Connecteam is a fast-growing startup based in Tel Aviv, on a mission to revolutionize the deskless work experience. With over a billion deskless workers across the globe, the challenges - and opportunities - are endless.

We are expanding and looking for a passionate, experienced, and innovative Platform Team Lead to join our Core Infrastructure team and help shape the future of work.

About the Role

As a Platform Team Lead at Connecteam, you will lead a critical cross-functional team focused on building and evolving the core infrastructure that powers our Big Data, Marketing Tech, CRM, and Data Science initiatives.

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend systems, ensuring stability, performance, and operational excellence.
• Build core services and infrastructure that enable Marketing, Data Science, CRM, and Engineering teams to move faster and smarter.
• Drive platform initiatives around Big Data processing, event-driven architectures, and distributed systems.
• Partner with stakeholders across the company to understand evolving business needs and translate them into technical solutions.
• Champion innovation by evaluating and integrating new technologies, frameworks, and practices that elevate our product and internal capabilities.
• Maintain a high bar for code quality, security, and scalability.

• Foster a culture of learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  
  

• 6+ years of experience in backend development using Python, Java, or a similar language.
• 3+ years of experience leading technical teams.
• Expertise with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL/datastore systems (e.g., MongoDB, Redis).
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) and container orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Hands-on experience with building systems that support Big Data, analytics pipelines, or event-driven architectures — a strong advantage.
• Familiarity with CRM platforms, MarTech systems, or Data Science tooling — a plus.
• Deep understanding of software design principles, distributed systems, testing methodologies, and CI/CD best practices.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with a proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
• Passion for innovation, experimentation, and pushing the limits of technology.
  
  

• Build core infrastructure at scale, touching millions of users.
• Drive innovation across multiple domains — from engineering to marketing tech to data science.
• Help shape how the deskless workforce operates globally.
  
  

• We build our people up. Every team member is treated as a long-term investment and we recognize the value in always nurturing and training them so they can go above and beyond in their skills and job duties.
• We make an impact on our customer's business. We are on a mission to provide managers of all business types and sizes with the tools they need to communicate, operate, engage, and run their deskless workforce. Our product offers them an effective and affordable solution to run their business.
• We get the job done. Connecteam employees are passionate in executing their job duties so they can drive the company forward and provide real value to our customers.
