- Mentor and guide a team of engineers, fostering best practices in code quality, testing, and performance optimization
- Lead code reviews and technical discussions to ensure high-quality implementation
Required Qualifications - 8+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership role
- Proven track record of building and scaling consumer-facing web applications that handle significant user traffic
- Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, a JS testing framework (cypress, enzyme, react-testing), and modern frontend architecture patterns

- Expertise in GraphQL and frameworks like Apollo, with experience optimizing query performance and caching strategies
- Experience with real-time data visualization and complex UI interactions
- Strong background in building and maintaining microservices architecture
- Track record of leading architectural decisions and technical initiatives
- Experience mentoring engineers and driving technical excellence within teams
- Familiarity with tools in the modern data and ML ecosystem
