Job Description
Lead Software Engineer – Writing Team
Newsela
• Own architecture decisions for the writing-app and evaluate technical trade-offs that balance speed, quality, and maintainability. • Define and evolve the team's technical standards (coding patterns, testing expectations, dependency management) and drive technical debt reduction alongside feature work. • Lead triage and technical coordination during incidents. Drive root cause analysis and propose preventive measures. Be the first responder when production issues arise for the writing product. • Actively drive technical discussions in grooming, planning, standups, and retros. Ensure technical decisions are documented where appropriate. • Review significant PRs and provide substantive feedback, catch architectural issues before they merge, and ensure PRs are appropriately sized and scoped. • Drive obstacle resolution during sprints - unblock engineers, make technical calls, escalate when needed. Identify and flag risks early. • Translate between product requirements and technical implementation for the team. Communicate technical status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to the Engineering Manager and stakeholders. • Leverage AI/LLM-powered workflows and code-generation tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot) to stay efficient and productive, with code reviews to ensure quality and security.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years building modern web applications in a SaaS environment, with significant full-stack experience.
- Strong proficiency in React/Next.js (frontend) and Python (backend). Comfortable with database design, API architecture, and frontend state management.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, deployment processes, and monitoring (Datadog or similar).
- Experience with rich text editors, document collaboration, or ProseMirror/similar frameworks is a strong plus.
- Comfort using AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) responsibly with security and license awareness.
- Demonstrated ability to self-direct - picks up work, drives it to completion, and identifies what needs to be done without being told.
- Code review discipline - history of providing substantive, constructive feedback (not just approvals).
- Experience in making technical decisions under ambiguity and communicating the reasoning.
- Strong communication & collaboration skills: active in meetings, clear async writing in Slack/Jira/documentation, comfortable giving and receiving direct technical feedback.
