The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Lead Full Stack Developer who enjoys both building and leading. You’ll drive development of the core platform, manage a growing team of engineers, and write production-level code across the stack.

You’ll work closely with the CTO to translate product goals into scalable architecture, while also owning sprint planning, task scoping, and development processes.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll guide a talented team of engineers, solve complex technical challenges, and shape product features from backend infrastructure to frontend interface. It’s ideal for someone who wants to balance leadership with coding — with the opportunity to grow into a Head of Engineering position.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the full-stack architecture (Python, Flask, React)
• Lead sprint planning, task assignments, and engineering operations
• Collaborate on roadmap execution and technical priorities
• Mentor and guide engineers while writing scalable, high-quality code
• Architect and build new features end-to-end, from API design to UI
• Design and maintain microservices and internal APIs
• Manage and improve AWS infrastructure (ECS/Kubernetes, autoscaling workers)
• Ensure strong standards for security, performance, and reliability
• Promote a pragmatic, user-centered engineering culture

What We’re Looking For

• Required Skills
• 5+ years as a full stack engineer (Python, Flask, React/JS), including 2+ years in a technical leadership role
• Strong experience building scalable backend systems and APIs
• Solid understanding of system design principles (latency, throughput, reliability, observability, cost tradeoffs)
• Experience with microservice-based architectures
• Hands-on cloud infrastructure experience (AWS preferred)
• Strong frontend knowledge (React, component architecture, state management, performance optimization)
• Comfortable with technical scoping, breaking down features, and assigning/prioritizing work
• Clear communicator for documentation, code reviews, and mentoring

• Nice-to-Haves
• Experience with video, media tech, or ML/AI platforms
• UI/UX sensibility
• Strong awareness of security best practices
• Startup experience, ideally early engineer or lead

Culture & Mindset

• Transparent, humble, and collaborative
• High ownership and accountability
• Clear and assertive communication in remote, multicultural settings
• Proactive, autonomous, and solution-oriented
• Supportive but focused on priorities and deadlines
• Passionate about technology, innovation, and user experience
• Comfortable managing remote teams and navigating conflict constructively
• International experience and professional English skills
