ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Full Stack Technical Lead to resolve production issues on a live, high-traffic hiring product.

This role blends hands-on engineering with real client impact, keeping complex systems reliable under pressure.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Analyze and resolve production issues, with particular emphasis on ongoing, in-progress hiring events.
Partner closely with client-facing teams to triage and address incoming support tickets.
Drive timely issue resolution to meet established SLAs.
Monitor production systems and respond quickly to alerts or performance degradation ("going red").
Support architecture changes and system integrations that may impact hiring events.
Maintain and update event logic in response to changes in dependencies and upstream systems.
MUST HAVES
7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Java/Spring Boot as the primary backend stack (Event Management Backend, Lobby Backend) — first priority.

High level of ownership and autonomy, including taking initiative and owning tasks—specifically merging and deploying code—without requiring hand-holding.
Ability to work independently and autonomously.
