About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Lead with strong AWS expertise to join our team and take ownership of the technical direction and day-to-day leadership of a development project.
You will work closely with both management and the engineering team to deliver high-quality, scalable, and cloud-native SaaS solutions.

This is a hands-on leadership role — ideal for someone who enjoys both writing code and guiding a team toward technical excellence.

Responsibilities

• Lead the technical implementation of a multi-tenant SaaS platform hosted on AWS.
• Design, develop, and maintain scalable, cloud-based applications using React (frontend) and Python (backend).
• Architect and optimize infrastructure leveraging AWS services (EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, ECS/EKS, CloudFormation, etc.).
• Provide mentorship, code reviews, and technical guidance to engineers.
• Collaborate with product and management teams to plan and deliver milestones on time.
• Define and enforce best practices for code quality, testing, CI/CD, and documentation.
• Oversee architecture decisions ensuring system reliability, performance, and scalability.
• Coordinate cross-functional collaboration between backend, frontend, and DevOps teams.
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies and propose improvements to the tech stack.

Requirements

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in software development.
• 1+ year of proven experience in a Technical Lead or similar leadership role.
• Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, Python, and related frameworks.
• Proven experience designing and implementing multi-tenant SaaS applications.
• Solid understanding of AWS cloud architecture (compute, storage, networking, and security).
• Experience with microservices, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Excellent communication skills in English (C1 or higher).
• Ability to work effectively in a remote, cross-functional, and fast-paced environment aligned with the US/AZ time zone.

Nice to Have

• Experience with event-driven architecture (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Background in CI/CD pipeline setup and DevOps practices.
• Knowledge of relational and non-relational databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
• Familiarity with API security, authentication (OAuth, SSO), and monitoring tools.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies.
