Unicity USA•Provo, UT

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Unicity is a global health and wellness company, operating in over 50 countries. We deliver world-class health products and a leading business platform that together Make Life Better for people worldwide. We're looking for a leader who will own technical direction, set the standard for how the team builds software, and help shape a codebase that's designed for how engineering works now not how it worked three years ago. Non-Technical Expectations: Freely admits when they don't know something, yet continues to express their opinions. Loves jumping on calls to walk through pull requests or complex features. Questions whether the juice is worth the squeeze . Reads and/or references documentation instead of trusting AI (and yes, actually reads it). Takes emergency late-night calls. Builds systems that minimize them. Doesnt underestimate the power of body language: Comfortable with camera-on collaboration . Willing to work in-office on a weekly or monthly cadence, depending on location. All other obvious expectations: Agile ceremonies, high-quality output, mentoring, best practices, observability, scalability, security, etc. Technical Experience: Uses and improves AI tooling and workflows as a core part of how they write, review, and ship code not as a novelty. Has the taste to distinguish between AI-generated code that's good enough to ship and code that just looks right. Holds the team to the same standard. Anticipates future changes and builds patterns that make those changes easy. TypeScript across the full stack. Truly understands backend and frontend concerns and how they interact not just framework-level knowledge. API design : REST, schema/contract design, versioning, idempotency, websockets. Third-party integrations via APIs, webhooks, and event-driven patterns. Database schema design, ORM usage, and migrations. Observability : logs, metrics, and analytics pipelines. CI/CD: containerization, infrastructure as code, automated migrations.
