About the Role
We are looking for a technically authoritative and emotionally intelligent Senior Software Engineer to step into a Team Lead role. You will not just be writing code; you will be the technical compass for a team of developers, bridging the gap between high-level architectural planning and low-level implementation.
You are the right fit if you are a "Master of All Trades"—you can optimize a complex database query, debug a frontend race condition, architect a backend API, and plan a sprint roadmap, all before lunch.
Key Responsibilities
1. Technical Leadership & Team Management
• Lead, mentor, and unblock a team of [X] developers.
• Conduct rigorous code reviews to ensure scalability, security, and maintainability.
• Foster a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
2. Architecture & Development (Frontend/Backend)
• Architect and build robust, scalable backend systems (API design, microservices).
• Drive frontend excellence, ensuring high performance and responsive UI/UX.
• Make critical decisions regarding the technology stack and tools.
3. Database Mastery
• Design complex database schemas and data models.
• Perform advanced database tuning, indexing, and query optimization.
• Ensure data integrity and consistency across distributed systems.
4. Strategic Planning & Execution
• Translate business requirements into technical specifications and actionable tasks.
• Lead Agile ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Stand-ups, Retrospectives).
• Manage project timelines, estimate delivery dates accurately, and mitigate technical debt risks.

Required Qualifications (The Must-Haves)
• Experience: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 1+ year in a leadership or mentoring capacity.
• Backend Mastery: Deep expertise in server-side languages (e.g., Node.js, PHP, Java, or Go) and API design patterns (REST/GraphQL).
• Frontend Mastery: Advanced proficiency in modern frameworks (React, Vue, or Angular) and state management.
• Database Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of Relational (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and Non-Relational (MongoDB/Redis) databases. You must understand ACID properties, normalization, and replication strategies.
• Planning & Process: Proven ability to break down complex features into manageable tickets (Jira/Linear) and manage the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Preferred Qualifications (The "Nice-to-Haves")
• Cloud Infrastructure (AWS): Hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services, specifically EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, and CI/CD pipelines.
• EdTech Domain Knowledge: Experience building software for the education sector. Familiarity with LMS standards (LTI, SCORM), SIS integrations, or student/teacher workflows is a massive plus.
• Educational Background: B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or a related engineering field.
Why Join Us?
• Impact: Your architectural decisions will directly shape the future of our product.
• Growth: A clear pathway to Engineering Manager or Staff Engineer roles.
• Culture: We value planning and precision over "move fast and break
things."
