Role Description This is a hands-on leadership role. You will lead a small team of engineers while actively contributing to the codebase. Your focus is execution—shipping high-quality features, maintaining velocity, and ensuring the team delivers consistently. You are not just a coordinator. You are a builder who leads from the front. - Feature delivery from concept to production across backend, frontend, and integrations - Day-to-day engineering leadership for a small, high-performing team - Code quality and standards (reviews, testing discipline, maintainability) - Sprint execution and delivery cadence (working closely with VP of Development) - Hands-on development in: - C#/.NET backend services - Angular / TypeScript frontend - Collaboration with product and leadership to translate requirements into shipped features - Debugging and problem-solving across the stack under real production pressure - Mentorship of engineers—raising the bar on output, thinking, and ownership Qualifications - 7–10+ years of software development experience - 2+ years leading or mentoring engineers (formal or informal) - Strong expertise in: - C#/.NET backend development - RESTful APIs - SQL / relational database design - Solid experience with: - Modern frontend frameworks (Angular preferred, React acceptable) - TypeScript / JavaScript - Experience working in cloud environments (Azure preferred, AWS/GCP acceptable) - Ability to own features end-to-end, not just tickets - Strong communication skills—you can align engineers and communicate trade-offs clearly Requirements - You’ve worked in a startup or high-velocity environment where shipping matters - You are comfortable with ambiguity and incomplete specs - You think in systems, not just tasks - You can balance speed vs. quality without overengineering - You’ve worked on multi-tenant SaaS products - Exposure to AI/ML features or API integrations (LLMs, data pipelines, etc.) - Experience leading remote/distributed teams effectively Benefits - Full-time (U.S. business hours preferred) - Compensation: $5000

• Participate in software design, development, refactoring, support, and code reviews to maintain high development standards. • Collaborate with platform teams to deliver great results. • Work autonomously on your tasks with guidance where needed, while continuing to grow your expertise. • Optimize the platform to achieve maximum throughput and scalability. • Be proactive and go beyond expectations, with a strong focus on learning and improvement.

• Join our DevOps Engineering team as a Senior Database Engineer to design, build, and engineer cloud-native database platforms. • You'll work closely with DevOps and Product Engineering to build high-performing data infrastructure. • You will own and evolve a diverse ecosystem spanning AWS RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, Redshift, Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, and NoSQL engines.
