Experience in media, content, marketing intelligence, audience engagement, or similar ecosystems (e.g., organizations comparable to BrightTalk, Informa, TechTarget, BrightEdge) is advantageous but not required.

- Serve as the onsite technical lead, providing architectural guidance, technical oversight, and hands-on development support across multiple workstreams.

- Define and uphold engineering best practices, coding standards, and design patterns for full-stack development.

- Lead solution design sessions; translate business requirements into scalable technical architectures and implementation plans.

- Drive technical decision-making related to system design, frameworks, security, integrations, data flows, and cloud infrastructure.

- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Data, DevOps, and QA teams to ensure delivery quality and cross-functional alignment.

Team Management and Mentorship

- Manage, mentor, and elevate engineers of varying levels, fostering a culture of continuous learning and accountability.

- Provide structured technical coaching, code reviews, and career development guidance.

- Facilitate transparent communication across distributed teams, ensuring clarity of scope, delivery expectations, and technical direction.

- Contribute directly to codebases, particularly in areas of complex feature development, architectural frameworks, and performance optimization.

- Develop and maintain scalable front-end applications using React, TypeScript, state management frameworks, and modern component architectures.

- Build and maintain back-end services and APIs in NestJS and Python, including microservices, asynchronous processing, and service orchestration.

- Ensure system resiliency, security, and performance through rigorous engineering standards.

Delivery and Execution

- Lead technical planning and estimation during roadmap and sprint planning cycles.

- Identify and mitigate technical risks, dependencies, and architectural constraints.

- Establish metrics and observability practices to monitor system health and performance.

- Partner with project and product leadership to ensure predictable, high-quality delivery.

- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience with 4+ years in a senior technical leadership capacity.

- Proven expertise in React, TypeScript, modular UI architectures, and modern front-end tooling.

- Proven expertise in NestJS, Node.js, or Python back-end frameworks.

- Strong understanding of relational and non-relational databases, caching strategies, and data modeling.

- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), CI/CD pipelines, and containerization.

- Demonstrated success leading engineering teams or technical initiatives in mid-size or enterprise environments.

- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.

- Strong problem-solving skills, ownership mindset, and a collaborative working style.

- Experience in MediaTech, Content Marketing, Audience Intelligence, Digital Publishing, or related industries. (Optional)

- Familiarity with systems supporting content delivery, personalization, SEO, analytics, or audience engagement workflows.

- Exposure to data engineering, ML-driven recommendations, or search technologies.

- Prior experience modernizing legacy systems or leading large-scale platform transformations.

- The opportunity to shape technical direction and drive engineering excellence within a high-impact environment.

- A role that combines leadership, architecture, and deep hands-on engineering.

- Collaborative cross-functional culture with strong executive support for technical innovation.

- Competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for career advancement.
