Tech Lead / Founding Engineer

We are Botika, a well-funded small startup on the fast track to success with thousands of paying customers and growing rapidly. Located in the heart of Tel Aviv, just next to the red line, we are looking for a talented and experienced hands-on Tech Lead to join us and take our core team to the next stage.

We're a product oriented team giving the smallest of brands super-powers previously only available to the largest of enterprises. Our product is a cutting-edge AI platform designed to help eCommerce sellers save time, money and maximize their ROI on all their visual content. We turn the most basic and simple product images into studio-grade, optimized photos that engage audiences across channels and convert.

We're also AI and software perfectionists. Our team has decades of expertise and passion in all things software - from GenAI research, to large scale architectures, and stellar frontends. We research our own proprietary AI models from the ground up and our platform and systems are built on the latest and greatest standards. We build for scale, are early adopters by heart, and always work on unique problems.

As the Tech Lead / Founding Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of our development efforts. You will design and write large scale AI systems and image processing tools, create infrastructure used by the team and products, make long-term technical decisions and work directly with our product team. This role offers the perfect blend of technical leadership and hands-on development.

You probably are

• A software engineering overlord with 8+ years of experience, an amazing eye for detail and a 6th sense for software design and architecture.
• Proficient in Python, Node, and pretty much every language and framework people ever ask you about.
• A product-oriented person who loves delivering. You enjoy building platforms that are used by people, getting quick feedback and iterating based on actual needs.
• Super experienced as a senior backend developer & architect with a strong portfolio of large scale projects.

You are also

• Really friendly, a great communicator, and (most likely) you watch shows like Severance, Fargo and tons of HBO.
• Someone who enjoys working with people in various positions and seeing the big picture.
• A self and fast learner that's always first to know and understand new tools and concepts.
