Full-stack Engineer

• We’re looking for a senior full-stack engineer to serve as the hands-on technical lead for Discovery, the pod that helps motivated learners and small teams discover, try, and buy Speak
• You’ll set technical direction across the web acquisition and purchase journey, including public discovery, authentication, checkout, billing, provisioning, and measurement
• You’ll work primarily in TypeScript across Next.js/React, Node.js, and Postgres, partnering with engineers in adjacent pods where the experience crosses team boundaries
• You’ll turn business goals and product requirements into clear technical designs, lead execution across multiple engineers and agent-driven contributions, and raise the bar for architecture, reliability, analytics, and rollout
• Near-term work includes self-serve Speak for Business onboarding, web payments experimentation, enterprise-ready web journeys, and foundations that let Marketing publish and measure experiments without depending on engineers for every change
• Serving as the hands-on technical lead for Discovery, from problem framing and architecture through implementation, launch, and production monitoring
• Designing and building full-stack web journeys that help individuals and small teams find, evaluate, purchase, and start using Speak
• Leading cross-repository integrations across authentication, payments, entitlements, analytics, attribution, CRM, and admin experiences
• Partnering closely with product, design, analytics, Marketing, Sales, and adjacent engineering pods to define scope, sequence dependencies, and deliver end-to-end outcomes
• Setting an enterprise-ready quality bar for privacy and security, payment correctness, observability, performance, and resilient rollouts
• Evolving architecture and development patterns incrementally while protecting conversion and revenue across high-traffic global funnels
• Helping the pod operate AI-natively by reviewing plans and designs before implementation, creating strong QA and verification loops, and enabling AI-assisted contributors to ship safely
• Mentoring engineers and raising the team’s bar for technical judgment, communication, and ownership
