Lead Software Engineer

About Headrace Technology Group:

Our bench is in the back of a strip-mall storefront, where we image laptops and swap failed drives. Started by a former school district network admin in 2019, the business has grown almost entirely through referrals.

The role:

The previous person in this role moved to another team. Headrace Technology Group is hiring for the Lead Software Engineer role on our operations team.

• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.

Requirements:

• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
