Lead Engineer

This is a unique opportunity for an engineer.

You'll be building a product for you and your peers.

The client is one you use every day. Not the browser or your phone, but your code editor.

And the backend combines an API gateway to issue trackers with business logic.

This presents a very interesting set of challenges. We need your help to tackle them and grow our product now that we've found product-market fit.

Your responsibilities

Your goal is to design and implement strong technical foundations for our product.

Design

You'll work very closely with Matt, our CTO, to create a technical roadmap to pair with our product roadmap.

You'll need to optimise for both speed of delivery and product quality.

Sometimes we'll have to favour one over the other. You'll need to identify, evaluate, and communicate these trade-offs to the rest of the team.

Implementation

With technical strategy defined, you'll take the lead implementing it. You'll have to:

• Define engineering best practices

• Select tools and technologies to empower the team

• Pair-program and mentor fellow engineers

• Ensure the team consistently delivers quality

• And of course, write some code

We're looking for both a technical leader and an individual contributor. You'll need to find the right balance between these two sides of the roles.
