Lead Full Stack Developer

Write and ship production code regularly across the full stack — backend services, APIs, and frontend UIs — this is a hands-on engineering role, not a purely architectural one

Own technical decisions across a multi-service backend platform (C#/.NET and Java/Spring Boot) deployed on Kubernetes (AWS EKS), and the React/TypeScript frontends that consume them

Build and maintain frontend UI components and views using React and TypeScript, ensuring they integrate cleanly with the backend services and APIs you own

Ensure end-to-end quality from API contract to browser behavior — you own the whole delivery chain, not just the service layer

Use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) as a daily working tool to write, review, and ship code faster and with higher quality — not as an occasional experiment

Build and champion internal AI-driven tooling and automation — for testing, deployment validation, code review, or developer workflows — that removes manual toil for the whole team

Design and drive cross-service and cross-stack initiatives — architecture changes, shared libraries, UI component systems, migrations — spanning multiple codebases and languages

Learn and stay current on how our lease-to-own business actually works — leasing terms, payments, tax handling, customer lifecycle — so technical tradeoffs reflect real business impact, not just engineering elegance

Collaborate and participate in developing solutions together in cross-discipline teams

Actively participate in code reviews, leveraging them to enforce best practices, software craftsmanship, and effective use of AI tooling across the team

Every engineer plays a part in the development and evolution of our technology roadmap — contribute to evaluations as we select new software, tools, and AI capabilities to deploy in our environments

Participate in production support: deployments, incident response, and root-cause analysis

Demonstrate a high sense of ownership and accountability for work produced

8+ years' experience in a software engineering function, still hands-on and writing code day to day across both frontend and backend

Hands-on experience with a modern frontend framework — React strongly preferred; TypeScript, component design patterns, and state management

Real depth in at least one of C#/.NET or Java/Spring on the backend, with enough range to be productive in both

The ability to own delivery end-to-end — from API design through UI implementation and browser-level testing — not just the layer you're most comfortable in

Daily, hands-on fluency with AI coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) — built real habits around them, not just tried them once

Experience building internal tooling or automation that measurably reduces manual engineering work

Genuine curiosity about the business behind the code — willingness to learn how lease-to-own, payments, and tax logic work so you can make better engineering calls, not just take tickets at face value

Creative problem solving and critical thinking skills

A passion for enriching the day-to-day developer experience

Track record operating across multiple services/repos and stacks rather than staying in one lane

Experience with cloud-native deployment (AWS EKS/Kubernetes) and modern CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, GitOps/ArgoCD)

A desire to work cross-team, cross-stack

Strong fundamentals: async I/O patterns, resilience (retries/circuit breakers), API design, and financial/decimal-precision correctness where money is involved

Experience mentoring engineers and driving technical decisions without needing heavy direction
