Technical Lead - Fullstack

Technical Lead

Jump is transforming the live sports experience with the only end-to-end fan engagement platform built specifically for sports teams and venues. By focusing on aligned incentives between teams and fans, our platform unifies ticketing, merchandise, and game day operations - creating a smoother, more fan-friendly experience.

We're looking for a Technical Lead to help define and scale the technical direction of our consumer-facing platform while raising the bar for engineering quality, execution speed, and AI-native development practices.

As the Technical Lead, you'll be the primary technical leader for the consumer pod - working cross functionally to shape architecture, make high-leverage technical decisions, and ensure we consistently ship high-quality consumer experiences. You'll operate across a modern Type Script stack, making pragmatic tradeoffs between speed, scalability, maintainability, and user experience as the product and organization evolve.

You'll be expected to stay deeply hands-on, set a high bar for engineering excellence, and actively shape how the team builds software - including how we use AI to fundamentally increase engineering velocity and quality.

• Own and evolve the technical direction of the consumer platform, setting long-term architectural vision while making pragmatic, day-to-day technical decisions
• Make high-leverage architectural decisions across a modern Type Script ecosystem, balancing speed, scalability, product quality, and long-term maintainability
• Serve as the technical "north star" for the pod through design reviews, code reviews, and deep technical guidance
• Stay deeply hands-on in the codebase, contributing to complex features, debugging production issues, and driving system design work end-to-end
• Partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to shape roadmaps, challenge assumptions, and translate ambiguous problems into clear technical direction
• Raise the bar for engineering quality across performance, reliability, testing strategy, observability, and developer experience
• Actively mentor engineers by modeling strong engineering judgment
• Define and operationalize AI-assisted engineering workflows that meaningfully increase team velocity (not just individual productivity), using tools like Cursor, Codex, Claude, and others
• Participate in hiring and interviewing, helping to maintain a high technical bar of the organization
• Collaborate across engineering teams to influence shared systems, infrastructure, and cross-cutting platform decisions

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with deep expertise in modern full-stack web development
• Proven track record of owning or significantly influencing architecture for consumer-facing web products at scale
• Strong mastery of Type Script, React, Node.js, and Next.js, with a bias toward building maintainable systems over short-term hacks
• Experience building and scaling modern full-stack applications using GraphQL, Apollo, and AWS, with strong expertise in both relational and No
  
  SQL databases including Postgres and DynamoDB.
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a technical leader
• Exceptional engineering judgment — able to make clear decisions in ambiguous spaces with incomplete information
• Strong, hands-on coding ability with a willingness to stay close to the implementation
• Experience scaling systems with real constraints around performance, reliability, and product velocity tradeoffs
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence across engineering, product, and design
• Deep, practical fluency with AI-assisted development — not experimentation, but real workflow integration that improves how teams ship software
• A bias toward systems thinking, simplicity, and long-term maintainability over local optimization

• Experience working on high-traffic consumer products at scale
• Prior experience mentoring Staff or Senior Staff engineers
• Familiarity with modern observability, CI/CD, and developer productivity tooling

• A strong desire to learn. You continually look for ways to build your skills.
• Tenacity. You enjoy…
