Lead Software Engineer

The Lead Software Engineer will own the technical roadmap and execution across the team's services, from architecture and planning through delivery, operations, and scaling. They will lead technical discussions across teams, represent services in architectural forums, and drive cross-functional decision-making. The role involves balancing hands-on contribution with team enablement by writing code where needed while coaching others and growing their technical ownership. Additionally, they will drive engineering excellence through robust testing, high-quality code reviews, rollback readiness, observability, and documentation. Collaboration with Product Managers and stakeholders to align technical efforts with customer value and business outcomes, guiding backlog planning, identifying key workstreams, and ensuring alignment between engineering capacity and roadmap goals are key responsibilities. The engineer will also integrate AI and developer tooling to improve development velocity, testing rigor, and team productivity, while fostering a culture of accountability, feedback, and continuous improvement across code, systems, and processes.
