• Write, test, and maintain high-quality application code (primarily Python/Vue), consistently contributing to the team's codebase and setting an example for best practices
• Balance your time effectively between hands-on coding (approximately 50%) and people leadership responsibilities
• Drive efficient and predictable delivery through the consistent application of Agile/Scrum practices, actively tracking and improving team performance using relevant metrics (e.g., DORA)
• Foster strong day-to-day collaboration with Product Management and Design partners, ensuring alignment and a cohesive "one-team" approach to feature delivery
• Provide direct coaching and mentorship to individual team members, focusing on their technical growth, code quality, and adherence to engineering best practices
• Actively contribute to technical design and architecture discussions within your team, guiding day-to-day technical decisions and ensuring alignment with established company-wide standards and guidelines
• Champion a positive, inclusive, and highly productive team culture that encourages collaboration, continuous learning, and technical excellence

You're a great candidate if...

• 3+ years of proven experience as a Senior Software Engineer or existing Team Lead, with a clear passion for technical excellence and emerging people leadership
• Demonstrated aptitude and passion for people leadership, including direct experience mentoring, coaching, and supporting the growth of fellow developers
• Deep, hands-on technical expertise in modern web technologies, including SaaS architectures, cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), and scalable backend/frontend systems. You actively participate in and drive technical design and code reviews
• Experience building and shipping features for large-scale B2B SaaS applications in fast-paced, evolving environments
• Commitment to continuous technical learning and skill enhancement as a software developer, demonstrated through active coding, personal projects, or open-source contributions
