About the Role
The Lead Software Engineer is a critical role responsible for providing technical leadership within a domain-aligned cohort, guiding engineers in delivering quality, scalable SaaS products. You will leverage AI tools and co-worker agents such as Claude Code to specify, implement, validate, deploy, and support the most complex features end-to-end, focusing your expertise on architectural judgment, specification quality, and mentorship.

Software Design, Delivery & Mentorship
• Create software designs that consider both current and future requirements with a DevOps mindset that will scale as our volumes increase
• Design and implement REST APIs following established patterns, and support and maintain both UI and backend services within your cohort’s domain
• Lead technical decisions and own domain expertise within your cohort
• Mentor engineers across the cohort on effective AI tool usage, spec writing techniques, and code review practices
What You’ll Bring
Required Skills:
• 7+ years of relevant software engineering experience, with at least 2 years designing and implementing enterprise SaaS systems
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or equivalent experience), along with a firm understanding of data structures and scalable software design
• Experience coding enterprise systems at scale, with mastery of C#, C++, PHP, Java, Node.js or a similar high-level language
• Proficiency in HTML5, CSS/Sass, Angular, React, TypeScript/JavaScript, and other web technologies, with a strong ability to design and implement REST APIs
• Strong understanding of SQL and relational databases (such as SQL Server or MySQL), and proficiency in multiple persistence technologies such as NoSQL and indexed files
• Demonstrated experience working with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar), including strong code review skills to validate correctness and identify issues in AI-generated and human-written code
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of mentoring engineers and translating business requirements into technical specifications alongside Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and cross-functional teams
• Well-honed skills in source control management using Git or similar, and experience with AWS, Azure, or a similar cloud platform
Preferred Skills:
• Experience with spec-driven, agentic AI workflows where engineers delegate autonomous tasks to AI tools and provide guidance and oversight
• Experience establishing AI development practices or standards across teams
