Job Description
We're looking for a Lead Software Engineer who can guide and grow a small team of frontend engineers while remaining a hands-on, high-output individual contributor. This role is not about producing baseline code quickly. AI can do that. It's about engineering judgment, clear direction, technical quality, and team leverage.
You will partner closely with a Product Lead (and design, data, and backend partners) to shape scope, define milestones, and break work into well-scoped tasks that can be delivered predictably. You'll set expectations around quality, testing, and production readiness—especially in fast-moving, AI-assisted development environments.
Gen is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer, committed to diversity and inclusivity. We base employment decisions on merit, experience, and business needs, without considering race, color, national origin, age, religion, sex, pregnancy, genetic information, disability, medical condition, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military or veteran status, or other unlawful factors. Gen prohibits discrimination based on these protected characteristics and recruits talented candidates from diverse backgrounds.
We consider individuals with arrest and conviction records and do not discriminate against employees for discussing their own pay or that of other employees or applicants. Learn more about pay transparency.
To conform to U.S. export control regulations, applicant should be eligible for any required authorizations from the U.S. Government.
