We are seeking a builder-leader: someone who codes today, fixes what matters, and grows with the company into a long-term engineering leader.
This role is hands-on with core systems, focused on stabilising and evolving the platform, and leading by example as the team and system complexity grow. It is ideal for a strong senior engineer or tech lead who wants real ownership, technical depth, and a clear path to broader engineering leadership.
Experience
- 6–12+ years in software engineering, with experience taking on technical leadership responsibilities
- Proven experience building, maintaining, and improving production systems in fast-moving environments
- Background in backend-heavy, platform, or marketplace products
- Experience with B2C, B2B2C, or marketplace business models preferred
- Comfortable working in distributed, remote-first teams
Technical Background
- Strong hands-on backend engineer who still codes and enjoys solving real problems
- Experienced in debugging, fixing, and improving existing systems (not just greenfield work)
- Solid understanding of system design, scalability, and architecture — pragmatic and outcome-driven
- Experience with cloud-native platforms, APIs, microservices, and data systems
- Actively up to date with modern development tooling and practices
- Uses AI daily to improve engineering efficiency (coding, debugging, analysis, documentation) and helps others adopt these tools effectively
Leadership & Mindset
- Leads by example: sets the bar through action, quality, and ownership
- Calm, structured, and effective in ambiguous or high-pressure situations
- Product-minded engineer with a strong focus on customer and business impact
- Pragmatic builder who values shipping, learning, and impact over process for its own sake
- High-potential leader with the ambition and capability to grow into a broader engineering leadership role over time
- Trusted sparring partner to founders and senior leadership
