* Engage directly with clients, shaping technical solutions and influencing decisions
* Stay close to the code, acting as a senior technical authority
* Mentor engineers and help elevate team capability and standards
What They're Looking For
* Strong experience building modern full-stack applications (JS/TS/Node or similar)
* Deep expertise in at least one modern frontend framework (React, Vue, Next.Js)
* Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP), CI/CD and infrastructure as code (e.G. Terraform)
* Strong understanding of API design (REST/GraphQL), databases and system architecture
* Experience delivering secure, scalable, high-performance applications
* Comfortable leading technical discussions with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
* Experience working in agile environments (Scrum/Kanban)
Why This Role?
* Remote-first role (Portugal-based) with strong flexibility
* Ownership of technical delivery and direction
* Opportunity to work on complex, meaningful digital products
* Collaborative, craft-focused engineering culture
If you're a hands-on Lead Engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and building impactful products, this is a great opportunity to step into a high-impact role.
