Key Responsibilities :

Technical Leadership (70%) :

• Lead end-to-end architecture of scalable full stack web applications from requirements gathering to production deployment on Cloudflare edge + AWS.
• Actively contribute to critical modules, core services, and system design; hands-on engineering is a core expectation of this role.
• Define and enforce engineering standards including TypeScript-first coding conventions, design patterns, security baselines, and performance benchmarks.
• Architect and govern REST APIs, WebSocket services, and MCP server integrations across distributed systems built on NestJS/Node.js.
• Design, develop, and integrate AI-powered features using Cloudflare Agents, LangChain, LangGraph, or similar AI agent frameworks.
• Deploy and manage applications on AWS (S3, Athena, k8s/EKS) using edge-first architecture.
• Drive performance optimization, scalability planning, and production reliability across multiple web apps serving internal and external users.
• Lead technical discovery and solutioning for new features, integrations, AI tooling, and platform migrations.
• Own CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices in collaboration with the DevOps team including GitLab CI, conventional commits, and deployment automation.
• Conduct deep-dive code reviews and architectural walkthroughs ensuring correctness, maintainability, and TypeScript-first quality.
• Champion automated testing strategy including unit, integration, and end-to-end coverage using Jest, Vitest, and Playwright.
• Leverage AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Antigravity) to accelerate development and model best practices for the team.

People &

• Delivery Management (30%) :
• Lead and grow a team of 6 - 12 engineers by managing hiring, onboarding, and career development.
• Set clear goals, expectations, and performance benchmarks by conducting regular 1:1s and structured performance reviews.
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers toward technical leadership and build a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous learning.
• Partner with Product Management to translate business requirements into engineering roadmaps and delivery plans.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (QA, DevOps, Design, Product) to ensure smooth delivery and consistent quality.
• Manage project timelines, dependencies, and technical risk by communicating status and blockers to leadership proactively.
• Stay current with emerging technologies such as AI agents, edge computing, WebSockets, and MCP and drive continuous adoption of better engineering practices.

Required Skills (Mandatory) :

• TypeScript : 10+ years; deep expertise in strong typing, generics, and TypeScript-first architecture on both frontend and backend.
• AI Agents : Hands-on experience with Cloudflare Agents, LangChain, LangGraph, Flue, or similar; prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, and AI-powered feature integration.
• Cloud Providers : AWS (S3, Athena, k8s/EKS) and/or Azure; hands-on infrastructure and deployment experience.
• REST APIs, WebSockets &
• MCP Servers : Designing, governing, and consuming APIs; real-time services and Model Context Protocol server integration.
• Node.js / NestJS : Backend service development, TypeScript-based REST and WebSocket APIs.
• SQL / PostgreSQL &
• Prisma ORM : Query optimization, data modeling, schema design, and ORM-based data access.
• Git &
• CI/CD : GitLab CI pipelines, conventional commits, branching strategies, and release automation.

Preferred Qualifications :

• 10 - 20 years of hands-on experience in full stack development.
• At least 6 years in a Technical Lead or Engineering Manager role.
• Proven track record of delivering large-scale, distributed, cloud-hosted applications.
• Demonstrated ability to grow and retain high-performing engineering teams.
• Strong problem-solving, system design, and architectural decision-making skills.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
• A strong, loosely held opinion about what a modern data stack looks like and what belongs or doesn't belong in it.
• Passion for AI-powered engineering, especially agent frameworks, edge computing, and modern frontend architecture.
