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.
Experience6–12+ 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
