Descrição do Emprego - Team Lead - FS Team

About the Role

We're looking for a Full Stack Team Lead to grow and guide an engineering team of 4-6 full stack developers. This is a new team at a new site - you'll be standing it up from the ground: shaping how the team works and buildingit into a site we keep growing.

The team you'll lead works end-to-end - Angular front end, Java/Spring and Node.js services, cloud-native deployment onAWS, and AI-assisted/agentic development workflows. Your team owns a mix of new product work and modernizationofexisting systems, so you'll need to be equally comfortable starting something from scratch and navigating a system youdidn't build.

You'll spend roughly 40% of your time hands-on - architecture calls, design reviews, unblocking the team, prototyping -and the rest leading people, planning, and partnering with our Israel-based teams.

What You'll Do

• Stand up a new team and site - define working agreements and establish the engineering culture
• Lead and grow a team of 4-6 full stack engineers: 1:1s, career development, performance management, hiring
• Own technical direction for your team's services - architecture decisions, design reviews, code quality standards
• Balance new feature development with responsible modernization of existing systems, including migration to AWS
• Champion AI-assisted and agentic development practices across the team - from adopting the right tools to setting standards for how AI is used in code, review, and testing
• Own security and compliance posture for your team's services - secure-by-design architecture, secrets and accessmanagement, dependency and vulnerability handling, and meeting audit and regulatory requirements together withour security teams
• Drive sprint planning, estimation, and delivery in an Agile environment
• Own delivery pipeline health - CI/CD, deployment, observability - in partnership with DevOps
• Partner closely with counterparts and stakeholders in Israel across time zones
