Requirements
• Outstanding achievement in any area—academics, sports, work, or otherwise. You’ve gone above and beyond expectations. • A true passion for engineering. Whether it’s contributing to open-source or building side-projects, you pursue engineering out of genuine interest and enjoyment. You’re confident tackling ambiguity and producing quality code. • At Omnea, we embrace diversity. To build a product that's loved by everyone, we're best served by a team with all sorts of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't quite match the full job spec! And regardless of your race, religion, colour, gender, or anything else! If you think you could be a good fit for Omnea, please reach out. • A few things to note: • We work Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays in-person at our offices. At this early stage of our company life-cycle it's important to us that we get this together-time, and you can read more about why we believe this is a winning move here • We're commercial, ambitious and we don't pretend otherwise! We're actively seeking folks looking to make the most of a career-defining opportunity, with the hunger to be part of building something really impressive. You can see our values here • We sometimes use AI note-takers to help us transcribe interview notes, so we can be more present in your interview. If you'd like to opt out of us using automatic transcribers, please note this in the free text field in your application, otherwise we'll take your application as confirmation that you're happy for us to use notetakers (whether added to video calls or in the background). • We are proud to be recognised for both our culture and product, and we are just getting started. Join us as we grow! • Additionally, where roles have hard-specified requirements (e.g. days in office, unable to provide visas, etc), if in your application you provide deterministic check-box confirmation that you do not meet the hard-specified requirements, deterministic (not AI or subjective) automatic rejection criteria are in place.
Responsibilities
• You’ll be joining us at a pivotal moment. We’ve just closed a $50M Series B round led by Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, Accel, Point Nine, and First Round Capital. In the past year, we’ve grown revenue 5x, tripled our customer base, and maintained enterprise retention above 99% with clients like Spotify, Wise, Albertsons, Adecco, and McAfee. Our small, high-calibre team was built by interviewing over 10,000 candidates to hire our first 50 Omneans. • Now, we’re scaling rapidly, building the category of AI Supplier Relationship Management. We’re seeking Staff-level engineers who can lead teams or initiatives, influence technical direction across domains, and help make procurement a strategic advantage. • You should be prepared for a pair-programming interview stage in JavaScript or TypeScript, as if it were your primary language. This is a hands-on leadership role—we expect Team Leader – Staff Engineers to lead by example through code, technical decisions, and delivery ownership. We’re hiring full-stack engineers, so if your experience is mainly in frontend, backend, devops/platform, or in a substantially different language (like Java), this role may not be the right fit. • We value skills over years of experience, but as guidance, candidates for this role typically have 8–10+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful team or complex initiative leadership. • As a Staff Engineer at Omnea, you’ll stay hands-on, writing code, and leading through technical execution and ownership—rather than through meetings or high-level architectural discussions. • What Can You Expect in Our Tech Team? • Direct Product Impact. You’ll directly influence product direction and execution—shaping the roadmap with Product and Design, defining project scopes, making architectural decisions, and ensuring technical trade-offs align with business and customer needs. At this level, your influence typically spans multiple teams or systems, translating broad goals into effective, high-impact execution plans. • Work with Modern Tech. Omnea is fully cloud-native and serverless. Our core stack includes TypeScript, React & Material UI, Postgres, Hasura, and AWS serverless tools like Lambda, DynamoDB, and EventBridge—all managed using AWS CDK & SST. We use Sentry, Lumigo, and LogRocket for observability, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD. As a Team Leader, you’ll help define technical standards, guide best practices, and ensure consistency across teams and systems. • End-to-End Ownership. You’ll own delivery outcomes from start to finish for a team or initiative—from discovery and technical design through deployment, monitoring, and measuring customer impact. You’ll be responsible for quality, reliability, and velocity, while empowering engineers to take initiative and continuously improve how work is done. • Continuous Delivery. We embrace continuous delivery to keep our systems agile, safe, and responsive. You’ll help your team ship small, incremental updates to production several times a day, balancing speed with robustness, operational excellence, and long-term maintainability. • Tackle Scalability Challenges. As Omnea grows from tens to hundreds of enterprise customers and expands into new product domains, you’ll guide teams through major scalability challenges—evolving architecture, processes, and technical standards, all while maintaining performance and reliability. • Collaboration & Autonomy. You’ll operate with significant autonomy, owning decisions within your domain and driving work forward. While embedded with a specific team, your default scope and influence are broader, working closely with other engineering leaders and cross-functional partners to solve tough problems and align on strategy. • Customers at the Centre. Customer impact is at the core of everything we do. You’ll partner with Product, Sales, and Customer teams to prioritise work based on customer feedback and issues, respond quickly to incidents, and ensure that delivery decisions always maximise customer value across our product.
