We are looking for a Full Stack Engineering Team Lead to provide day-to-day technical direction to a full stack engineering team while remaining close to the code.
This is a hands-on, player-coach role for someone who can turn product priorities into practical technical plans, guide sound architecture decisions, and help engineers deliver reliable software with confidence.
You will work across front-end, back-end, cloud, and infrastructure components, balancing immediate delivery needs with the long-term quality, security, maintainability, and scalability of the platform.
What You’ll Do (Essential Responsibilities):
- Lead the team’s day-to-day technical direction and support delivery against agreed priorities.
- Contribute hands-on to the design, development, testing, deployment, and support of production software.
- Guide architecture and design decisions across front-end, back-end, cloud, and infrastructure components.
- Break down complex initiatives into clear, actionable technical work and help the team estimate effort and dependencies.
- Mentor engineers, facilitate technical discussions, and help colleagues strengthen their engineering capabilities.
- Review code and reinforce engineering standards for quality, maintainability, scalability, security, observability, and testing.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and other stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate them into practical technical solutions.
- Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies early, communicate them clearly, and drive appropriate action.
- Improve development practices, tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and the team’s ways of working.
- Promote ownership throughout the application lifecycle, including deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and production support.
- Build a collaborative culture grounded in accountability, knowledge sharing, continuous learning, and Mitek’s values of Delivering, Learning, and Caring.
- Significant professional software engineering experience, including experience leading technical work or mentoring other engineers.
- Strong back-end development experience. Production experience with Go would be highly desirable.
- Strong experience with JavaScript and single-page application frameworks, particularly React.
- A track record of designing and delivering production-grade full stack applications.
- A strong understanding of software architecture, APIs, distributed systems, and modern application development practices.
- Experience building clean, maintainable, production-hardened code and writing unit, integration, and performance tests.
- Experience with Amazon Web Services. Exposure to services such as S3, SQS, ECS, EC2, and Lambda would be particularly relevant.
- Proficiency with Git, collaborative software development workflows, code reviews, and modern engineering practices.
- The ability to translate business and product requirements into practical technical solutions.
- Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills, including the ability to guide the resolution of complex production issues.
- Professional fluency in written and spoken English, with the ability to build alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- TypeScript, Redux, HTML, CSS, and template engines such as Freemarker or Thymeleaf.
- Experience with non-relational databases such as MongoDB, DocumentDB, or RavenDB.
- Experience provisioning cloud infrastructure through code using CloudFormation, Terraform, or a comparable technology.
- NPM or a comparable package manager and Cypress or similar front-end testing tools.
- Experience designing distributed systems using serverless technologies or microservices architectures.
- Bash scripting and familiarity with Java, Groovy, or Python.
- Experience working in Agile teams and coordinating delivery across several technical or business stakeholders.
- Previous experience as a Technical Lead, Team Lead, Lead Engineer, or in a similar player-coach role.
You will be successful in this role when:
- The team consistently delivers reliable, high-quality software against clear priorities.
- Architecture and technical decisions are pragmatic, documented, and understood by the people who need to act on them.
- Risks, blockers, and dependencies are identified early and handled constructively.
- Engineers receive the guidance, context, and support they need to work effectively and continue developing.
- The platform becomes easier to maintain, operate, secure, and scale while the team continues delivering customer value.
