Lead Software Engineer

The ReWork Group partners with high-growth startups and forward-thinking companies to build the future. They are seeking a Lead Software Engineer who will own the backend development from design to production, mentor team members, and ensure high-quality code and systems in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities:

• Architecture. Design and stand up backend services that hold up under real load, not just on a slide
• APIs. Build the interfaces the rest of the product leans on, and build them to last
• Data. Go deep on databases: schema, queries, and the performance work that separates fast products from slow ones
• Quality. Ship with strong unit testing, because the bugs that reach production are the expensive kind
• DevOps. Deploy, monitor, and improve systems in production. You own what you ship, end to end
• Mentorship. Grow the engineers around you. Your best leverage isn't your own keyboard; it's the team's

Requirements:

• Real production experience building and running backend services at scale, not just prototypes
• Expert-level Python experience
• Solid understanding of DevOps concepts, including containers, deployment, monitoring, and reliability
• Fluency with API design and the tradeoffs that come with it
• Deep database chops: you can model the data, write the queries, and find the bottleneck
• A track record of testing and operational discipline, because you've felt the cost of skipping it
• Enough leadership range to mentor without a title and to level up a team by example
