About the role

  • This is an individual contributor technical leadership role reporting to the Director of Software Engineering.
  • We've moved away from a frontend/backend split at Mill: every engineer here works full stack, typically leaning toward one side based on strength and interest, and teams are organized around projects rather than layers of the stack.
  • We expect fluency with tools like Claude Code as part of your daily workflow, and as a senior level engineer, a role in raising the bar for how the team uses them.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the technical design and execution of full-stack web applications, ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical standards
  • Architect and implement scalable, secure, and efficient full-stack solutions
  • Own estimates and technical delivery plans for your project area, and surface risks early
  • Develop and optimize APIs, databases, and user interfaces
  • Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to maintain high coding standards
  • Act as the primary technical partner to product managers on your project - informing scope, sequencing, and tradeoffs - even though roadmap ownership sits with the PM
  • This role does not manage people today, but we're looking for someone open to taking on direct reports as the team scales
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills - especially the ability to partner closely with product without owning the roadmap
  • Passion for mentoring and developing engineering talent

Requirements

  • 6+ years of professional experience in software development with a focus on full-stack development
  • Experience with cloud platforms (we run AWS) and modern deployment workflows

Nice to have

  • Experience with our specific stack: SvelteKit (web, deployed on Vercel), React Native (mobile), AWS Lambda with CDK (TypeScript) and Middy
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices and infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform, CDK)
  • Strong understanding of security best practices in web development
  • Prior experience in a people-management role, or clear interest and readiness to grow into one over time.
  • Comfortable holding technical ownership of a project over a sustained period, while staying energized by the opportunity to rotate onto new problems periodically
  • Proactive, self-driven, and eager to take ownership of projects
  • Evaluate and select technologies, frameworks, and tools - including AI-assisted development tooling - to improve team productivity and code quality
  • Craft elegant, documented, and sustainable code spanning our full web stack, remaining ready to provide support for our native mobile environment when required

Skills

  • Mill is a waste prevention technology company reimagining what it means to eliminate waste, starting with food.

Compensation

  • The estimated base salary range for this position is $185k to $225k, which does not include the value of benefits or a potential equity grant.

Benefits

  • Mentor engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement
