We’re looking for a strong hands-on senior Backend Engineer (Tech lead) with a passion for technical excellence and leadership.

The Tech Lead serves as the technical owner of one or more domains within the product — driving architecture, design, and code quality while mentoring developers and fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

In this role, you’ll lead by influence, not hierarchy — partnering closely with Product Leads and Domain Architects to ensure scalable, maintainable, and high-performing solutions. You’ll balance hands-on technical work with guiding others, setting engineering standards, and shaping the technical roadmap.

The team is comprised of 3-5 seasoned and expert engineers, with a focus on code quality and data-driven decision-making. The team owns the most critical component of the product and holds our core intellectual property (IP).

What You’ll be Doing:

· Drive engineering best practices through design reviews, code reviews, and technical mentoring.

· Collaborate with Product Leads on prioritization, backlog, and feasibility decisions.

· Contribute to architectural discussions and cross-domain alignment.

· As the technical authority in your team you’ll be partnering with managers to shape hiring decisions, provide feedback/input for performance reviews, and contribute to other team-related decisions.

· Foster a culture of learning, innovation, and technical excellence.

· Tackle technical challenges - performance, fault-tolerance, and live production issues.

Must Have the Following:

• Experienced and innovative problem-solver.

• Proven experience leading big features & designs from rough ideas to requirements up to development & production

• At least 5 years of C\C++ experience in a multi-threaded performance-critical programming

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in cross-functional environments

It will be great if you also have prior experience with:

· Experience working with public cloud (AWS, Azure) services and APIs

· Kubernetes

. Kernel space programming

· Virtualization

· Storage

· Networking

· Scrum/Agile

· Advanced project management skills including time and risk management as well as resource prioritization.

· Development teams leadership experience.

What’s in it for you?

· An environment that demands very high technical standards.

· Enjoy full technical independence while leading features from conception to implementation.

· Impact the roadmap of the core component in the product.

· Promote a workplace culture that prioritizes personal development and servant leadership
