  • Mentor engineers, unblock challenges, and drive technical decisions

Technical Must-Haves :

  • 7-8 years in software development, 4-5 years in product companies (customer-facing SaaS)
  • Strong backend focus : 2-3 years of Node.js + 5 years with relational databases
  • 1-2 years as a tech lead (owning architecture, design, and code quality)
  • Full-stack exposure but prefers backend complexity
  • Proven experience supporting production SaaS applications
  • Leadership Must-Haves :

  • 2-3 years managing teams (4-7 engineers)
  • Experience with performance cycles, hiring, and team development
  • Ability to align engineering roadmaps with product goals
  • Scrum / Agile leadership (eventually)
  • Nice-to-Have :

  • Startup + enterprise experience (US / EU hybrid teams a plus)
  • GCP infrastructure knowledge
  • Background in sales / marketing tech or ML-powered products
  • Why Apply?

    Shape both technology and team culture in a high-growth AI startup. Equal parts builder and leader.
