Role Overview

A Lead Software Engineer at this company is a technical and cultural leader with deep expertise across multiple systems. You will make strategic decisions about major components, serve as a subject matter expert, and drive the quality, performance, and scalability of our products. You are trusted to operate autonomously, define professional standards, and are regularly sought for your judgment and advice.

You will own and run critical subsystems, introduce significant improvements, and extend our tools and infrastructure. You will mentor and coach teammates, providing regular, constructive feedback and helping define performance standards. You will manage and grow a team, guiding them technically and culturally, and foster an environment where everyone can become a leader.

As a Lead, you take ownership of problems and their resolutions, contribute meaningfully to solutions, and communicate with maturity and clarity, especially under pressure. You plan and drive project cycles, challenge your team to excel, and ensure that processes, documentation, and best practices are maintained. Above all, you embody the belief that strong leadership means sharing credit, taking responsibility, and helping others achieve more than they thought possible.

Key Responsibilities
• Lead the design, implementation, and scaling of critical subsystems related to cold plasma sensing devices and data visualization platforms
• Make strategic architectural decisions and introduce significant quality, performance, or scalability improvements
• Mentor and coach team members, fostering their technical and professional growth
• Provide actionable, high-quality code reviews and ensure consistency across the codebase
• Plan and drive project cycles, set priorities, and deliver on team and company goals
• Extend and improve internal tools and processes; identify and oversee tooling enhancements
• Communicate progress, challenges, and key decisions to leadership and stakeholders
• Hire, onboard, and develop engineering talent; define and uphold performance standards
• Promote a collaborative, inclusive, and mission-driven culture, where people work with and for each other

Qualifications
• Advanced proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript Node web stacks
• Deep experience with Linux environments; experience with Balena Fleet Management, Tailscale, Netdata, and Sentry is a plus
• Strong experience with data stores such as Redis and Postgres
• Demonstrated success leading teams and delivering complex projects independently
• Experience building or integrating with data visualization systems
• Proven track record of test-driven development in a production environment
• Familiarity with the hardware/software interface, especially in the context of sensing devices
• Excellent communication skills; ability to provide clear, actionable feedback and project updates
• Experience with modern DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines

Nice to Have
• Hands-on experience working with cold plasma sensing devices or similar instrumentation
• Expertise in fleet management tools (such as Balena) and secure networking (Tailscale)
• Experience with observability platforms (Netdata, Posthog, Sentry)
• Prior experience hiring and growing engineering teams
• Contributions to open-source projects or internal tools
• Experience developing style guides, technical documentation, or internal screencasts
• Background in scientific computing, signal processing, or IoT device integration
