This is an individual contributor technical leadership role reporting to the Director of Software Engineering. You will drive the technical direction of your project area, write high-quality code across the stack, and act as the primary technical partner to product management, while mentoring engineers around you.\r\nWe'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. You'll likely anchor on a given project for a sustained stretch — enough to build real depth and avoid constant context-switching — with real opportunities to rotate onto new projects and parts of the codebase over time.\r\nAI-assisted development is core to how we build software, not a peripheral tool.
