Full Stack Tech Lead

About Us

Welcome to Reeco, where we’re transforming the back-of-house tech for the hospitality industry. Think of it like this: while hotels are all about luxury and convenience, their operations are often stuck in the ‘90s. From emailing suppliers to doing inventory with pen and paper – it’s outdated, inefficient, and expensive. That’s where we come in! With the power of AI, we help streamline operations for top brands like Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, and IHG, so they can focus on what really matters – delivering amazing guest experiences while keeping everything running like clockwork.

Why Reeco

At Reeco, we live by our core values, which we call Heartt: Humility, Excellence, Ambition, Respect, Transparency, and Trust. We believe that by putting both heart and mind into everything we do, we can transform the hospitality industry. We’re on a mission to provide simple, powerful solutions for our customers with the same dedication they put into serving their guests.

Core Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

Define and drive the technical vision, architecture, and technology roadmap for the full stack engineering team
Make high-impact technical decisions around system design, technology selection, and trade-offs (performance vs. speed-to-market, build vs. buy, etc.)
Own and evolve the overall system architecture, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability across frontend and backend services
Establish and enforce engineering standards, design patterns, coding conventions, and best practices across the team
Lead architectural design reviews and serve as the final technical authority on complex implementation decisions

Hands-On Engineering

Design, develop, and ship end-to-end features using React, Node.js, TypeScript, and .NET (C#)
Build and optimize scalable APIs and backend services using SQL and NoSQL databases
Tackle the most complex and ambiguous technical challenges — prototyping solutions, resolving production-critical issues, and unblocking the team
Balance hands-on coding (~70–75% of time) with leadership, planning, and cross-team coordination

Team Leadership & People Development

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 4–8 full stack engineers across varying experience levels
Drive a strong engineering culture rooted in ownership, collaboration, continuous improvement, and psychological safety
Lead hiring efforts: define technical hiring bars, design interview loops, and conduct technical interviews
Facilitate knowledge-sharing through tech talks, brown bags, documentation, and internal RFCs

Delivery & Process

Partner with product managers, designers, and stakeholders to translate business requirements into well-scoped technical plans and roadmaps
Own sprint planning, capacity management, and delivery commitments for the team
Identify and proactively mitigate technical risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks before they impact delivery
Champion and improve DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, alerting, and incident response workflows
Drive post-mortems and ensure lessons learned are converted into systemic improvements

Requirements:

What We're Looking For

Experience

8+ years of professional full stack engineering experience, with 2+ years in a tech lead or senior technical leadership role
Proven track record of leading a team through the full lifecycle of complex projects — from architecture and design through delivery and production support
Experience operating in a fast-paced, product-driven environment with shifting priorities

Technical Proficiency

Advanced, production-level proficiency with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and .NET (C#)
Deep hands-on experience with SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Redis — including data modeling, query optimization, and scaling strategies
Strong command of frameworks such as Express, NestJS, or ASP.NET Core
Solid understanding of RESTful API design, authentication/authorization patterns (OAuth, JWT), and API versioning strategies
Proficiency in leveraging AI-powered development tools (particularly Claude Code) to enhance team productivity, code quality, and development workflows

Architecture & Systems Thinking

Strong grasp of distributed systems concepts: CAP theorem, eventual consistency, event-driven architecture, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS)
Experience designing and decomposing systems into microservices with clear service boundaries, contracts, and failure handling
Ability to make informed decisions about caching strategies, database sharding, load balancing, and horizontal scaling
Familiarity with design patterns (CQRS, event sourcing, saga pattern) and when to apply them

DevOps & Infrastructure

Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration in production
Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins) and automated deployment strategies (blue/green, canary)
Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) — including networking, IAM, managed services, and cost optimization
Experience with observability tooling: structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics dashboards (Datadog, Grafana, ELK, etc.)

Quality & Security

Strong commitment to automated testing at all levels: unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end
Understanding of application security best practices: OWASP Top 10, secure coding, dependency scanning, secrets management
Experience establishing and maintaining performance budgets, SLOs/SLAs, and production readiness standards

Leadership & Communication

Demonstrated ability to influence without authority — driving alignment across teams, product, and leadership
Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting technical strategies to both engineering peers and non-technical stakeholders
Proven experience navigating technical debt trade-offs and building a credible plan to address them incrementally
Skilled at breaking down ambiguous problems into actionable plans with clear ownership

Bonus Points

Experience with GraphQL or serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions)
Exposure to mobile development, especially React Native
Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK)
Domain experience in hospitality, logistics, or supply chain tech
Experience running platform or developer experience (DX) initiatives that improve team velocity
