About This Role:We're looking for a Technical Lead / Full Stack Engineer to join Novir-someone who can own our technology end-to-end. This is not a pure management role, it is a take the bull by the horns, hands-on builder. You'll be the architect, the builder, and the force multiplier-designing scalable systems while staying close to the code and shipping quickly using modern development tools, including AI/agentic workflows.
You'll partner directly with leadership to translate business needs into technical solutions, define our architecture, and accelerate development velocity without sacrificing quality.
What You'll Do:- Own the technical vision and architecture across all Novir platforms, including core applications, integrations, and infrastructure
- Act as a player-coach: write production code while guiding and leveling up other engineers and contributors
- Leverage AI/agentic development tools to dramatically improve speed, efficiency, and code quality
- Design and build scalable, secure APIs and systems that integrate with internal tools and third-party platforms
- Partner closely with product, operations, and leadership to prioritize and execute against the roadmap
- Translate ambiguous business needs into clean, pragmatic technical solutions
- Lead development of internal tools including tracking systems, inventory systems, and operational platforms
- Establish best practices across code quality, deployment, CI/CD, and system reliability
- Evaluate and implement new technologies that create leverage and long-term advantages
Technical Stack & Capabilities:- Strong proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript across the stack
- Experience with Node.js and modern frontend frameworks (React preferred)
- Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS - EC2, RDS, etc.)
- Experience with Docker, distributed systems, and backend services (Redis, nginx, etc.)
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, CircleCI, CodeDeploy)
- Strong experience designing and building APIs and system integrations
- Comfort working across the full stack: frontend, backend, and infrastructure
What We're Really Looking For:- A builder's mindset-someone who ships, iterates, and takes ownership
- Ability to operate as both architect and hands-on engineer
- Experience with patient tracking systems, EMRs/EHRs, lab integrations (HL7, FHIR, SFTP, API), and inventory logistics
- Experience using (or strong interest in using) AI-assisted / agentic coding tools to accelerate development
- Strong product intuition and ability to work directly with stakeholders and customers
- Comfort operating in an ambiguous, fast-moving startup environment
- Track record of building and scaling systems from the ground up
Experience:- 6+ years of engineering experience, with increasing ownership over systems and architecture
- Prior experience in a lead, staff, or founding engineer role strongly preferred
- Experience working closely with business stakeholders to define and deliver custom solutions
Who You Are:- You're an Innovator - You enjoy working with new technologies ranging from the frontend to backend, and are particularly passionate and an expert in multiple stacks
- You're A Problem Solver - You have strong experience with various technologies, and know how to pick the right tool for any job
- You're a Team Player - You love to collaborate closely with the team to brainstorm ideas, gather requirements, and review and improve code
- You're Curious - You are naturally curious and have an interest in learning new things.
Perks of Working @ Novir:- Competitive total compensation offerings
- Generous paid time off policy
- Medical, dental and vision insurance, some of which is covered by the company
- Company provided Disability and Life Insurance
- A friendly office atmosphere in our office space in the heart of Milwaukee's Third Ward
