Description

Your Impact


  • Design and evolve scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems across frontend, backend, and data layers.
  • Lead architectural decisions, define engineering standards, and drive Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
  • Own and deliver complex technical initiatives end-to-end, translating business goals into actionable technical roadmaps.
  • Contribute meaningfully across the product, leveraging your holistic understanding of the system to help the team deliver complete customer outcomes—including frontend implementation when needed.
  • Mentor engineers and elevate technical excellence through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and best-practice development.
  • Champion AI-assisted engineering workflows and help teams leverage AI-first development practices.
  • Drive improvements in testing, CI/CD, observability, system reliability, and operational excellence.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Data, and Engineering leadership to influence strategy and deliver customer value.
  • Manage operational and technical dependencies with external vendors and partners, including platforms such as Google Workspace, domain providers, email services, and RankingCoach.

What You Bring


  • 8+ years of engineering experience in product-led environments, including experience operating at a senior, staff, or principal level.
  • Deep backend expertise with technologies such as Kotlin, Java, or Node.js.
  • Strong experience designing APIs, distributed systems, service architectures, integrations, and reliable production systems.
  • Solid frontend capability, especially with React and TypeScript — you do not need to be frontend-specialized, but you can contribute meaningfully to frontend implementation and technical discussions.
  • Proven track record leading large-scale architectural, platform, integration, or modernization initiatives.
  • Deep understanding of software architecture, testing strategies, CI/CD, observability, and operational excellence.
  • Strong experience collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders and influencing technical direction across multiple teams.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to mentor and guide engineers.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude, or similar technologies.
  • Experience establishing engineering standards and best practices across an organization.
  • Passion for building products that help entrepreneurs and small businesses succeed.
