Lentia Trading Group

Job Summary:
LENTIA Trading Group is focused on transforming mental wellness for high-demand professions. They are seeking a Lead Full-Stack Engineer to guide the architectural direction and build a new product from scratch, while mentoring a small team.
Responsibilities:
• Lead technical design and architecture for a new product being built from scratch, making the early decisions that will shape it for years.
• Build full-stack: own features end-to-end across the frontend (Next.js or Vue) and backend, including API design, data modeling, and infrastructure choices.
• Mentor and manage 1–2 engineers — running meetings, giving feedback, unblocking them, and growing them as the team grows.
• Partner closely with product and design to translate fuzzy problems into shippable scope, and push back when scope and reality don't match.
• Set the bar for code quality, testing, and review practices in a new codebase where the patterns you establish will compound.
• Make pragmatic trade-offs between speed and durability — knowing when to ship the duct tape version and when to invest in the right abstraction.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 7+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with deep proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and a modern frontend framework (Next.js or Vue).
• Strong product engineering instincts. You think in terms of user outcomes, not just tickets, and you've shipped things customers actually used.
• Experience leading a small team's technical output — whether as a tech lead, staff engineer, or engineering manager. Comfortable giving feedback, running planning, and being accountable for what the team delivers.
• Track record of building something from 0 to 1 — joining early, working through ambiguity, making decisions without complete information.
• Solid backend chops: comfortable designing APIs, working with relational databases, and reasoning about performance and reliability.
• Strong written and verbal communication — you can explain a technical decision to a PM and a junior engineer in the same Slack thread.
Preferred:
• Experience with our adjacent stack (analytics tooling, observability, feature flagging).
• Have managed engineers directly before, even informally.
