Job Description

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.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience leading engineering teams and 7+ years in software development (ideally with JVM/Scala or React experience).
  • Comfort with ambiguity and building the "MVP" without sacrificing long-term system integrity.
  • Experience with microservices, distributed systems, and designing APIs for global enterprise use.
  • Preference for a "ship and iterate" approach, distinguishing between Day 1 perfection and Day 30 optimization.
  • Proven track record of growing junior engineers into seniors and seniors into leads/architects.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with enterprise B2B partnerships and large-scale system integration.
  • Familiarity with travel technology or fintech ecosystems.
  • Strong communication skills for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Benefits

  • Well-funded startup with pre-IPO equity packages.
  • Unlimited PTO and travel stipend.
  • Co-working space access and work-from-home stipend.
  • Generous parental leave and comprehensive health coverage.
  • Entrepreneurial culture with open communication and impact-driven roles.
