Technical Lead

Role Description

We are looking for a Technical Lead to drive end-to-end application engineering for a large-scale marketing analytics platform, acting as the primary gatekeeper for code quality and architecture as complex logic and AI features are embedded into an existing system. You will:

• Review all PRs and enforce code quality standards, preventing spaghetti code and scope creep.
• Design and deploy containerized applications using REST APIs.
• Embed complex logic, AI features, and outputs from data-heavy backends into the platform without disrupting existing workflows.
• Collaborate with DevOps on the client's AWS data stack, including an S3-backed data lake, Athena, and EKS/Kubernetes, and clarify functional and non-functional requirements.
• Guide senior developers and ensure alignment with the client's engineering practices.
• Lead end-to-end application engineering while maintaining high standards for architecture, scalability, and maintainability.
• Set standards for responsible use of AI-assisted development tools and identify risky AI-driven shortcuts during PR reviews.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of full-stack engineering experience with a strong track record of architectural ownership.
• Strong production experience with Python, including FastAPI or Flask.
• Solid TypeScript/React experience.
• Experience with REST APIs, including migrating away from legacy GraphQL endpoints where needed.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and PostgreSQL, including database migrations.
• Experience building or maintaining data-heavy applications with large payloads or datasets and performance-sensitive application-layer queries.
• Working familiarity with AWS S3, Athena, and EKS/Kubernetes concepts, sufficient to drive DevOps conversations and understand how data reaches the application.
• Awareness of DAG-based task orchestration tools such as Airflow, or comparable orchestration engines.
• Strong experience working in Mac/Linux terminal-centric environments, including Bash and Makefiles.
• Practical, hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, with the critical judgment to assess AI-generated output and maintain long-term code quality.
• Strong technical communication and leadership skills, with the ability to defend technical decisions, challenge unsustainable quick fixes, and balance maintainability with pragmatic delivery.
• Upper-Intermediate English level.

Requirements

• Production experience with Athena, S3-based data lakes, or Airflow.
• Production experience implementing AI features using AWS Bedrock, LangChain, Pydantic AI, or similar technologies.
• Experience with monorepo tooling such as Nx or modern package managers such as Poetry, UV, or Yarn.
• Experience with NoSQL or caching layers such as Redis.
• Exposure to OLAP-style analytics tools such as Trino/Presto, ClickHouse, or SageMaker.
• Experience with marketing data structures, campaign management APIs, or digital advertising metrics.

Benefits

• Growth without limits : build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget.
• Competitive compensation : get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews.
• Flexibility : work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm.
• Meaningful, modern projects : build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands.
• Collaborative culture : join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized.
• Well-being & support : access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location.
