Skill Requirements
  • Software Engineering
  • Javascript Developer
  • Full Stack Developer
  • Engineering Manager Roles

We’re working with a fast-growing B2B SaaS company building a market-defining compensation intelligence platform used by some of the most ambitious businesses globally. The product is data-heavy, mission-critical, and scaling quickly — which means the engineering challenges are both complex and high-impact.

They’re hiring a Lead Software Engineer to take ownership of major parts of the platform and play a key role in shaping technical direction, engineering standards, and team growth.

This is a role for someone who wants to be hands-on, technically credible, and influential — not a people manager detached from the codebase.

What you’ll be doing

  • Owning the technical direction of core systems and major initiatives

  • Leading the design and delivery of scalable, production-grade TypeScript systems

  • Acting as a technical decision-maker and escalation point across the team

  • Mentoring and supporting senior and mid-level engineers

  • Driving best practices around architecture, testing, and code quality

  • Working closely with product and leadership to align technical strategy with business goals

What they’re looking for

  • Significant experience building and scaling product-focused software

  • Strong, demonstrable expertise in TypeScript (Node.js and/or modern frontend frameworks)

  • Proven track record of leading complex technical projects end-to-end

  • Comfortable setting direction, making trade-offs, and taking responsibility

  • Experience operating in fast-paced scale-up environments

Why this role stands out

  • True technical leadership with real influence over architecture and standards

  • Clear path to Staff / Principal / Head-of-level scope as the company grows

  • High trust, low politics engineering culture

  • Opportunity to shape both the platform and the engineering function

  • Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and strong benefits

This role suits a senior engineer who’s already operating at lead level — or someone ready to step up into a position with genuine ownership, visibility, and long-term impact.
