What You’ll Do

Own Technical Direction Across Teams

– Drive architectural decisions for our Node.js middleware, Swift-based POS applications, and integrations with our IBM i backend systems. Establish technical standards and patterns that work across both teams. Be the tiebreaker when senior engineers disagree on approach.

Build and Maintain Our Tech Debt Roadmap

– Partner with the Engineering Manager to assess system health and prioritize debt paydown. Sequence debt work strategically alongside feature delivery. Make the case for infrastructure investment to stakeholders when needed.

Enable Delegation and Execution

– Break down ambiguous projects into clear technical plans that engineers can run with. Unblock teams by making decisions, documenting trade‑offs, and providing context. Reduce bottlenecks by owning technical scoping and estimation for new initiatives.

Stay Hands‑On Where It Matters

– Contribute to design docs, code reviews, and critical path implementation. Dig into production issues and integration problems when needed. Write and review code across backend and mobile systems.

Documentation and Knowledge Sharing

– Promote documentation and cross‑team learning to ensure alignment, consistency, and sustainability within the engineering organization.

Architecture & Systems Integration

Full‑Stack Expertise

– Skilled in JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and Swift with a strong understanding of API‑driven architectures.

Collaboration & Communication

– Works cross‑functionally with product, design, and business teams to translate ideas into impactful solutions. Leads through influence without direct authority.

Prioritization & Road‑mapping

– Knows how to balance feature delivery with tech debt paydown and can build roadmaps that reflect real‑world constraints.
