The posting

At Current, Lead Engineers drive the technical direction and delivery of complex digital experiences across multiple client engagements. You’ll partner closely with cross-functional teams across strategy, design, production, and engineering to build scalable, high-quality digital platforms and applications.

Lead Engineers are both strategic and hands-on technical leaders. You’re comfortable architecting solutions, guiding engineering teams, collaborating directly with clients, and jumping into execution when needed. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges while helping shape engineering standards and best practices across the agency.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the technical architecture, development, and delivery of complex digital projects across multiple client engagements
  • Partner with strategy, design, production, and engineering teams to define technical approaches and delivery plans
  • Serve as a technical lead and point of contact for client stakeholders
  • Build scalable, maintainable, and high-performing web applications and CMS-driven platforms
  • Develop proof-of-concept solutions and evaluate technical feasibility for integrations and new features
  • Guide engineering standards, code quality, and architectural best practices across projects
  • Conduct code reviews and mentor engineers across the team
  • Assess technical health of active projects and recommend improvements or modernization opportunities
  • Collaborate on project planning, estimation, technical scoping, and delivery strategy
  • Contribute to internal tooling, workflows, and engineering culture initiatives
  • Stay informed on emerging technologies and identify opportunities to improve processes and solutions

What You’ll Bring

  • 6–8 years of software or web development experience, ideally within an agency or consulting environment
  • Strong expertise in JavaScript, PHP, and modern front-end/back-end frameworks such as React, Vue, Angular, or Node.js
  • Advanced experience with Drupal and WordPress CMS platforms
  • Deep understanding of Drupal architecture, APIs, custom module development, and theming
  • Strong knowledge of the LAMP stack, including PHP and MySQL
  • Experience building scalable applications, integrations, and API-driven solutions
  • Experience with cloud hosting platforms such as AWS, Acquia, Pantheon, Azure, or Google Cloud
  • Strong understanding of Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment best practices
  • Ability to lead technical decision-making while remaining hands-on in execution
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or containerized development environments
  • Familiarity with automated testing frameworks and DevOps practices
  • Experience working within Agile delivery environments such as Scrum or Kanban
  • Experience leading engineering teams or mentoring developers across projects
  • Strong debugging, optimization, and performance-tuning experience
  • Familiarity with Jira, Workfront, or similar project management tools

Why Current

At Current, we believe the best digital work happens when strategy, design, production, and technology operate as one team. We partner with ambitious brands to create digital experiences that are thoughtful, scalable, and built to drive real impact.

We’re a remote-first agency with teams across the US, working collaboratively across websites, platforms, campaigns, CRM ecosystems, and digital product experiences. Our environment is fast-paced, highly collaborative, and built for people who enjoy solving complex technical challenges alongside smart, supportive teammates.

You’ll have the opportunity to work across a variety of clients and technologies, contribute to meaningful digital experiences, and help shape the future of engineering within a growing agency environment.

The target range of base compensation for this role is $120,000 - $145,000 annually. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors, including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and location.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
