Lead Software Engineer - Unified Portal

Skills

About the Role

You'll join as a senior individual contributor to unify several separate products behind a single Partner Portal and one API. You'll map existing systems, design and enforce the API contracts that hold them together, and drive delivery while coordinating two teams you don't manage. You'll use AI coding agents as your main way of shipping and keep quality high through review and testing. Success in this role comes from systems thinking, high ownership in an ambiguous space, and clear communication rather than front-end depth. You'll work directly with product architects, coordinate across a Prague platform team and a US UI team, and keep the director's mental model current by surfacing risks early and owning outcomes. This role runs on US overlap hours, with a later start and evening hours to overlap with the US team, and you'll be on-site 3 days a week in Prague.

Requirements

• 10 to 15+ years building production software
• Expert-level TypeScript
• Strong, hands-on AI-assisted development experience
• Deep understanding of APIs and API specs, with a habit of enforcing contracts between services
• Real systems-thinking ability to unify separate systems into one
• High ownership and comfort with ambiguity
• Strong communication and program-management instincts
• Some front-end ability (TypeScript, a little React or Next.js)

Responsibilities

• Map the existing systems and work out how they fit behind a single portal
• Design and enforce the API contracts that let those systems talk through one interface
• Drive delivery of the partner portal: catalog, partner login, documentation, and license-key access
• Work directly with the product architects who own each product so their docs and artifacts land in the right place
• Find missing products when noticed
• Coordinate across the Prague platform team and the US UI team without managing either
• Use AI coding agents as the main way of shipping
• Keep quality high through review and testing
• Keep the director's mental model current
• Surface risks early and set expectations clearly
• Own outcomes in an ambiguous, fast-moving space
