We are seeking a hands-on Tech Lead for a contract position to act as the technical authority for one or more strategic initiatives. This 6+ month role is based in Plano, Texas. The Tech Lead will define architecture, service contracts, and technical roadmaps while providing strong engineering leadership. The short-term emphasis is technical discovery, solution design, and laying the foundation for downstream delivery and team scaling.

Decompose ambiguous problem spaces into clear, actionable technical plans.
Define, document, and negotiate service and API contracts with partner teams.
Ensure solutions meet enterprise standards for security, resiliency, and maintainability.
Identify technical dependencies, risks, sequencing, and trade-offs across backend and cloud systems.
Promote a "Security First" mindset, emphasizing the constant need to consider security with every change.
Remain heavily hands-on in backend development (~60–70% focus) using TypeScript and Node.js while stepping in to support frontend work (~30–40%) using React and TypeScript when needed.
Architect and build services using TypeScript and Node.js, with potential to support applications written in Java.
Review code and enforce engineering best practices and quality standards across both frontend and backend repositories.
Support complex technical problem-solving across the stack.
Work closely with product, partner teams, and stakeholders to shape scope and priorities.
Help determine which initiative to start first based on technical readiness and risk.
Inform decisions on future team composition and required skillsets.
Work within a single cross-functional team supporting multiple initiatives and contribute to APIs that are primarily internal-facing, with some UI components potentially external-facing.
Influence when and how additional engineers are added as scope and priorities become clearer.
Required

Deep experience building APIs and services using TypeScript and Node.js.
Working experience with React for occasional UI enhancements and integration.
Hands-on experience with AWS cloud infrastructure services, including Lambda, ECS, and S3.
Practical experience with DynamoDB.
Solid understanding of common authentication and authorization patterns, including JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and OAuth.
Support-level proficiency with Java and/or Angular.
