📋 Description

• Own the technical direction for Fool.com and Motley Fool Money, keeping product velocity and long-term code health in honest balance • Stay hands-on: writing code, reviewing PRs, and pairing with your team daily • Mentor and grow your direct reports through 1:1s, technical coaching, and real career development conversations • Own production reliability for both platforms: incident response, observability, and continuous improvement of monitoring and alerting • Partner with product, design, marketing, and business unit leadership to translate business goals into technical strategy • Drive AI integration thoughtfully, both in production features and in how the team builds software • Maintain and evolve the engineering standards, deployment processes, and tooling that keep the team shipping confidently • Collaborate across business units to align technical decisions with broader company direction

🎯 Requirements

• You've got 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a tech lead or senior+ capacity • You're fluent in Python and have real production experience in Django. Wagtail experience is a plus. • You can navigate and contribute to a Next.js codebase; you don't need to be a JS specialist, but front-end shouldn't be a black box to you • You have a deep, practical understanding of the HTTP request/response cycle, REST API design, and how web applications work end-to-end • You've worked with AWS services and modern observability tooling (Datadog, Sentry, or equivalents) in production • You have a track record of mentoring and growing engineers—not just technically, but as people • You've integrated AI/LLM capabilities into production applications, or you're someone who's clearly been building toward it • Bonus points: experience leading high-traffic consumer web platforms, familiarity with content-driven sites and editorial workflows, and comfort with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and modern testing approaches (Playwright or similar)

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible, remote work environment (see our open states above) • No "vacation policy" (not to be confused with a "No vacation" policy) • Generous fully-paid parental leave • $1,000 annually to invest in stocks of your choice • Super low premiums for medical, dental, and vision coverage • Comprehensive compensation package, including company equity
