We are building a Lead JavaScript Full Stack Engineer role to guide a five-product pod centered on an explorer platform spanning 10 repos and event-driven services. You will steer sprint delivery, raise event stream reliability across Confluent Kafka consumers, and run the field notes sunset migration while shipping features on explorer and live.
Responsibilities
- Set technical direction across five products that share a TypeScript/Node.js stack
- Drive event stream reliability improvements on the explorer platform, including dead-letter queue implementation, retry patterns, and consumer failure handling
- Resolve the authentication stability fix impacting the explorer platform's DynamoDB-backed auth layer
- Perform code reviews and maintain engineering standards across the pod
- Lead sprint planning, backlog refinement, and delivery risk management for the Exploration Pod
- Run the field notes platform sunset migration while continuing active feature delivery on other products
- Monitor and communicate pod-level delivery health to the Engagement Lead
- Mentor pod engineers and help grow their skills, especially in event-driven patterns and PostgreSQL data modeling
- Partner with the Business Analyst to confirm stories are well-defined before sprint planning
- Contribute to cross-pod architecture discussions with the Solution Architect
- Coach engineers on effective AI-assisted development, particularly for complex event-driven debugging and data consistency problem-solving
- Use AI-assisted incident diagnosis to analyze logs, trace consumer failures, and propose remediation steps
Requirements
- Proven track record with 5+ years of experience as a full stack engineer and strong event-driven systems experience
- Demonstrated ability to lead a team through high complexity without losing delivery momentum
- Hands-on proficiency in TypeScript, Next.js, and NestJS
- Deep understanding of Confluent Kafka, including KafkaJS and Avro
- Solid background with PostgreSQL and TypeORM
- Working familiarity with Redis (ElastiCache)
- Practical knowledge of AWS ECS/Lambda and GitLab CI
- Experience leading a team that uses AI coding assistants as part of the standard development workflow
- Clear understanding of identity management concepts and constructs, ideally with Auth0 or equivalent identity management platforms
- English proficiency at B2 level (Upper-Intermediate) or higher
