Tech Lead / Team-Level Architect

We’re looking for a hands-on Tech Lead who thrives on building scalable, secure, and high-quality systems — not just in theory, but through code, coaching, and close collaboration. You’ll own the end-to-end technical delivery of your team’s outcomes, driving architectural decisions, enabling clean implementation, and ensuring alignment with platform-wide direction through ongoing partnership with the Solution Architect and Product Owner.

This role is embedded in a full-stack engineering team, where you will serve as the technical anchor — guiding design, mentoring developers, reviewing code, and unblocking delivery. You’ll play a key part in turning architectural intent into working software, while helping grow a high-performing, empowered team.

How You’ll Partner with Solution Architects and Product Owners

• With Solution Architects: You will work closely to translate platform and domain architecture into team-level implementation, validate approaches, and ensure consistency with cross-team patterns. You’ll provide feedback, propose solutions, and act as an extension of the architectural leadership within your team.
• With Product Owners: You’ll act as a trusted technical advisor, helping to shape features and backlog items into viable technical solutions. You’ll balance scope, feasibility, and engineering effort to deliver real value without compromising on long-term maintainability.
  
  

• You set the bar for code quality by reviewing PRs thoroughly — not just for correctness, but for maintainability, readability, and alignment to team and platform standards.
• You are expected to leave meaningful, constructive comments on most PRs, fostering learning and growth while upholding best practices.
• PRs should be used as active mentoring opportunities — a place where developers get actionable feedback that helps them improve over time.
• You lead by example in the PR process: demonstrating how thoughtful reviews can unblock, uplift, and enable teams.
• You help ensure the PR process is healthy, respected, and efficient — never a rubber stamp or bottleneck.
  
  

• Own the technical direction, architecture, and delivery quality for your team’s outcomes.
• Translate solution architecture into team-level designs, interfaces, and implementation plans.
• Ensure alignment with broader platform standards, collaborating closely with the Solution Architect.
• Work with the Product Owner to refine backlog items into technically actionable stories and epics.
• Define and uphold NFRs (scalability, performance, observability, security) for all deliverables.
• Partner with your Product Owner and Delivery Manager to scope, plan, and deliver incrementally.
  
  

• Stay actively engaged in the code — from spikes and POCs to PR reviews and production support.
• Guide developers with implementation details, design decisions, and coding practices.
• Debug tricky issues, drive resolution, and proactively identify areas for improvement.
  
  

• Mentor engineers through code reviews, design sessions, and pairing opportunities.
• Help guide engineers’ technical growth and align development to career goals.
• Foster a collaborative, feedback-rich team culture centered on learning and quality.
  
  

• Ensure the team delivers robust, maintainable, and tested software each sprint.
• Identify and eliminate technical blockers, delivery risks, or scope ambiguity early.
• Champion clean architecture, automation, and CI/CD pipelines as part of delivery DNA.
  
  

• Be the go-to technical leader in agile ceremonies and cross-functional meetings.
• Represent team-level technical direction in architecture syncs, design reviews, and retros.
• Communicate clearly across stakeholders — from engineers and architects to product managers and QA.
  
  

• 8+ years in software engineering with experience leading technical delivery for a product or feature team.
• Strong proficiency in modern web and backend technologies (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, NestJs, GraphQL, Microservices, MongoDB).
• Proven ability to design and deliver end-to-end software in complex, distributed environments.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, trunk-based development, and devops best practices.
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.
• Experience mentoring engineers and elevating team capability.
  
  

• In the Trenches: You lead from within the team — helping build, debug, and deliver.
• Connector: You bridge architecture, product, and engineering to enable smooth, strategic delivery.
• Code Guardian: You ensure what gets merged is clean, consistent, and contributes to a healthy codebase.
• Consultative: You help the team and product owner make informed tradeoffs by providing technical clarity and context.
• Collaborative: You partner naturally with architects, engineers, and product teams.
• Execution-Oriented: You care deeply about shipping working software — cleanly and consistently.
• Multiplier: You raise the bar by mentoring others and creating scalable patterns for success.
