On the people leadership side, you will conduct 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations; mentor engineers on technical growth and problem-solving; unblock your team on technical, process, and cross-functional challenges; foster a culture of ownership and collaboration; participate in hiring and candidate assessment; and work with product and design partners to translate vision into executable technical plans.
The tech stack includes Typescript across all applications, NestJS API with TypeORM, Postgres, Redis, React, a custom UI library built on shadcn, Tailwind, and GCP.
