Lead Software Engineer

Join LogRocket, a rapidly growing startup backed by top investors. As a Lead Software Engineer, you will own the architecture and roadmap for a core product area, drive the adoption of AI/ML, and set the technical direction for scaling our infrastructure. You will also mentor engineers and model strong full-stack craftsmanship. Enjoy benefits such as stock options, health coverage, unlimited PTO, parental leave, and more.

Own the architecture and roadmap for a core product area end-to-end, partnering with design and product to ship experiences customers love.

Set technical direction for scaling infrastructure cost-effectively while maintaining reliability under heavy load, and mentor engineers to raise the bar for the team.

If you don’t meet all of these, we still encourage you to apply. We believe code is code, and learning new tools is part of joining a new team

Responsibilities

• Lead the design of systems that surface insight from data at massive scale, driving adoption of AI/ML in the product.
• A strong hands-on collaborator with a bias to action. You lead from the front and help the team deliver on their estimates

Requirements

• 8+ years as a full-stack engineer, with a track record of owning both production frontend (React or similar) and backend systems. You’re as fluent in the UI layer as in APIs and data
• A track record of mentoring engineers and elevating team-wide technical practices
• Deep experience with distributed systems and modern cloud architecture, and the judgment to choose the right tool for the job across the stack
• Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and excited about building AI-powered capabilities into the product
• Experience leading technical direction for a team or product area, not just executing tickets
