Lead / Senior Full Stack Engineer

🚨 NEW ROLE — Lead / Senior Full-Stack Engineer | Chicago, IL

I’m working on a unique opportunity for a Lead / Senior Engineer to become the founding technical member of a newly formed People Technology team .

📍 Chicago, Illinois — 3 days onsite per week

💰 $140K–$180K base + annual bonus + comprehensive benefits

This is not a traditional management role.

You’ll be the initial technical owner of a suite of HR-focused applications, working directly with HR leadership and stakeholders while remaining hands-on with the code .

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Own the technical direction and roadmap across multiple applications

• Assess existing platforms for modernization, technical debt and scalability

• Partner directly with Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, Talent Management and HR Leadership

• Build and ship production applications across a modern full-stack environment

• Help establish engineering processes, support models and technical standards

• Help define and hire the next engineer on the team

Core tech stack:

Python

TypeScript / React

PostgreSQL

FastAPI / Flask

Next.js

Ruby

I’m looking for someone who has a strong full-stack engineering background and is comfortable operating with a high level of autonomy and ownership .

Previous technical/team leadership experience is highly valuable, as is experience working with HR systems, HRIS/ATS platforms or enterprise integrations.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build something from the ground up while still staying close to the technology.

Interested?
