. Associate Technical Lead – Full-Stack
About the role
Villvay is seeking an Associate Technical Lead – Full-Stack to join their boutique agency, which specializes in digital transformation for B2B eCommerce clients. The role involves hands-on full-stack engineering, technical leadership, and client collaboration, specifically working on a US-based healthcare platform integrating patient booking, practice management, and reporting systems. Key responsibilities include designing and shipping features across a modern stack (React/TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL), mentoring developers, leading technical delivery, integrating third-party platforms, ensuring privacy and reliability, and acting as a technical point of contact for clients. Candidates should have a degree in a relevant field, 5+ years of full-stack experience, strong technical skills in the listed technologies, and demonstrated leadership or mentoring experience. The company offers a hybrid work model, competitive salaries, and various benefits.
Must have
- Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of professional full-stack development experience.
- Demonstrated experience mentoring, reviewing, or leading the work of other engineers. This is a step-up-to-lead role, not purely an individual contributor position.
- Strong hands-on experience with React and modern front-end tooling (Vite or similar).
- Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript and Node.js.
- Solid back-end experience building REST APIs on serverless or edge platforms (Cloudflare Workers or similar).
- Experience with cloud hosting and deployments, including CI/CD using GitHub Actions or similar.
- Strong SQL and PostgreSQL skills, including schema design and migrations.
- Practical experience integrating third-party APIs, including webhooks, queues, and scheduled jobs.
- Comfortable with Git and code review, and with shipping to production regularly
- Ideally, experience working directly with clients or business stakeholders, and comfortable working in a self-managed way.
- Forward thinking and flexibility: you anticipate change before it arrives, adapt readily to shifting priorities, tools, and client needs, and treat change as an opportunity rather than a blocker.
- Farsighted, lateral problem solving: you look beyond the immediate task, approach problems from unconventional angles, and design solutions that hold up as the product and the client’s needs grow.
- Trust and quick adoptability: you are dependable and transparent, flag risks early, and pick up new technologies, domains, and ways of working fast, including AI-assisted development, so clients and teammates can rely on you.
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with the Cloudflare ecosystem (Pages, R2, D1, Queues) and Neon.
- Experience integrating HubSpot, Stripe, Twilio, Klaviyo and other CRM.
