About the role

As a Lead Software Engineer at OfficeSpace, you'll shape the future of our workplace platform by building scalable products, leading technical execution, and raising the engineering bar across the team.

This is a hands-on leadership role. We provide the platform. You drive the impact.

What you'll do

- Lead the architecture, design, and delivery of high-performance applications using Ruby on Rails, React, and modern cloud technologies.

- Build scalable, maintainable software that supports enterprise customers across a rapidly growing platform.

- Design AI-assisted engineering tools, workflows, and automation that improve developer productivity, code quality, and customer outcomes.

- Own projects end-to-end—from technical discovery through production deployment and long-term ownership.

- Shift quality left by embedding automated testing, code quality practices, and continuous validation early in the development lifecycle.

- Drive predictable delivery by managing scope, balancing technical debt, protecting sprint commitments, and reducing reactive work.

- Establish performance benchmarks and continuously optimize application speed, scalability, and reliability.

- Champion security, technical integrity, and sustainable architecture across the platform.

- Mentor engineers through thoughtful coaching, calibrated support, code reviews, and technical leadership while encouraging increasing ownership as teammates grow.

- Turn ambiguous product requirements into well-scoped, testable engineering work with measurable success criteria before implementation begins.

- Partner closely with Product, Design, Engineering Leadership, and R&D Architecture to deliver cohesive technical solutions aligned to long-term strategy.

- Lead recurring knowledge-sharing sessions, architecture discussions, retrospectives, and technical brown bags that elevate engineering excellence across the organization.

- 7+ years building modern full-stack applications.

- Strong experience with Ruby on Rails and React, or equivalent expertise with modern backend and frontend technologies.

- Experience designing scalable distributed systems serving enterprise customers.

- Deep understanding of API design using GraphQL, REST, or similar technologies.

- Experience with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform and modern data technologies including Kafka, BigQuery, Flink, Redis, Elasticsearch, or comparable tools.

- Proven ability to optimize application performance through benchmarking, observability, and scalability engineering.

- Experience designing, building, or customizing AI-enabled engineering workflows—not simply using AI assistants.

- Demonstrated success leading engineering teams through technical delivery, sprint execution, and architectural decision-making.

- Experience serving as a team lead, rotating lead, or backup lead—including facilitating stand-ups, retrospectives, planning sessions, and coaching teammates.

- Strong systems thinking with the ability to transform ambiguous business problems into clear technical solutions.

- Excellent communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills.
