Mission

We're hiring a Team Lead to own the technical direction and delivery of our event-driven backend services. You'll lead a small team (2–3 engineers, with plans to grow), combining hands-on development with mentorship, architectural guidance, and cross-functional collaboration. As we explore AI and agentic capabilities in the future, you'll be well-positioned to drive that evolution. The ideal candidate is a strong engineer first — someone who leads by building, reviewing, and raising the bar for the team.

Job Functions

• Lead a team of 2–3 developers: set priorities, conduct code reviews, and support career growth
• Architect and build event-driven microservices using Node.js , TypeScript, RabbitMQ, and MongoDB
• Drive adoption and enforcement of hexagonal (ports and adapters) architecture across the team's services
• Own technical decisions: service boundaries, messaging patterns, data modeling, and deployment strategies
• Establish and maintain engineering standards — testing, CI/CD, observability, documentation
• Collaborate with product, design, and stakeholders to translate requirements into deliverable technical plans
• Identify bottlenecks, manage technical debt, and continuously improve team velocity and code quality
• Evaluate and introduce AI/agentic capabilities into the platform as the team's roadmap evolves
