Technical Engineering Lead

We are looking for a skilled Technical Engineering Lead to drive the development of our backend systems while mentoring a talented team of developers. This is a hands-on role, where technical expertise comes first: you will spend the majority of your time coding and contributing directly to the product, with a smaller portion dedicated to leading and supporting the team.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain robust backend systems and APIs.

• Lead, mentor, and support a small team of developers, fostering growth and knowledge sharing.

• Participate in technical planning, code reviews, and architecture decisions.

• Collaborate closely with frontend developers, product managers, and stakeholders to ensure seamless integration and delivery.

• Contribute to both day-to-day development tasks and long-term strategic initiatives.

Technical Stack:

• Frontend: Svelte.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

• Backend: Node.js, Postgres

• Cloud: AWS

• Related Technologies: Python, C/C++, Rust, Linux, WebAssembly (future)

• Tools: Git, Linear, Atlassian stack (for source control and management)

Requirements

• 8+ years of backend development experience (Node.js, JavaScript, or similar technologies).

• Proven experience leading or mentoring a development team.

• Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and best practices.

• Hands-on experience with databases, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.

• Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

Conditions

• Innovative Environment: Work on challenging projects that push the boundaries of technology.

• Growth Opportunities: Be part of a growing team where your contributions are valued, and there’s ample room for professional development.

• Our work schedule follows a remote approach, emphasizing strong teamwork, positive collaboration, and goal achievement. We believe in an (almost) hands-off approach, valuing output and results over micromanaging and counting minutes.
