Responsibilities
- Hire, mentor, and coach a multidisciplinary squad. You’ll be responsible for building a high-trust culture where engineers are empowered to act like owners.
- Partner closely with product teams to translate "big-picture" partner needs into executable technical roadmaps. You’ll ensure we ship high-quality features while managing the unique complexities of B2B integrations and public-facing APIs.
- While you won't be coding 100% of the time, you will stay deeply technical. You’ll lead architectural reviews, help unblock complex debugging sessions, and ensure our stack remains scalable and resilient.
- Own the "run" of your team’s services. This means establishing on-call rotations, driving down technical debt strategically, and ensuring our systems meet the strict SLAs required by our enterprise corporate partners.
- Act as the primary technical point of contact for external partners. You must be able to explain complex system constraints to non-technical stakeholders and advocate for the best technical path forward. There may be some travel within North America for client meetings.

- Have 2+ years of experience leading engineering teams and 7+ years in software development (ideally with JVM/Scala or React experience).
- You are comfortable with ambiguity and can build the "MVP" without sacrificing the long-term integrity of the system.
- You have experience with microservices, distributed systems, and designing APIs that are robust enough for global enterprise use.
- You prefer a "ship and iterate" approach. You can distinguish between what needs to be perfect on Day 1 and what can be optimized on Day 30.
- You find more satisfaction in your team’s success than your individual commits. You have a proven track record of growing junior engineers into seniors and seniors into leads/architects.
