Plano, Texas (near Dallas) | No Relocation Assistance
The Sands is seeking a Lead Software Engineer with strong expertise in Node.js, React, and JavaScript/TypeScript. We are not considering candidates with a Java background, as this role is focused on modern JavaScript-based technologies and requires hands-on experience building scalable applications within that ecosystem rather than in Java-based frameworks. Additionally, Angular is considered an opposing technology for this position, as the team’s front-end stack is centered on React.
We’re hiring Lead Software Engineers to join our team and help drive the design and development of innovative applications. In this role, you’ll provide technical leadership, mentor engineers, and deliver scalable software using modern tools and frameworks.

• Build and optimize reusable React components, RESTful APIs, and microservices
• Provide technical guidance and set best practices for code quality, testing, and architecture
• Partner with product, design, and QA to deliver software on time and to spec
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers
• Conduct code reviews, define project timelines, and communicate progress to stakeholders
• Drive innovation while ensuring clean, maintainable, and scalable code
What We’re Looking For
• 7+ years of software engineering experience
• Strong background in Node.js, React, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Bash
• 2+ years working with MongoDB/Redis and messaging systems like Kafka or MQ
• Experience with Microservices, REST APIs, GraphQL, and JSON
• Solid database design skills (SQL + NoSQL)
