The posting, as FormativGroup wrote it

FormativGroup is hiring an Full Stack Tech Lead Engineer to join a Financial Services technology organization that builds and maintains digital products for tax professionals. The team develops internal tools, financial dashboards, analytics, reporting solutions, and other technology that improves how client-serving professionals work.

This is a hands-on Full Stack Tech Lead Engineer role for an experienced technical lead who wants to step into people leadership without stepping away from delivery. You will serve as both the senior technical authority and the people leader: contributing code, setting technical direction, reviewing work, strengthening engineering practices, and helping the team use AI agents effectively across the software development lifecycle. The environment includes legacy .NET/C# services and Angular front ends alongside newer Python, Node.js, and React development. You will help modernize the stack in phases while keeping business-critical components stable.

What You'll Work On

Lead from the keyboard: contribute production code regularly, use AI agents as part of day-to-day delivery, and stay close to the technical work.
Own the team’s technical direction, architecture decisions, long-term technical health, and roadmap across new delivery, modernization, and technical debt.
Lead phased modernization of legacy .NET/C# and Angular components while building new capabilities with Python, Node.js, and React.
Break work into small, well-bounded tasks and route each task to the best executor - an engineer, an agent, or yourself - while keeping coordination lean and outcome-focused.
Own pull request review and provide fast, technically substantive feedback.
Build and manage the technical-debt backlog, resolving priority issues directly instead of relying only on delegation.
Hire, evaluate, coach, and grow engineers; set the technical hiring bar and help the team work effectively with AI agents.
Create and maintain agent operating instructions, verification protocols, and human-in-the-loop controls for code, tests, documentation, and infrastructure changes.
Run evaluation checks before merge and retain human-owned merge control for production branches.
Maintain strong automated testing across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers, and uphold consistent engineering practices across design, coding, testing, release, and operations.
Drive CI/CD automation, containerized delivery, and Infrastructure as Code for cloud-native applications.
Track engineering health and delivery metrics, including required reporting through Atlassian Compass.
Facilitate bi-weekly live demos from the cloud environment, including both product features and agent-enabled workflows.
Partner with the dedicated production support organization by providing tooling, automation, documentation, and runbooks that make the product easier to operate and support.
Reduce operational toil through automation while applyin
