You’ll take ownership of understanding our current products and lead the creation of a scalable platform that will serve multiple products across the company.

• Transition and integrate: Gradually migrate products from outsourced teams into the new platform and in-house ownership.
• Set engineering standards: Establish engineering best practices and high-quality execution. 
• Collaborate broadly: Work closely with product, data, and business teams to translate needs into scalable platform capabilities.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–8 years of software engineering experience (must), including 2+ years in a senior or team lead capacity.
• Experience in hiring and mentoring/leading other developers (as a manager or a tech lead)
• Proven ability to design systems end-to-end and still enjoy being hands-on with code, while managing or tech-leading team members.
• Background in startups or early-stage environments, with ownership from concept to production.
• Strong backend development experience (Node.js and/or Python preferred).
• Experience designing and deploying native cloud architectures (AWS preferred).

• Strong technical decision-making and architectural thinking

Advantage but not Must
