Core skills
Required skills
We are looking for a highly technical, hands-on Tech Lead to guide a small feature team of 3 to 4 engineers. We are not looking for an administrative manager who just sits in meetings and assigns tasks; we want a builder. In this role, you will lead by doing. You will write exceptional code, architect robust backend systems, and guide your team by example. We love engineers who truly "feel" the product—people who understand the business goals, care deeply about the user experience, and proactively do whatever it takes to ship a great product. You will own the technical execution of your team using a modern stack focused on SaaS backend architectures, Scala, Python, and TypeScript. Crucially, you are a modern developer who knows how to leverage AI coding agents to multiply your team's output without compromising on quality.
