Job Description
Unicity is a global health and wellness company, operating in over 50 countries. We deliver world-class health products and a leading business platform that together Make Life Better for people worldwide.
We're looking for a leader who will own technical direction, set the standard for how the team builds software, and help shape a codebase that's designed for how engineering works now — not how it worked three years ago.
Non-Technical Expectations:
- Freely admits when they don't know something, yet continues to express their opinions.
- Loves jumping on calls to walk through pull requests or complex features.
- Questions whether the juice is worth the squeeze.
- Reads and/or references documentation instead of trusting AI (and yes, actually reads it).
- Takes emergency late-night calls. Builds systems that minimize them.
- Doesn’t underestimate the power of body language: Comfortable with camera-on collaboration.
- Willing to work in-office on a weekly or monthly cadence, depending on location.
- All other obvious expectations: Agile ceremonies, high-quality output, mentoring, best practices, observability, scalability, security, etc.
Technical Experience:
- Uses and improves AI tooling and workflows as a core part of how they write, review, and ship code — not as a novelty.
- Has the taste to distinguish between AI-generated code that's good enough to ship and code that just looks right. Holds the team to the same standard.
- Anticipates future changes and builds patterns that make those changes easy.
- TypeScript across the full stack.
- Truly understands backend and frontend concerns and how they interact — not just framework-level knowledge.
- API design: REST, schema/contract design, versioning, idempotency, websockets.
- Third-party integrations via APIs, webhooks, and event-driven patterns.
- Database schema design, ORM usage, and migrations.
- Observability: logs, metrics, and analytics pipelines.
- CI/CD: containerization, infrastructure as code, automated migrations.
What We Offer:
- Hybrid, flexible work environment.
- Paid maternity and paternity leave.
- Generous vacation allowance plus company-paid holidays.
- Phone and internet reimbursement.
- 401(k) with company match.
- Travel opportunities.
- Substantial company product allowance.
- Competitive benefits package.
