Software Team Lead

A profitable, fast-growing data technology company is hiring a hands-on Tech Lead to lead backend architecture and help shape the next phase of its platform.

The company operates at scale across cybersecurity, digital risk, and business intelligence environments, transforming fragmented web data into structured, reliable production-grade pipelines. Their systems power organizations that depend on stability, performance, and precision.

The Role

This is a technical leadership position with real ownership. You will:

• Lead backend architecture and design scalable, event-driven distributed systems

• Stay hands-on with code (TypeScript preferred) while setting engineering direction

• Drive improvements across tooling, infrastructure, observability, and CI/CD

• Translate product and business needs into clean, maintainable technical solutions

• Establish and uphold high standards for code quality, testing, and operational excellence

• Mentor engineers and influence technical decisions across teams

• Evaluate and introduce technologies that improve scalability and long-term maintainability

You’ll work directly with the VP R&D and have meaningful impact on architecture and engineering culture.

What They’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a hands-on Tech Lead, Staff Engineer, or Architect

• Deep expertise in system design and distributed systems

• Strong coding ability and desire to remain hands-on

• Experience leading major technical initiatives end-to-end

• Experience defining engineering standards and best practices

• Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Significant experience with TypeScript and Node.js

• Background in event-driven architectures

• Exposure to LLMs and modern AI tooling

• Experience with networking, proxies, scraping, or reverse engineering

• Experience working with social platform integrations

Why Join

• Profitable, independent company with strong recurring revenue

• High technical bar and engineering-first culture

• Real production complexity — no toy systems

• Opportunity to influence architecture at scale

• Meaningful technical challenges with real-world impact
