• Represent the full-stack engineering perspective in strategic planning, resource allocation, and cross-company technical decisions Identify and develop emerging technical leaders within the team, creating growth pathways and opportunities for engineers to expand their impact across the stack
Qualifications:
Required:
• 12+ years of software development experience, with demonstrated expertise across both frontend and backend development
• Expert-level mastery of HTML/CSS and modern TypeScript/JavaScript, including deep understanding of performance optimization, browser internals, memory management, and runtime characteristics
• Deep expertise in modern React and the broader frontend ecosystem, including architectural patterns for large-scale applications, advanced state management, performance profiling and optimization, and emerging frontend technologies
• Expert-level mastery of Elixir and OTP, including deep understanding of BEAM internals, scheduling, memory management, garbage collection, process architecture, and runtime characteristics at scale
• Deep expertise in designing, building, and evolving large-scale distributed systems, including architectural patterns for fault tolerance, consistency, availability, clustering, and horizontal scalability
• Proven track record of establishing comprehensive testing strategies across the full stack, including unit, integration, property-based, and end-to-end, including championing testing culture and tooling adoption
• Extensive experience designing, building, and evolving component libraries, design systems, service architectures, and internal infrastructure that serve multiple teams and products
• Expert-level understanding of distributed systems integration patterns including gRPC, REST, WebSockets, and GraphQL, with experience defining API contracts and influencing architecture decisions across the stack
• History of leading technical initiatives in Git-based workflows, establishing code review standards, and fostering collaborative engineering culture
• U.S. Citizen and eligible for DoD Secret or TS/SCI clearance
Preferred:
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or similar discipline
• Proven experience as a technical lead, staff engineer, or principal engineer on production systems with significant user bases and business-critical requirements, with responsibility spanning multiple layers of the stack
• Track record of leading large-scale migrations, architectural overhauls, or platform rewrites across frontend and backend systems while maintaining product velocity and system reliability
• Deep expertise building and optimizing complex, data-intensive applications with demanding performance requirements (real-time processing, large-scale datasets, complex visualizations, distributed systems) across the full stack
• Advanced proficiency with Three.js, React Three Fiber, WebGL, or other web-based 3D rendering technologies, including low-level performance optimization and shader programming
• Deep mastery of OTP including BEAM scheduling, GenServers, run queues, pg, the Actor model, dynamic supervisors, registries, distributed process groups, and custom OTP behaviours, with experience pushing the boundaries of the runtime
• Advanced experience with database design and optimization at scale, including PostgreSQL internals, replication strategies, and data modeling for distributed systems
• Extensive experience with monitoring, observability, and distributed tracing across the full stack, including designing observability strategies and incident response frameworks
• Experience bridging engineering and design through deep UI/UX collaboration, design systems development, and tools like Figma, able to influence design decisions with technical constraints and possibilities
• Experience in highly regulated industries (aerospace, defense, healthcare, finance) with understanding of compliance, security, and operational constraints
• Published technical writing, open source contributions, or conference speaking that demonstrates thought leadership
• Exceptional communication skills that enable you to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels of the organization
