[Hiring] Team Lead (ReactJS / Node.js) @Playbook

2d ago - Playbook is hiring a remote Team Lead (ReactJS / Node.js). πŸ’Έ Salary: unspecified πŸ“Location: Worldwide

Role Description

We're looking for a Team Lead (ReactJS / Node.js) to lead a small, high-performing team of engineers while staying hands-on as a part-time individual contributor. This is not a purely managerial role β€” you'll still write code, contribute to architecture, and lead by technical example. Your primary leverage shifts: you're accountable not just for what you ship, but for the delivery, health, and growth of your team.

  • Partner closely with Product and Design.
  • Own the team's execution cadence.
  • Create an environment where engineers do their best work.
  • Align the team with product goals.
  • Unblock critical features or review key architectural decisions.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong focus on full-stack JavaScript / TypeScript.
  • Proven track record in shipping production web applications end-to-end.
  • 1+ year of direct team leadership experience β€” managing or formally leading a small engineering team (2+ people).
  • Strong experience with React.js and modern frontend patterns.
  • Strong experience with Node.js, including designing GraphQL schemas.
  • Advanced TypeScript proficiency.
  • Demonstrated ability to facilitate team decisions.
  • Strong experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred).
  • Active daily use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or similar).
  • Strong communication skills in English.
  • Comfortable working in a remote, cross-timezone team.

Requirements

  • Experience with Node.js frameworks: Next.js, NestJS (nice to have).
  • Familiarity with MVVM or similar architectural patterns (nice to have).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and improving observability and logging (nice to have).
  • Familiarity with AWS services like Lambda, Step Functions, SNS/SQS, DynamoDB, and ECS (nice to have).
  • Experience building or integrating payment and subscription flows (e.g. Stripe, billing systems, in-app purchases) (nice to have).
  • Experience working in a startup or fast-growing product company (nice to have).

Benefits

  • Your work will directly affect creators and users on the platform.
  • Wide compensation range to reflect different seniority profiles within this role.
  • Equity options.
  • 100% remote with flexible working hours and async-friendly culture.
  • A collaborative team that values ownership, open communication, and autonomy over micromanagement.
  • Yearly team retreats focused on connection, alignment, and building strong team relationships.
  • Paid Time Off.
