About the Role

Devsavant is seeking an API Lead / Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for a real-time, map-based emergency response platform. This is a hands-on leadership position combining technical ownership of the platform's architecture with day-to-day management of a small, focused engineering team.

What You'll Do
  • Manage and guide a team of engineers delivering a real-time, map-based emergency response platform

  • Read and interpret product documentation and requirements, translating them into clear, actionable technical tickets

  • Serve as a technical reference for the project and help shape product requirements alongside stakeholders

  • Own the integration between the backend API and the React frontend

  • Drive architecture decisions across a serverless stack: AWS Lambda, SQS, S3, and related services

  • Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions

What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience managing engineering teams, ideally in a hands-on, individual-contributor-adjacent capacity

  • Strong TypeScript and Node.js

  • Experience with serverless infrastructure-as-code frameworks (SST and Pulumi) and AWS Lambda

  • Familiarity with React, sufficient to manage frontend/backend integration effectively

  • Comfort owning architecture decisions and translating product requirements into technical execution

  • Experience managing a team of approximately 3 engineers

Nice to Have
  • Experience with SOC 2 compliance frameworks (the project is working toward TX-RAMP certification)

Logistics
  • Location/hours: Remote, with working hours overlapping the US Central Time zone (Texas)

  • Timeline: Immediate need
