About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled React Team Lead to join our engineering team. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will bridge the gap between technical strategy and execution. You will be responsible for the end-to-end development of scalable web applications, from architecting robust Node.js backends to crafting high-performance React frontends.

As a Lead, you won’t just write code, you will drive engineering excellence through rigorous code reviews, process optimization (including AI-driven workflows), and collaborative mentorship within a cross-functional team.

• Database Management: Write efficient, maintainable SQL queries and optimize relational database interactions for scale.
• Quality & Mentorship: Drive code quality through systematic testing and peer code reviews.
• Process Innovation: Continuously improve development workflows by identifying bottlenecks and integrating AI productivity tools where appropriate.
• DevOps & Version Control: Manage source code via Git (branching workflows) and operate confidently within Linux-based environments for development and deployment.
• Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, and customers to translate business needs into seamless technical solutions.

Core Requirements

• The Tech Stack: Expert-level proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript.
• Modern React: Solid experience with React v18+ and modern patterns (Hooks, Context, etc.).
• Data Expertise: Strong experience with SQL and relational database design/optimization.
• Styling: Proficiency in Tailwind CSS or similar modern CSS-in-JS/utility-first frameworks.
• Security Mindset: Deep understanding of OAuth, JWT, and session-based authentication.
• Environment: Competency with the Linux command line and advanced Git workflows.
• Leadership: Proven ability to lead projects, mentor engineers, and communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with Cloud Infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure).
