Engineering Tech Lead

We are looking for a Lead Engineering Tech to take ownership of the architecture,

infrastructure, and overall technical direction of our platform. You will serve as the primary technical authority, designing and evolving our AWS-based serverless systems (Lambda, AppSync, Aurora, DynamoDB), shaping our TypeScript/React monorepo, and ensuring our GraphQL-driven APIs perform reliably at scale. Your role will be hands-on: making critical architectural decisions, reviewing code, setting engineering standards, and mentoring the team to build well-crafted, sustainable systems.

This role is both strategic and hands-on: you’ll design system architecture, review and write code, and set standards that make our platform sustainable and secure. You’ll also mentor engineers, helping them grow their skills and ensuring the team maintains a high technical bar.

The ideal candidate brings deep experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, and modern serverless infrastructure, along with the judgment to balance velocity and long-term maintainability. We’re seeking someone forward-thinking—a self-starter who stays current with the latest technologies and isn’t afraid to push us toward smarter, better ways of working.

What should you bring to the table (our “must-haves”)?

● 5+ years of professional experience building software with TypeScript/Node.js andReact.

● Proven expertise in designing and operating serverless AWS applications (Lambda, AppSync, Aurora, DynamoDB).

● Strong background in architectural decision-making and system design.

● Hands-on experience with modern tooling (ESLint, Prettier, Vitest, CI/CD pipelines).

● Proficiency with AI technologies, including integrating LLMs or other AI services into applications, with a curiosity for exploring emerging AI-driven development patterns.

● Deep understanding of prompt engineering, vector databases, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems.

● Excellent leadership and communication skills, with a track record of mentoring engineers.

● An ownership mindset, accountable for system health, security, and long-term sustainability.

● A forward-looking attitude, motivated to explore and adopt the latest technologies.

Bonus points if...

● Experience with monorepo management tools (PNPM, Nx).

● Background building and scaling GraphQL APIs with AppSync or Apollo.

● Familiarity with observability practices in AWS (CloudWatch, metrics, alarms).

● Experience shipping B2B SaaS products that handle sensitive data.
