About the role
- Lambda is looking for a Lead or Staff Full-Stack Software Engineer to help define and build the next generation of the Cloud Console experience.
- You will own complex, customer-facing initiatives across the frontend, API, and service layers while helping the team establish scalable architecture and strong engineering practices.
- This is a high-impact individual-contributor role combining product judgment with technical depth to turn complex infrastructure capabilities into clear, reliable, and cohesive workflows.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate end-to-end product experiences across our React and TypeScript frontend, APIs, and supporting backend services
- Own major console initiatives from early discovery and technical design through implementation, rollout, measurement, and iteration
- Translate complex cloud concepts—including compute lifecycle, networking, identity, governance, support, usage, and billing—into intuitive customer workflows
- Partner closely with Product and Design to clarify requirements, explore tradeoffs, and shape solutions that balance customer value with technical sustainability
- Collaborate with our API Experience, Billing, Platform and Support teams to deliver cohesive features spanning multiple systems
- Establish architectural patterns that improve frontend performance, reliability, accessibility, observability, and developer velocity
- Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful design reviews, code reviews, documentation, testing, and operational ownership
- Identify recurring friction in the product and codebase, then lead durable improvements rather than isolated fixes
- Mentor engineers and help teammates develop stronger product, architecture, and execution skills
- Contribute to roadmap planning and technical strategy for the Console Experience team
Requirements
- Have extensive experience building and operating production web applications across the frontend and backend
- Have led the design and delivery of substantial customer-facing systems in a fast-moving environment
- Are highly proficient with modern frontend development, including React and TypeScript
- Can design and reason about APIs, service boundaries, data models, asynchronous workflows, and distributed-system failure modes
- Have strong product judgment and care deeply about usability, especially when presenting complex technical systems
- Can bring structure and momentum to ambiguous problems without waiting for every requirement to be defined
- Communicate technical decisions clearly through design documents, diagrams, reviews, and direct collaboration
- Build alignment across teams without relying on organizational authority
- Balance short-term delivery with reliability, maintainability, and long-term architectural health
- Take ownership of production outcomes, including testing, observability, incident response, and continuous improvement
Preferred qualifications
- Experience building a cloud console, infrastructure product, or enterprise SaaS application
- Familiarity with GPU infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, identity and access management, or cloud control planes
- Experience evolving a frontend architecture or design system across multiple teams
Benefits
- Generous cash & equity compensation
- Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
