Lead Software Engineer - Unified Portal

We’re looking for a Lead Software Engineer to unify several separate products behind a single Partner Portal and one API. This is a senior IC role built on engineering judgment. You’ll map the existing systems, design and enforce the API contracts that hold them together, and drive delivery while coordinating two teams you don’t manage. You’ll use AI coding agents as your main way of shipping and keep the bar high through review and testing. Success comes from systems thinking, high ownership in an ambiguous space, and clear communication, not from front-end depth.

Responsibilities

Map the existing systems and work out how they fit behind a single portal; Design and enforce the API contracts that let those systems talk through one interface; Drive delivery of the partner portal: catalog, partner login, documentation, and license-key access; Work directly with the product architects who own each product so their docs and artifacts land in the right place; when you notice a product is missing, go find it; Coordinate across the Prague platform team and the US UI team without managing either, including with an L10 team lead on the US side; Use AI coding agents as your main way of shipping, and keep quality high through review and testing; Keep the director’s mental model current; surface risks early, set expectations clearly, and own outcomes in an ambiguous, fast-moving space; primary stakeholders are the sales and sales-engineering teams selling these B2B offerings

Requirements

10 to 15+ years building production software; Expert-level TypeScript; Strong, hands-on AI-assisted development; Deep understanding of APIs and API specs, and a habit of enforcing contracts between services; Real systems-thinking ability; High ownership and genuine comfort with ambiguity; Strong communication and program-management instincts

Nice to have

Some front-end ability (TypeScript, a little React or Next.js); Experience consolidating legacy systems behind a new surface (strangler-style migrations); Comfort collaborating across time zones with US and India counterparts; Familiarity with Python

Benefits

Flexible working options; Time off; Competitive pay; Well-being programs
