Trupanion is a leading provider of medical insurance for cats and dogs in North America. Our mission is to help loving, responsible pet owners budget and care for their pets. At Trupanion, we offer a collaborative, casual, and pet-friendly environment where everyone is encouraged to be themselves.
Job Description
US – Seattle only:
This position is open to candidates in the Seattle, WA area. You will have a hybrid remote/in-office schedule where you will work from our casual, pet-friendly office at least 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday).
Trupanion is seeking a Software Development Manager to lead teams responsible for building, operating, and evolving Trupanion's customer-facing web and mobile experiences. This role is ideal for a leader who remains deeply technical, actively contributes to architecture and engineering decisions, and takes ownership of delivering exceptional digital experiences that drive customer acquisition, engagement, retention, and self-service capabilities.
This is not a purely managerial role. Success requires strong technical leadership, sound architectural judgment, and direct involvement in engineering execution. You will partner closely with Product, UX, Marketing, e-Commerce, and business stakeholders to modernize and scale the platforms that support the entire member journey across web and mobile channels.
Key Responsibilities:
Technical Leadership

- Partner with architects and senior engineers to establish long-term technology direction while balancing innovation, stability, and operational excellence.
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, Codex, Copilot) to improve engineering effectiveness and promote responsible adoption across teams. Leverage AI to both improve time-to-market and quality of software overall.
- Champion best practices for performance, accessibility, security, maintainability, and user experience across all digital properties.
Digital Experience Delivery & Business Impact
- Drive engineering investments that improve conversion rates, customer engagement, platform reliability, and operational efficiency.
- Ensure work is well-scoped, well-designed, and delivered predictably while maintaining a high standard of quality.
- Establish engineering practices that support rapid delivery without compromising long-term maintainability.
Production Ownership & Operational Excellence
- Own the health, reliability, and operational readiness of customer-facing digital platforms
- Lead and personally contribute to production incident resolution, including hands-on troubleshooting and debugging when necessary.
- Drive structured incident response, root cause analysis, and preventative improvements.
- Establish and maintain monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability practices.
- Ensure teams are prepared for production support and operational responsibilities.
- Promote a shift-left mindset for quality, security, observability, and operational readiness.
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Work effectively with Product, UX, Marketing, e-Commerce, Engineering, DevOps and Infrastructure, and business stakeholders to align priorities and outcomes.
- Communicate technical trade-offs, risks, platform strategy, and delivery impacts clearly to executive and non-technical audiences.
- Influence technical direction through credibility, collaboration, and strong engineering leadership.
- Partner with business teams to translate customer and organizational goals into scalable technology solutions.
- Talent Leadership & Mentorship
- Recruit, hire, and retain high-performing software engineers.
- Drive creation of a high-performance organization that balances accountability, ownership, continuous improvement, innovation, operational excellence, collaboration, communication, and customer obsession.

- Experience with Azure DevOps and CI/CD practices.
- Strong system design, troubleshooting, and production support experience.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

- Experience with Sitefinity CMS, including content modeling, templates, widgets, custom module development, APIs, and MVC architecture.
- Experience leading web platform modernization, CMS migrations, or large-scale website replatforming initiatives.
- Experience migrating customers and user traffic from legacy digital platforms to modern architectures.
- Strong background in Azure, including Azure SQL, App Services, Service Bus, and cloud-native application development.
- Experience delivering eCommerce, subscription management, payment, or customer acquisition experiences.
- Familiarity with native mobile development technologies, including Swift and Kotlin.
- Experience working closely with Marketing and Digital Experience teams.
Nice to Have:

Tips for Your Web Development Team Lead Job Search
Tailor your resume for technical leadership
Hiring managers for web development team lead roles want to see both engineering depth and people outcomes. Quantify team size, delivery velocity improvements, and cross-functional projects you owned, not just the languages and frameworks you used.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists web development team lead openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight your code review and mentorship history
Many web development team lead postings screen for demonstrated mentorship, so your resume and cover letter should name specific practices you established, such as PR review standards, pair programming cadences, or onboarding programs you built for junior engineers.
Target postings by team structure, not just stack
A web development team lead role at a startup often means being a player-coach writing production code daily, while the same title at a large company may be mostly people management. Read job descriptions carefully for IC-to-management ratios before applying.
Prepare a system design narrative for interviews
Interviewers for web development team lead positions frequently open with architecture scenarios, expecting you to walk through trade-offs out loud. Practice explaining past technical decisions, including what you would change now, since that reflection signals leadership maturity.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
When you receive an offer as a web development team lead, clarify reporting structure, headcount authority, and budget ownership before you accept. These define the actual influence of the role and directly affect your ability to deliver on what you were hired to do.
Web Development Team Lead Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most web development team leads?
Esri, America On Tech, and FAS are hiring the most web development team leads right now, with openings concentrated in California, Washington, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to be highest at product companies, digital agencies, and enterprise organizations undergoing platform modernization.
How many web development team lead jobs are remote?
About 94% of web development team lead openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the distributed nature of engineering teams across many industries. Front-end and full-stack lead roles tend to have the highest remote availability, while leads overseeing infrastructure or DevOps integration are more often required on-site.
How do you become a web development team lead?
Most web development team leads move up from senior individual contributor roles by consistently delivering complex projects, mentoring junior developers, and volunteering to own cross-team coordination. Building visibility through code reviews, technical documentation, and advocating for engineering process improvements signals readiness for the step into formal leadership without waiting to be asked.
Can you get hired as a web development team lead without prior management experience?
Yes, some companies hire engineers into their first formal lead role if they've demonstrated informal leadership such as driving architectural decisions, running standups, or onboarding new hires. A strong portfolio of collaborative projects, documented mentorship, and a clear narrative about how you've influenced team outcomes without the title can offset a lack of direct reports on your resume.
What does the web development team lead interview process look like?
Most web development team lead interview processes include an initial recruiter screen, a technical assessment covering system design or architecture review, a coding or take-home exercise, and a leadership panel where you discuss past team decisions and conflict resolution. Final rounds often include a conversation with engineering leadership or a cross-functional stakeholder to assess cultural and strategic fit.
Where can I find and apply to web development team lead jobs?
You can find and apply to web development team lead jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your stack, experience level, and preferred work arrangement, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
