About This Role We are seeking a Lead Software Engineer for the Newsela Writing product engineering team. This is an IC-heavy technical leadership role (~50-70% coding) with no direct reports. The Lead Software Engineer owns technical direction, code quality standards, and day-to-day engineering coordination for the writing-app (Next.js, node.js, and Python backends). Why You'll Love This Role Own architecture decisions for the writing-app and evaluate technical trade-offs that balance speed, quality, and maintainability. Define and evolve the team's technical standards (coding patterns, testing expectations, dependency management) and drive technical debt reduction alongside feature work. Lead triage and technical coordination during incidents. Drive root cause analysis and propose preventive measures. Be the first responder when production issues arise for the writing product. Actively drive technical discussions in grooming, planning, standups, and retros. Ensure technical decisions are documented where appropriate.
What You'll Be Doing Review significant PRs and provide substantive feedback, catch architectural issues before they merge, and ensure PRs are appropriately sized and scoped. Drive obstacle resolution during sprints - unblock engineers, make technical calls, elevate when needed. Identify and flag risks early. Translate between product requirements and technical implementation for the team. Communicate technical status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to the Engineering Manager and stakeholders. Leverage AI/LLM-powered workflows and code-generation tools (e.g., "Claude Code, Copilot") to stay efficient and productive, with code reviews to ensure quality and security. About You 5+ years building modern web applications in a SaaS environment, with significant full-stack experience. Strong proficiency in React/Next.js (frontend) and Python (backend). Comfortable with database design, API architecture, and frontend state management. E
