Tech Lead Manager, Full Stack

Job Title: Tech Lead Manager, Full Stack
Job ID: 87982
Location: New York, New York

What you will be doing:
Technical Leadership & Execution 

• Own the architecture and delivery of full-stack features—from ReactJS/TypeScript UIs to backend services, APIs, and data pipelines.

• Design and build highly-scaled data processing pipelines (batch + streaming) and distributed backend systems.

• Drive engineering excellence: lead architecture discussions, set standards for code quality, scalability, and performance, and participate in the full software lifecycle from design through deployment and on-call.

• Make pragmatic technical decisions that balance short-term delivery with long-term system health.

• Leverage modern infrastructure including PostgreSQL, Redis, Kubernetes, and streaming technologies to power our metrics and AI workflows.

• Engage in hands-on coding, code reviews, and performance optimizations, setting the standard for technical excellence across the team.

• Champion frontend quality—performance, accessibility, and an intuitive, seamless user experience.

• Implement best practices in testing, observability, and performance monitoring to ensure reliability and uptime.

People Management & Team Leadership

• Manage, mentor, and grow a team of full-stack and specialized engineers, owning their career growth, performance reviews, and professional development.

• Conduct regular 1:1s, provide timely and constructive feedback, and create individual development plans for each report.

• Foster a culture of psychological safety, trust, accountability, and continuous improvement.

• Own team planning: scope work with Product and Design, participate in sprint planning and Agile ceremonies, and remove blockers.

• Drive hiring for the team—defining roles, conducting interviews, and making hiring decisions to build a world-class engineering team.

• Maintain team health by monitoring workload, preventing burnout, and ensuring sustainable delivery.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Product Managers and Designers to translate product vision into well-defined technical plans.

• Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly to engineering leadership and stakeholders.

• Collaborate across teams to drive alignment on shared systems, APIs, and platform capabilities.

What you must have:

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• 7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with a strong full-stack background spanning modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript) and backend systems.

• 2+ years of engineering management or tech lead experience, including direct reports, mentorship, and team-level delivery ownership.

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and at least one backend language (Ruby, Python, or Node.js).

• Deep understanding of HTML, CSS, modern frontend tooling, component-based architecture, and state management.

• Proven experience designing, building, and operating scalable distributed systems in data-heavy environments.

• Solid grasp of software engineering best practices: testing, code review, CI/CD, design documentation.

• Experience with RESTful APIs, relational databases (PostgreSQL), and cloud-native architecture (Kubernetes, containerization, microservices).

• A systems-level thinker who balances technical excellence with pragmatic, business-aware decision-making.

• Excellent communication skills—you can translate complex technical concepts for both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

• Demonstrated ability to balance technical execution with people leadership—comfortable context-switching between writing code and coaching engineers.

• Early-stage startup experience (Seed to Series C) preferred—comfortable wearing multiple hats and building in fast-moving environments.
