Job Summary:

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Tech Lead/Architect to guide the technical delivery of a strategic internal application for one of the world’s top private equity firms. The project involves rapid design-build sprints to deliver modular dashboards and workflows that scale across asset classes.

You’ll lead a globally distributed engineering team, working closely with product managers, designers, and client stakeholders. This is a hybrid role based in New York, with partial on-site presence.

You’ll be responsible for both execution and technical oversight — helping shape a scalable frontend component architecture, and integrating with serverless backend services (AWS Lambda, Fargate).

Your Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and implementation of micro-apps using React, backed by Node.js/Python services
• Architect and own backend logic using serverless functions (Lambda) and containerized services (Fargate)
• Partner with Product and Design to translate business needs into scalable, high-quality software
• Establish and enforce code quality, testing, and deployment standards
• Guide a distributed engineering team, reviewing code and supporting onboarding of new devs
• Identify reusable frontend/backend components and help establish a design-build library
• Maintain high development velocity while ensuring robust infrastructure integration
• Act as the technical point of contact for client engineering teams

What We’re Looking For

• 12+ years of fullstack development experience (React, Node.js and/or Python)
• Experience leading technical delivery across distributed product teams
• Strong knowledge of AWS serverless architecture: Lambda, Fargate, API Gateway
• Familiar with containerized development, CI/CD pipelines, and platform-level routing
• Skilled in translating technical complexity into clear direction and action
• Comfortable working in a hybrid on-site/remote setting with executive stakeholders
• Strong communication and mentoring skills

Nice to Have:

• Background in enterprise, SaaS, or financial tools
• Experience setting up design systems or component libraries
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, SSO, JWT authentication, and platform authorization patterns
