Description

About HiBob HiBob is a vibrant, fast-growing company on a mission to transform how modern, mid-sized companies manage their people. Our product serves over 5,300 customers globally, and our teams work in a true continuous delivery environment with modern microservices, automated QA, and frequent production deployments. About the Role We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Team Lead to join our Studio Team within the Platform Unit. This role combines people leadership, senior-level engineering across backend and frontend domains, and platform-oriented thinking, and plays a key part in building and scaling Bob’s next-generation extensibility and AI-powered experience layer. As a Team Lead in the Studio team, you will lead a team of engineers while remaining actively involved in designing and implementing scalable systems that enable applications, widgets, workflows, and AI-driven experiences across the platform. If you’re passionate about leading people, shaping technical direction, and staying hands-on while building zero-to-one platform capabilities and AI-native experiences — this role is for you. Why Join the Studio Team? Lead a team at the core of Bob’s platform extensibility and future interaction model. Influence both user-facing experiences (applications, widgets, workflows) and the underlying platform and developer foundations. Work in a highly collaborative environment with strong Product, Platform, AI, and Design partners. Make a real impact at scale while growing as a technical and people leader. What You Bring Must Have * 7+ years of experience in software engineering with a strong backend or full-stack focus. * 3+ years of experience as an engineering team lead in a fast-paced environment. * Strong hands-on experience with modern backend technologies and system design. * Proven experience building and maintaining scalable distributed systems or platform capabilities. * Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS or equivalent). * Solid understanding of modern frontend technologies (e.g., React, component-based architecture). * Ability to balance technical depth, people leadership, and product/platform thinking. * Excellent communication skills in English (Hebrew is a plus). * Passion for both people management and hands-on engineering. Nice to Have * Experience building or operating AI / LLM-based systems in production. * Experience with extensibility platforms, APIs, or developer ecosystems. * Familiarity with workflow engines, orchestration systems, or event-driven architectures. * Background in developer experience (DevX), internal platforms, or shared services. * Experience with dynamic UI systems or design systems. * Experience mentoring engineers or leading internal guilds / tech forums. What You’ll Do Technical Leadership & Hands-on Development * Lead the design, development, and operation of platform services and frameworks that power applications, widgets, workflows, and AI-driven experiences. * Take ownership of end-to-end delivery — from discovery and architecture through implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring. * Address scalability, performance, and reliability challenges in systems enabling real-time, interactive, and AI-powered user experiences. Work closely with Platform, AI, Data, DevOps, Product, and Design teams to ensure seamless integration of Studio capabilities into the broader platform. Drive high engineering standards through code reviews, architecture discussions, testing practices, and automation. Team Leadership & Growth * Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers within the Studio team. * Own hiring, onboarding, coaching, and professional development of team members. * Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, learning, and innovation. * Support engineers in growing their scope and taking end-to-end responsibility. Platform & Developer Experience * Contribute to and evolve Studio platform capabilities, including frameworks, SDKs, and tooling for building applications and workflows. * Improve developer and builder experience by enhancing extensibility, observability, CI/CD flows, and internal frameworks. * Enable and shape GenAI-powered experiences, including conversational interfaces, dynamic UI generation (GenUI), and data-driven workflows. * Collaborate with Architects and Platform leadership to align Studio with long-term platform and extensibility strategy.
