Software Engineering Team Lead

Sisense is looking for a strong, hands-on engineer to join us as the Engineering Manager of our Fabric team. The team is responsible for developing the foundational services and communication infrastructure that connect our microservices-based SaaS platform, ensuring seamless, reliable, and high-performance data flow.

This role is ideal for an experienced backend/full-stack developer ready to take their next step into a leadership position. You’ll guide a small, talented team, driving the design and delivery of critical backend components that ensure performance, scalability, and reliability across our SaaS platform.

You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, helping to shape the technical direction of core systems and bringing best practices in distributed service design, observability, and orchestration.

What You’ll Do

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Guide and mentor a small, high-performing team of full-stack engineers, cultivating technical excellence, ownership, and collaboration.
• Promote high engineering standards and a culture of accountability.
• Support delivery processes and agile practices (experience as Scrum Master or team focal point is an advantage).

Technical Ownership

• Design and build the core services that power the Sisense Fabric inter-service communication, event-driven workflows, and messaging systems.
• Directly own the design and operational excellence of mission-critical platform components leveraging Node.js, K8s, AWS components, MongoDB (Atlas), and RabbitMQ.
• Drive system architecture and technical design decisions for scalability and reliability.
• Collaborate with Product, Architecture, and DevOps to deliver new features and improvements.
• Ensure observability, monitoring, and operational excellence across all services.

What You’ve Done So Far

• 5+ years of hands-on backend or full-stack development experience in Node.js (advantage: Java, Go, or other backend languages).
• Experience working with Kubernetes, AWS, MongoDB, and RabbitMQ in production environments (RabbitMQ is a must).
• Strong understanding of distributed systems and SaaS multi-tenant architectures.
• Experience taking ownership of complex services or features end-to-end.
• Advantage: Previous experience mentoring engineers, serving as a team focal point, or acting as a Scrum Master.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Why You Should Join Us

• You’ll own key systems that are foundational to Sisense’s platform stability and scale.
• This is an excellent opportunity to step into a leadership role. You’ll still code, but also learn to guide and shape a team.
• You’ll work with modern, distributed SaaS infrastructure and cutting-edge cloud technologies.
• Join a passionate team that values engineering excellence, teamwork, and constant learning.
