Full Stack Tech Lead

Description Nimble's Platform team owns the infrastructure and product surface that the entire R&D org builds on - and that customers interact with every day. We're looking for a Full Stack Tech Lead with exceptional frontend depth, strong backend platform experience, and hands-on AI product skills. On the FE side, you'll own Nimble's frontend platform end-to-end - setting the architecture, standards, tooling, and guardrails that allow every R&D engineer to contribute UI code to production without compromising quality. On the BE side, you'll be a core contributor to the platform infrastructure that powers Nimble at scale - API Gateway, SDK, microservices, and platform-layer features. Two halves, one owner. Responsibilities Own Nimble's frontend architecture and platform - from design system and component library to CI/CD, testing automation, and contribution standards. Build the tooling, guardrails, and workflows that enable every R&D engineer to ship FE code confidently and safely - regardless of their frontend depth. Set and enforce frontend standards across the organization - code quality, performance, accessibility, and consistency. Drive cross-R&D infrastructure: API Gateway, SDK design, versioning, and microservices standardization. Own platform-layer features: Billing, RBAC, Authentication & Authorization, usage systems, and monitoring. Contribute to AI-native platform capabilities including agentic features and MCP integrations. Requirements 8+ years of frontend experience - deep, production-grade, customer-facing. You are the person others come to when FE gets hard. 8+ years of backend experience, with meaningful time on infrastructure, microservices, and internal platform development - gained at large-scale web companies or fast-growing, successful startups. Proven experience building frontend platforms or enabling systems - not just shipping features, but building the foundation others build on top of. Deep command of the modern web stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Vercel, Cloudflare, and the patterns around state, data fetching, testing, and automation. Hands-on experience with FE automation: testing frameworks, CI pipelines, linting, and quality enforcement at scale. Experience with AI product development - you've shipped AI-integrated features in production. Strong product sense - you can tell when something is over- or under-built, and you push back on both. Who You Are Frontend-first, but full-stack capable - you lead with FE depth and back it up with solid backend instincts. A multiplier - you think about how to make every engineer around you a better frontend contributor. High ownership mentality - you identify what needs to be done and drive it without being asked. A collaborator who raises the bar - mentors naturally, communicates clearly, and makes the teams they touch better.
