Lead Software Developer- Sad Ven

Aspire Software is looking for a Lead Software Developer to join our team in Lebanon.

Here is a little window into our company: Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.

About the Role :
We’re building innovative AI-powered call receptionist solutions tailored for the restaurant industry. We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer who will set the technical bar for the product and the team building it. You’ll lead by example: writing code, making hard architectural calls, coaching engineers, and helping us scale without slowing down. You’ll be helping multiple teams move faster without breaking things and making sure the system we’re building today still works six months from now.

Key Responsibilities

• Set technical direction
• Shape the overall architecture across frontend, backend, and integrations.
• Make and document clear technical decisions, especially where trade-offs matter.
• Help teams think through scaling, reliability, and complexity before problems show up in production.
• Be the person engineers turn to when problems are hard and the answer isn’t obvious.
• Enable and level-up the teams
• Work across teams, helping engineers grow their skills and confidence.
• Coach through real work: pairing, reviewing code, and discussing design decisions.
• Raise the bar for what “good” looks like, while keeping things pragmatic and shippable.
• Create space for teams to move faster by removing technical and process friction.
• Improve how we build and ship
• Establish and evolve best practices around:
• Testing (unit, integration, end-to-end)
• Release and deployment workflows
• Code quality and review standards
• Help us ship frequently and safely, without slowing teams down.
• Introduce tools, automation, and processes only when they clearly add value.
• Stay hands-on where it counts
• Contribute directly to the codebase, especially in high-impact or complex areas.
• Jump in to unblock teams, prototype solutions, or stabilize critical systems.
• Lead by example through the quality of your code and technical judgment.

• Experience operating at a senior or staff engineer level on real production systems.

• A track record of influencing multiple engineers or teams through technical leadership.
• Strong JavaScript / TypeScript experience across frontend and backend.
• Experience designing and maintaining external integrations or APIs.
• Comfort making architectural trade-offs in environments that are still evolving.
• Experience using AI-assisted coding tools to move faster, and you’re opinionated about where they help, where they don’t, and how to use them responsibly in a production codebase.

You’re comfortable with

• Ambiguity - not everything is figured out yet, and that’s part of the job.
• Balancing speed with long-term quality.
• Giving and receiving direct, thoughtful feedback.
• Being accountable for outcomes, not just implementations.

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:

• Experience with Voice AI, conversational systems, or real-time applications.
• Experience with POS systems, booking platforms, or complex SaaS integrations.
• Time spent in early-stage or scaling startups.
