Lead Software Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Lead Software Engineer based in the United States.

This role sits at the intersection of technical leadership and hands-on engineering, guiding the design and delivery of enterprise-grade SaaS solutions. You will lead a team responsible for building scalable, reliable, and modern applications while setting the bar for engineering excellence across architecture, code quality, and delivery practices. The environment is highly collaborative, working closely with Product, DevOps, and cross-functional stakeholders to evolve both new platforms and legacy systems. A key focus of the role is driving modernization efforts while maintaining stability and performance in production systems. You will also play a pivotal role in integrating AI-powered development practices to improve productivity and accelerate delivery. This is a high-impact position for someone who enjoys shaping engineering culture as much as building software.

Accountabilities:

Lead the technical direction of engineering teams by defining architecture standards, system design principles, and long-term scalability strategies across enterprise SaaS platforms.
Establish and enforce engineering best practices, including code quality standards, testing strategies, CI/CD workflows, and release governance to ensure reliable and efficient delivery.
Drive modernization of legacy systems by balancing technical debt reduction with ongoing feature development and business priorities.
Champion AI-enabled engineering practices, identifying opportunities to improve development velocity, documentation, testing, and refactoring through responsible AI usage.
Mentor and support engineers in system design, problem-solving, and modern software engineering practices while contributing directly to complex technical implementations when needed.
Collaborate with Product, Design, DevOps, and leadership teams to align architecture decisions with business goals, scalability needs, and operational constraints.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate brings extensive engineering experience combined with strong leadership and architectural expertise in enterprise environments. You should have a deep understanding of modern software development practices, system design principles, and scalable cloud-native architectures. This role requires someone who is comfortable being both hands-on and strategic, with the ability to guide teams while still contributing technically when needed.

12+ years of software development experience, including at least 3 years in a technical leadership role
Proven experience leading engineering teams in enterprise SaaS environments
Strong expertise in React, Node.js, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems
Deep knowledge of software engineering principles (SOLID, DRY, KISS, separation of concerns) and domain-driven design concepts
Experience designing and scaling distributed systems using patterns such as event-driven architecture, API-first design, and component-based systems
Strong background in CI/CD, automated testing strategies, and deployment/release automation
Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS cloud architecture
Demonstrated success leading legacy system modernization initiatives
Strong communication skills with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders
Experience mentoring engineers and building high-performing engineering teams

Benefits:

Competitive compensation aligned with experience and market benchmarks ($130,000–$150,000 target range)
Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision insurance with inclusive benefits
Unlimited vacation policy for eligible employees
401(k) retirement plan with company match
Flexible work arrangements and remote-friendly culture
Parental, caregiver, and family leave support
Professional development programs and continuous learning opportunities
Mental health and wellness resources
Inclusive benefits including fertility and gender-affirming care support
Collaborative, innovation-driven engineering environment
