You will build the team and the service that checks a player's age and gets a parent's consent before a child can buy. This is a coding role. You write production code at least half of your week, you make the architecture decisions, and you hire the engineers who build this with you.

Write production Go and TypeScript: the status API, token validation, consent rules, the standalone widget and the web SDK
Own the architecture and write it down
Hire and grow a team of about six backend, frontend and QA engineers: write the role profiles, run the interviews, onboard each person
Set up how the team works: code review, CI, releases, on-call, AI coding tools in the repositories
Keep children's data safe: token validation, consent records, no decision from a result that only the browser reports
Work with Legal, Security teams on requirements, dependencies and release gates
7+ years in software engineering, Go as your main language for the last 3+ years. You still write and ship code
2+ years as a tech lead or team lead of 4+ engineers, with hiring experience: you have built a team or a large part of one
Backend depth: API design, PostgreSQL, message queues, idempotent integrations with third-party APIs, workflow orchestration (Temporal or similar)
TypeScript: enough to review React or Angular code and design a small embeddable web SDK
Security basics for identity flows: JWT, OAuth2, webhook signatures, XSS, CSRF, CSP
Operations: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, tracing and metrics, on-call for a service you own
Daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), including their setup for a repository
English at B2 or higher
