About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Tech Lead/Architect to guide the technical delivery of a strategic internal application for one of the world’s top private equity firms. The project involves rapid design-build sprints to deliver modular dashboards and workflows that scale across asset classes.
You’ll lead a globally distributed engineering team, working closely with product managers, designers, and client stakeholders. This is a hybrid role based in New York, with partial on-site presence.
You’ll be responsible for both execution and technical oversight — helping shape a scalable frontend component architecture, and integrating with serverless backend services (AWS Lambda, Fargate).
Your Responsibilities:
- Lead the design and implementation of micro-apps using React, backed by Node.js/Python services
- Architect and own backend logic using serverless functions (Lambda) and containerized services (Fargate)
- Partner with Product and Design to translate business needs into scalable, high-quality software
- Establish and enforce code quality, testing, and deployment standards
- Guide a distributed engineering team, reviewing code and supporting onboarding of new devs
- Identify reusable frontend/backend components and help establish a design-build library
- Maintain high development velocity while ensuring robust infrastructure integration
- Act as the technical point of contact for client engineering teams
What We’re Looking For
- 12 years of fullstack development experience (React, Node.js and/or Python)
- Experience leading technical delivery across distributed product teams
- Strong knowledge of AWS serverless architecture: Lambda, Fargate, API Gateway
- Familiar with containerized development, CI/CD pipelines, and platform-level routing
- Skilled in translating technical complexity into clear direction and action
- Comfortable working in a hybrid on-site/remote setting with executive stakeholders
- Strong communication and mentoring skills
Nice to Have:
- Background in enterprise, SaaS, or financial tools
- Experience setting up design systems or component libraries
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, SSO, JWT authentication, and platform authorization patterns
