  • Employment Type: Full-Time W2


Are you a seasoned full-stack architect who loves writing production-grade code, mentoring engineers, and setting technical standards-without getting bogged down by traditional people management? In this role, you will raise the quality bar across all delivery teams through hands-on code contribution, architectural governance, developer enablement, and reusable technical accelerators. Above all, the ideal candidate embodies RevStar's core values:
  • Self-Mastery: We hold a high bar for how we think, communicate, and improve.
  • Ownership: We own outcomes, not just effort.
  • Shared Destiny: We rise or fall together.


Your Impact Pillars

1. Architectural Governance & Hands-On Engineering - Lead by example by writing high-quality production code, conducting code reviews, and solving complex architectural challenges across client engagements. Establish, document, and enforce modern engineering standards for ReactJS, NodeJS, and AWS cloud-native systems. Participate in the Product Development Standards Committee to define CI/CD, testing, security, and observability best practices while conducting periodic project audits to maintain compliance.

2. Engineering Accelerators & AI Adoption - Build and maintain production-ready internal assets, including boilerplate repositories, reference architectures, and shared UI/backend components. Drive AI adoption across delivery teams using approved tool registries to accelerate development velocity and improve project profitability. Identify recurring technical friction points across client projects and engineer systemic, reusable solutions.

3. Developer Enablement & Cross-Functional Innovation - Design and execute developer training curricula covering modern ReactJS/NodeJS patterns, event-driven microservices, and AWS best practices. Lead company-wide Leadership Labs focused on technical decision-making, code maintainability, and trade-off analysis. Partner closely with Product Managers, DevOps, and QA leads to ensure technical solutions match product intent, business outcomes, and emerging cloud technologies.

Requirements
What You Bring
  • Experience: 7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with a track record of driving technical standards across multiple delivery teams.

  • Leadership & Influence: Proven ability to influence without authority, mentor senior engineers, and communicate complex technical trade-offs to stakeholders.
  • Background: Bachelor's or Master's in CS/Engineering (or equivalent experience); active AWS Certifications (Solutions Architect or Developer) are strongly preferred.
