- Architect and govern REST APIs, WebSocket services, and MCP server integrations across distributed systems built on NestJS/Node.js.
- Design, develop, and integrate AI-powered features using Cloudflare Agents, LangChain, LangGraph, or similar AI agent frameworks.
- Deploy and manage applications on Cloudflare (Workers, Pages) and AWS (S3, Athena, k8s/EKS) edge-first architecture.
- Drive performance optimization, scalability planning, and production reliability across multiple web apps serving internal and external users.
- Lead technical discovery and solutioning for new features, integrations, AI tooling, and platform migrations.
- Own CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices in collaboration with the DevOps team GitLab CI, conventional commits, and deployment automation.
- Conduct deep-dive code reviews and architectural walkthroughs ensuring correctness, maintainability, and TypeScript-first quality.
- Champion automated testing strategy unit, integration, and end-to-end coverage using Jest, Vitest, and Playwright.
- Leverage AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Antigravity) to accelerate development and model best practices for the team.

- Lead and grow a team of 612 engineers manage hiring, onboarding, and career development.
- Set clear goals, expectations, and performance benchmarks conduct regular 1:1s and structured performance reviews.
- Mentor senior and mid-level engineers toward technical leadership; build a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous learning.
- Partner with Product Management to translate business requirements into engineering roadmaps and delivery plans.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (QA, DevOps, Design, Product) to ensure smooth delivery and consistent quality.
- Manage project timelines, dependencies, and technical risk communicate status and blockers to leadership proactively.
- Stay current with emerging technologies AI agents, edge computing, WebSockets, MCP and drive continuous adoption of better engineering practices.
Required Skills (Mandatory):
Technology skills in order of priority:
- TypeScript 10+ years; deep expertise in strong typing, generics, and TypeScript-first architecture on both frontend and backend. TypeScript is the primary language not Python.
- Vue.js & Nuxt.js 7+ years building production-grade applications; deep knowledge of Vue 3 Composition API, Nuxt 3 SSR/SSG, PWA deployment, and component architecture.
- AI Agents hands-on experience with Cloudflare Agents, LangChain, LangGraph, Flue, or similar; prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, and AI-powered feature integration.
- Cloudflare Cloudflare Workers, Pages, and edge deployment at scale; Cloudflare D1 / Supabase familiarity a plus.
- Cloud Providers AWS (S3, Athena, k8s/EKS) and/or Azure; hands-on infrastructure and deployment experience.
- REST APIs, WebSockets & MCP Servers designing, governing, and consuming APIs; real-time services and Model Context Protocol server integration.
- Node.js / NestJS backend service development, TypeScript-based REST and WebSocket APIs.
- SQL / PostgreSQL & Prisma ORM query optimization, data modeling, schema design, and ORM-based data access.
- Git & CI/CD GitLab CI pipelines, conventional commits, branching strategies, and release automation.
- Python working familiarity for scripting and data tasks (deprioritized; TypeScript preferred for all APIs and services).
- UX Engineering mindset deep appreciation for design systems, accessibility, and UI quality; UX engineering background is a strong plus.
Good to Have:
- Kafka (MSK) event-driven messaging and stream processing.
- Docker & Kubernetes containerized deployments and orchestration (AWS EKS).
- Auth0 / JWT enterprise authentication and authorization implementation.
- Tailwind / UnoCSS utility-first CSS and design system component libraries.
- GraphQL / tRPC API design beyond REST.
- Vector databases and AI model integrations AI-native data workflows and RAG systems.
- Health Tech / Payer-side experience healthcare domain knowledge is a strong plus.
- Microservices architecture distributed systems design and scalability patterns.
- Testing: Jest, Vitest, Playwright, Cypress defining and enforcing testing standards across teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- 1014 years of hands-on experience in full stack development.
- At least 23 years in a Technical Lead or Engineering Manager role.
- Proven track record of delivering large-scale, distributed, cloud-hosted applications.
- Demonstrated ability to grow and retain high-performing engineering teams.
- Strong problem-solving, system design, and architectural decision-making skills.
- Excellent communication skills ability to translate complex technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
- A strong, loosely held opinion about what a modern data stack looks like and what belongs or doesn't belong in it.
- Passion for AI-powered engineering especially agent frameworks, edge computing, and modern frontend architecture.
