The ideal candidate brings 10-15+ years of full-stack experience, thrives in fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environments, and has a track record of leading distributed, multi-time zone teams.

• Design and implement low-latency, high-availability, and performant applications across the full stack.
• Lead front-end (Vue/Vuex) and back-end (.NET) development, setting patterns and standards for the team.
• Own SQL database architecture and query performance across your team’s domains.
• Drive adoption of microservice and micro front-end architecture best practices.
• Share in DevOps responsibilities and champion observability tooling and practices.
• Participate in and often facilitate agile (Scrum/Kanban) ceremonies for your team.

Required Leadership Experience:

• Proven experience leading a team of developers in a remote or hybrid environment
• Experience managing or collaborating across multiple time zones
• Strong async communication skills - comfortable with written documentation, structured async workflows, and remote-first practices
• Ability to operate and deliver in fast-paced, ambiguous environments without loss of quality or team morale
