Lead Software Engineer (AI-augmented)

Gen DigitalNew York, NY

About The Position

We're looking for a Lead Software Engineer who can guide and grow a small team of frontend engineers while remaining a hands-on, high-output individual contributor. This role is not about producing baseline code quickly. AI can do that. It's about engineering judgment, clear direction, technical quality, and team leverage. You will partner closely with a Product Lead (and design, data, and backend partners) to shape scope, define milestones, and break work into well-scoped tasks that can be delivered predictably. You'll set expectations around quality, testing, and production readiness—especially in fast-moving, AI-assisted development environments.

Requirements

  • Hands-on, high-output individual contributor.
  • Strong engineering judgment.
  • Ability to provide clear direction.
  • Focus on technical quality.
  • Ability to leverage a team.
  • Experience partnering with Product Leads, design, data, and backend teams.
  • Skill in shaping scope and defining milestones.
  • Proficiency in breaking work into well-scoped, predictably deliverable tasks.
  • Experience setting expectations for quality, testing, and production readiness.
  • Experience in fast-moving, AI-assisted development environments.
