Associate Technical Lead – Full-Stack

About the role

Villvay, a boutique agency helping B2B eCommerce companies transform digitally, is looking for an Associate Technical Lead – Full-Stack. The role combines hands-on full-stack engineering, growing technical leadership and client collaboration, on a US-based healthcare platform covering patient booking, practice management, reporting and staff operations. It is a step-up-to-lead position, not purely an individual contributor.

Key responsibilities

• Design, build and ship features end-to-end across a React/TypeScript frontend, serverless APIs, Node.js and PostgreSQL.
• Own the technical delivery of your workstream, from requirements breakdown and architecture choices to production reliability.
• Mentor, lead and review other developers, and help plan and allocate tasks.
• Build and maintain integrations with third-party platforms (practice management, CRM, payments, messaging and email), including webhooks, queues, scheduled jobs and retry logic.
• Apply privacy-first practices aligned with HIPAA, such as least-privilege access, encryption, audit trails and careful logging of sensitive data.
• Work with QA and product to deliver well-tested releases, monitor production, investigate incidents and lead fixes with root-cause write-ups.
• Act as technical point of contact for client stakeholders, explain trade-offs, flag risks early and report progress.
• Help estimate and scope new work with the lead developer, document flows and architecture, and stay up to date with evolving tooling.

Required profile

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional full-stack development experience.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring, reviewing or leading other engineers.
• Ideally, direct experience with clients or business stakeholders and comfort working in a self-managed way.
• Excellent written and verbal English, able to explain technical trade-offs to engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Required skills

• React and modern front-end tooling (Vite or similar)
• TypeScript and Node.js
• REST APIs on serverless or edge platforms (Cloudflare Workers or similar)
• Cloud hosting and CI/CD with GitHub Actions or similar
• SQL and PostgreSQL, including schema design and migrations
• Integrating third-party APIs, webhooks, queues and scheduled jobs
• Git and code review

What we offer

• Hybrid work model
• Paid parental leave and paid menstrual leave
• OPD and insurance coverage, even during probation
• Flat structure and a global team with international clients
