Lead Full Stack Engineer

Currently working with a fintech company that is creating a nextgen mortgage company focused on automation, AI, analytics, and thoughtful operating design create better experiences for customers. They are seeking a Lead Full Stack Engineer.

This is a hands-on lead role: roughly 60% of your time is writing and reviewing code (mostly Java/Spring and data, with real work in the React portals), and the remaining 40% is technical leadership - breaking down work, making and documenting design decisions, reviewing your team's PRs, unblocking people, and being accountable for the quality and delivery of your area of the platform. You'll be the technical owner of one or more domains, the person other engineers come to before they start building, and the escalation point when something breaks in production.

Looking for:

• BS/BA in Computer Science or equivalent experience (8+ years of experience)
• 2+ years as a tech lead, team lead, or senior engineer with de facto ownership of a domain and its delivery.
• Deep hands-on Java (17/21) and Spring Boot: Spring Data JPA and/or JDBC, transaction management, Spring MVC REST APIs, dependency injection, and testing at every layer.
• Solid distributed systems practice: asynchronous message-driven processing (SQS/SNS, Kafka, or equivalent), idempotency, retries, eventual consistency, and compensating actions.
• Working proficiency in TypeScript and React - hooks, component composition, forms, async data fetching - sufficient to build and review real product screens.
