You will lead delivery on client projects end to end: TypeScript across the stack, PostgreSQL underneath, and a client who expects a working demo every Thursday. Expect to own architecture decisions, review code daily, and mentor two or three engineers.
What you will do
Design and build web applications with React, Node.js, and TypeScript across two concurrent client projects
Own the data model and API design for your projects, including PostgreSQL schema and migration strategy
Review every merge on your team and hold the bar on tests, security, and readability
Run the Thursday client demo and turn feedback into scoped, estimated tickets
Mentor mid-level engineers through pairing sessions at least twice a week
Contribute to estimates and technical proposals during pre-sales
What you bring
6+ years building production web applications, with at least 3 in TypeScript
Deep experience with React and Node.js, including performance debugging in both
Strong SQL and schema design skills; you have owned a PostgreSQL database in production
A track record of shipping client-facing projects on deadline, not just internal tools
Comfortable writing integration tests and setting up CI pipelines
Clear written communication; our delivery process runs on written plans and summaries
Nice to have
Experience with Prisma or another typed ORM at scale
Exposure to construction, logistics, or fintech domains
Prior consulting or agency experience with direct client contact
Contributions to a design system or shared component library
The process
Portfolio review, one technical conversation about work you have shipped, and a session with the pod you would join. About two weeks end to end, and every application gets a human reply.
