Senior Software Engineer (Saleshandy)

Job Summary

Were hiring a Tech Lead to own a significant part of that surface, and the engineers who build it.

Experience

5-7 years

Responsibilities

• Own the architectural direction across your surfaces, and the trade-offs behind every call
• Design and ship the hardest work yourself, you stay a builder
• Run design reviews that catch races, partial failures, and everything that only breaks at volume
• Define the shared patterns your team inherits, and consolidate the ones that got built twice
• Own operability: what you ship is observable, alerted, and runnable by more than one person
• Grow the engineers on your team, and give leadership an honest, evidence-backed read on each of them
• Run interview loops and make the call on who joins
• Own a customer-facing metric, and cut the work that isnt moving it
• Use AI coding agents as a core part of the workflow, and own the quality bar that keeps their output honest

What Were Looking For

• Distributed systems experience thats real. Services that stay correct when they fail halfway and get retried. Event pipelines that dont lose or duplicate work. You can defend your choice of queue, stream, or store instead of reaching for whichever is fashionable.
• Data at volume. MySQL that holds up under genuine load, schema, indexing, and finding the query thats quietly costing you. Search and analytics at scale with OpenSearch or ClickHouse. Caching as a deliberate decision, not a reflex.
• Credibility across the stack. You review a data-heavy React surfaces state architecture as seriously as you review a service boundary. You dont need to out-build your specialists; you do need to recognise the design that will hurt in six months.
• You can run what you ship. Containerised deploys, CI/CD, and production observability. When something is intermittently timing out, you find it in traces and metrics rather than guessing.
• AI fluency with judgment. You use coding agents daily, and youve thought about what breaks when an entire team does and put something in place for it.
• A track record with people. Engineers youve led who got measurably better, and who you can talk about specifically.

Our stack

Node.js, TypeScript, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, OpenSearch, React, Docker, AWS, Grafana/Tempo/Loki.

Nice to have, not required

ClickHouse, MongoDB, Terraform. Youll pick these up here if you havent used them.
