Title: Lead Software Engineer

Location: Remote

We are seeking an exceptional Development Leader to lead high-performing, full-stack engineering teams delivering modern, scalable applications. This leader is hands-on, technically credible, and deeply accountable for quality, delivery, and team success.

The ideal candidate has led in a Java Spring Boot microservices backend with a React and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) front end, and thrives in environments that demand high standards, continuous improvement, and decisive leadership. This role requires someone who challenges the status quo, raises the bar, and builds teams that consistently deliver.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Hands-On Contribution

• Provide hands-on technical leadership across the full stack, including:
  • Java / Spring Boot microservices
  • API design and distributed systems
  • React-based front ends and AEM-driven experiences
• Review architecture, designs, and code to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable
• Actively participate in design reviews, production issue resolution, and complex technical decisions
• Set clear technical standards and ensure they are consistently followed across the team

Engineering Excellence & Quality Ownership

• Be personally accountable for code quality, reliability, and production readiness
• Ensure strong engineering discipline including:
  • Code reviews and design reviews
  • Automated testing and CI/CD best practices
  • Clear definitions of done and quality gates
• Proactively identify and address technical debt before it impacts delivery or stability
• Establish a culture where quality is owned by the team, not inspected in later

People Leadership & Team Success

• Lead, coach, and develop engineers across levels, building high-trust, high-performance teams
• Set clear expectations, provide direct feedback, and hold the team accountable for results
• Identify skill gaps and invest in growth through mentoring, learning, and stretch opportunities
• Create an environment where engineers feel empowered, challenged, and supported

Delivery & Accountability

• Own delivery outcomes for your teams - commitments, timelines, and results matter
• Partner closely with Product Owners, Architects, and stakeholders to translate strategy into execution
• Drive predictable, high-quality delivery while balancing speed, scope, and sustainability
• Surface risks early and take decisive action to keep teams on track

Change Agent & Status Quo Challenger

• Challenge outdated processes, inefficient practices, and unnecessary complexity
• Drive continuous improvement in how the team plans, builds, tests, and delivers software
• Encourage healthy debate and data-driven decision making
• Lead by example - modeling ownership, transparency, and bias for action

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software development experience
• 3+ years leading engineering teams in a full-stack environment
• Strong hands-on experience with:
  • Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architectures
  • React front-end development
  • Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)
• Proven track record of delivering high-quality software at scale
• Experience holding teams accountable while maintaining strong morale and trust

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading teams in platform or enterprise-scale environments
• Telecom, media, or large distributed system experience

What Success Looks Like

• Teams consistently deliver high-quality, reliable software
• Engineers are engaged, growing, and proud of what they build
• Quality issues and rework decline over time
• Technical debt is actively managed, not ignored
• The team continuously improves - not because they are told to, but because the leader expects it
