About The Position

The team you will lead is building a brand-new, AI-first, and cloud-native platform from scratch. Opportunities for greenfield development on a platform this consequential don't come around often. The backend is enterprise-grade .NET on Azure — Postgres, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, Azure Functions, App Services — built for high-volume transaction processing and resilience. APIs are GraphQL, federated into a single graph and a service-oriented architecture. The frontend is React, TypeScript, and micro-frontends running in a monorepo. Everything ships through a multi-stage CI/CD pipeline across development, staging, and UAT environments. You'll lead and write code with 6 engineers and have real ownership of technical direction and roadmap prioritization — including navigating the realities of running modern and classic systems side by side.
