Who you’ll be working with

We build the solutions dreamed up by the product and design teams. Our goal is to deliver working software every two weeks. We are a large team that spans across three global offices, but we collaborate and integrate front- and back-end components and interfaces to provide a user-centered experience through web and mobile platforms.

We expect this role to embody Codal’s principles of mindful excellence, insatiable expertise,  diverse intuition, data-led curiosity, and candid leadership in how you lead technically, mentor your team, and engage with clients.

• Participate and drive technical decision-making  across architecture, tooling, and implementation approaches.
• Establish and promote consistent engineering practices, coding patterns, and standards  across the team.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership on active projects, helping unblock engineers, resolve technical challenges, and keep delivery on track.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance and feedback  to help grow the team's capabilities.
• Partner with Engineering and Project leadership to establish clear technical guardrails, standards, and ownership  across projects.
• Serve as the primary technical voice  in client conversations for your project, shaping scope and technical approach with the client rather than only executing what’s handed down.
• Support new business pursuits  as needed, contributing technical scoping, proof-of-concept work, or estimates for prospective client engagements.
