Lead Software Engineer (Node.js / React / AWS)

Location: Hybrid – Florida Based (Quarterly Onsite Required)

Compensation: $150,000 – $180,000 Base + Bonus + 100% Employer-Paid Benefits

We are a Florida-based, publicly traded SaaS company serving insurance and financial services teams nationwide. With continued product growth and investment in engineering, we are hiring a Lead Software Engineer to play a key role in designing, building, and scaling our core platforms.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role. We are looking for someone who can architect and build complex backend systems while also setting standards, mentoring developers, and driving execution across projects. This is not a pure management position — you will be deeply involved in system design and production-level code.

The role is backend-leaning (roughly 70% backend / 30% frontend), working primarily with Node.js, React, MongoDB, Docker, REST APIs, and AWS-based cloud infrastructure.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Architecting and building scalable backend services using Node.js
• Designing and maintaining high-quality RESTful APIs
• Leading technical direction across key initiatives
• Writing clean, production-ready code in a cloud- environment
• Improving performance, reliability, and scalability of core systems
• Reviewing code, mentoring engineers, and raising the technical bar
• Working directly with business stakeholders to translate requirements into clear technical solutions
• Managing technical priorities, risks, and delivery timelines

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of full stack development experience, with strong backend depth
• Proven hands-on experience with Node.js in production environments
• Strong experience with React on modern frontend applications
• Experience building and scaling RESTful APIs
• Experience working with MongoDB and/or relational databases
• Production experience with Docker and containerized deployments
• Strong cloud experience (AWS )
• Experience working in Agile environments
• Ability to mentor developers and lead technical discussions
• Strong debugging and system design capabilities
• Experience working with financial or transactional systems is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

• $150,000 – $180,000 base salary (depending on experience)
• Annual bonus / profit-sharing opportunity
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision, life, and insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Flexible PTO
• Consistent 40-hour work weeks with strong work-life balance

Location Requirement

This is a hybrid role for Florida-based candidates. Engineers are expected onsite one week per quarter for collaboration and planning.
