Job Description

Lead Software Engineer (Java)

Very LLC

About Very (Remote – North America) Very is a fully distributed technology firm led by expert problem-solvers who create efficient, scalable solutions that move commercial, industrial, and consumer products from pilot to production in record time. We believe that real innovation happens in the grind — working shoulder to shoulder with clients who are building the future. Our team thrives on that energy. When we’re not helping clients deliver business-critical outcomes, we’re refining our craft and celebrating what it means to do hard things well. We’ve built a collaborative, tight-knit culture that thrives in both remote and in-person settings. We’ve won numerous workplace awards over the years, including Great Place to Work certification and recognition from Parity.org as a Best Company for Women to Advance. Our clients include well-known brands like Vizio, Peloton, Clear, iHeart Radio, and Fellowes — all determined to leverage connected devices and AI to drive meaningful impact. Our job is simple: help them win. About This Role A Lead at Very is an individual who operates with the highest degree of knowledge and accountability for the delivery of services to our customers. They provide excellent technical leadership and delivery skills, as it pertains to complex, multi-faceted projects at Very. They have a strong executive presence, which gives major client stakeholders the confidence that we will deliver, and gives our team the confidence and accountability to do so. As a Lead Software Engineer, you will serve as the key technical architect across multiple client engagements, ensuring that each system’s design and implementation align with customer goals and business outcomes. You’ll architect modern, scalable software spanning AWS & Azure infrastructure, backend, web frontend, and mobile — and you’ll get your hands dirty in implementation. Your technical skills must meet a very high standard: you’ll set the bar for engineering excellence through high-quality, maintainable, and scalable code. At Very the key distinction between mid, senior and lead roles is the scope and depth of your expertise and responsibility. As a mid you can own and deliver tasks (work packages) with a high level of professionalism and know when to reach out for help. As a senior, you have deep expertise in your area of specialization and can execute independently in your domain while interfacing with other software stacks. As a lead you become a true full stack engineer with the ability to plan, execute and lead a team across the full software stack, while interfacing with non-software aspects of the project. This is not an easy role. You’ll work in complex domains, under real deadlines, and with clients who expect you to bring clarity, confidence, and results. If you find satisfaction in doing hard things well — in solving tough problems, building real systems, and helping others rise to the challenge — you’ll fit right in. As a client services organization, travel may be required up to 10% of the time. Some clients may also require periodic assignment to 24/7 support rotation. What You’ll Be Working On Every engagement at Very is different, but they share one common theme: we build things that matter. From connected hardware and data systems to large-scale web and AI-driven platforms, you’ll: - Serve as the key technical architect across multiple client engagements, ensuring technical strategy aligns with business goals and measurable outcomes. - Lead architecture design across frontend, backend, and cloud layers, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and performance. - Contribute directly to implementation — writing production-grade code that demonstrates the standard of craftsmanship expected at Very. - Collaborate across disciplines (Hardware, Data Science, and Design) to deliver end-to-end connected and intelligent product ecosystems. - Partner with our commercial team as a solutions engineer, supporting pre-sales efforts, technical scoping, and estimation for Statements of Work. - Establish standards for coding, CI/CD, testing, and deployment that enable predictable, high-quality delivery. - Identify and mitigate architectural or delivery risks early through proactive technical leadership. You’ll operate in a modern, polyglot environment that includes: - Frontend: React, Vite, Expo, TypeScript, WebSockets, Progressive Web Apps - Backend: Java, Dropwizard, Node.js, Python, FastAPI, Django - Cloud: AWS (Lambda, ECS, Fargate, RDS, CloudFront, CloudWatch, SNS, SQS), Azure - DevOps: Docker, Terraform, Pulimi, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines - Databases: Postgres, Redis, TimescaleDB, DynamoDB - Testing: Jest, Cypress, Pytest, and other automated test frameworks Outcomes - Deliver Successful Programs: Lead 2+ concurrent full-stack client projects to successful, on-time delivery with high client satisfaction. - Advance Delivery Standards: Collaborate with Directors and Executives to continuously raise the bar for technical quality and delivery discipline. - Architect for Scale: Define architectures that achieve measurable improvements in system scalability, maintainability, and performance. - Mentor and Develop Teams: Push others to elevate their technical and delivery maturity — and make them better for having worked with you. - Support Growth: Partner with sales and client success teams to secure new opportunities and expand existing engagements. Responsibilities - Lead architecture reviews, ensuring technical integrity, maintainability, and security. - Partner with Product Managers and Technical Leads to translate client needs into technical plans and deliverables. - Contribute high-quality, production-ready code, modeling best practices for implementation and testing. - Ensure adherence to Very’s standards for code quality, testing, and documentation. - Create and maintain automated tests across all layers of the stack. - Develop and manage deployments, CI/CD pipelines, logging, monitoring, and alerting. - Support project health through proactive technical risk identification and mitigation. - Participate in code reviews, offering constructive feedback that improves overall quality. - Contribute to recruitment, onboarding, and development of engineering talent. - Represent Very in client meetings and at industry events as a subject-matter expert. - Lead junior engineers on client programs through development and 24/7 on-call rotation and assist in diagnosing and resolving production issues. Minimum Qualifications General Experience - BS or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field - 10+ years of professional software development experience - 4+ years of experience developing Java based backend applications - 3+ years in a technical leadership role overseeing cross-functional engineering teams - Proven success delivering full-stack systems from concept to production - Demonstrated ability to maintain public facing production systems at scale - Experience leading complex projects involving platform, backend and frontend development - Strong client-facing communication and executive presentation skills - Professional services or consulting experience strongly preferred Technical Proficiency - Deep expertise in multiple backend frameworks especially Django and Dropwizard - Strong front-end experience in React, Expo, Vite, TypeScript - Skilled in relational and non-relational data modeling - Extensive knowledge in building from scratch and supporting event driven cloud platforms in AWS and Azure including security, logging, monitoring, observability and performance at scale - AWS service expertise: Lambda, ECS, Fargate, RDS, CloudFront, CloudWatch, SNS, SQS - Highly proficient in CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or Pulimi) Requirements - Must be US-based. - US Citizen (required). - Must be able to pass a Federal Personnel Security clearance (company will facilitate).

We work hard because our clients’ success depends on it, and we take pride in delivering when others can’t. We collaborate closely, move fast, and stay grounded in results. We take joy in the process — in the problem-solving, the iteration, and the shared wins that come from doing the hard things well. If you’re looking for a place where every project matters, where the standards are high, and where you’ll grow by pushing yourself and others — welcome to Very. IMPORTANT: 1. We don't currently provide Visa Sponsorship. Don't apply if you require this. 2. This job is remote but if you’re not located in the region or country mentioned in the post’s title, do not continue. Your application won’t be reviewed. Interviewing for a new company is a serious time commitment for all parties involved. Please take the time to read this and thoughtfully consider if we would be a good fit for one another. No contractors or agencies. Seriously. #LI-Remote **Note: To qualify for this role, you must reside in the US, be a US Citizen and be able to pass a Federal Personnel Security clearance (company will facilitate).
