Role Description As a Technical Lead on the Growth team, you will own the fullstack architecture for our customer-facing conversion and engagement surfaces, with a primary focus on backend services, APIs, and data flows. You’ll lead 3–6 engineers through multi-month projects, balancing hands-on backend development with architectural leadership across the stack. - Define and evolve the fullstack architecture for Growth surfaces — landing pages, onboarding flows, conversion funnels, and personalization layers. - Champion a component-driven design system with modular, testable patterns that support A/B testing, feature flagging, and rapid experimentation. - Drive performance optimization across the stack — backend response times, API efficiency, database query performance, and frontend delivery (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, rendering). - Partner with Design, Product, and Marketing to scope experiments, translate requirements into scalable backend services and accessible frontend implementations, and prioritize conversion improvements. - Translate technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders and use written documentation to drive alignment on architectural decisions. - Remain hands-on: write and review code daily across backend (Ruby, Python) and frontend (TypeScript/React). - Provide accurate milestone estimates, monitor progress against schedules, and proactively communicate risks to stakeholders. Technical Leadership & Mentorship - Mentor engineers on backend best practices, API design, database modeling, and the business context of their work. - Lead backend design reviews independently and establish standards for code quality, performance, and testing coverage. Qualifications - BS/MS in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience. - 7+ years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years focused on backend development. - Deep proficiency in Ruby and/or Python, with strong working knowledge of TypeScript and React. - Strong experience with API design, relational databases (PostgreSQL), and distributed systems. - Proficiency with at least one public cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) and CI/CD pipelines. - Proven track record of leading small-to-medium teams to deliver high-quality, customer-facing applications. - Clear communicator comfortable presenting to both technical and business audiences. Preferred Qualifications - Experience with A/B testing frameworks and data-driven experimentation in a Growth or conversion-focused environment. - Experience integrating AI/ML-powered personalization or recommendation features. - Hands-on experience with analytics instrumentation (e.g., PostHog, Segment, Amplitude). - Familiarity with frontend performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, SSR/ISR, bundle analysis). Compensation Compensation at Point will be determined by skills, experience, and geographic location. - 151,408 - 167,346 CAD Equal Opportunity Employer Point is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. We provide employment opportunities regardless of age, race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other protected class.
