create simple, composable designs that favor KISS over unnecessary abstraction.
• Drive event-driven patterns where useful, including pub/sub and event sourcing.
• Champion great DX: reusable libraries, tooling, documentation, and fast feedback loops.
• Partner with product and research to ship measurable business impact, not just diagrams.
• Mentor engineers and unblock teams with pragmatic reviews and hands-on help.

Requirements:

• 7+ years building production web applications, including 4+ years in an architect/tech-lead role.
• You have led at least one end-to-end web product from design to launch and growth, covering frontend, backend, storage, CI/CD, security, and monitoring.
• Strong coding skills in TypeScript and Node.js, plus modern SPA frameworks (preferably Angular).
• Deep knowledge of cloud-native architecture on GCP or similar
• Proven experience with high-scale data systems: document DBs, hot paths vs. cold paths, indexing, and cost/perf trade-offs.
• Solid grasp of reliability practices: tracing, metrics, structured logging, SLOs, error budgets.
• Security first mindset: authN/authZ, least privilege, data protection, multi-tenant design, auditability.
• Clear written and verbal communication with distributed and non-native English-speaking teams.

Bonus if you have:

• Firebase/Firestore at scale, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Redis.
• NX monorepo workflows, trunk-based development, feature flags.
• Image-heavy or real-time systems, computer-vision pipelines, or human-in-the-loop tools.
• Experience integrating external AI/ML services via well-designed boundaries.
• GDPR/PII handling, enterprise customer integrations.
