Senior Backend/Frontend Tech Lead

Dmitry is an experienced software engineer looking for a hands-on senior software engineer / tech lead position, backend-leaning, with significant frontend skills. He has worked at companies of all kinds, from seed-stage startups to FAANG. He excels in close interaction with product people, stakeholders, and users, working cross-functionally and cross-team to improve communication and coordinate work. He prefers building the right thing without haste but can prioritize impactful changes for quicker shipping. Dmitry values autonomy and high impact, having built things from nebulous ideas to production launches and evolved large existing systems (frontend, backend, databases). He views AI coding tools positively as a replacement for some human labor but not human judgment. He is glad to communicate, mentor, and coordinate work, but is not seeking a full-time people manager role. His north star is people like John Carmack or Rob Pike.
