About the role

We are looking for a Software Engineering Team Lead to join our growing team and drive the deployment and evolution of our MarTech platform and solutions.

Our product is used by marketing teams in regulated industries across the world.

• Serve as a Technical Subject Matter Expert for our product, owning the technical direction and quality of solutions designed and deployed.
• Drive continuous improvement and innovation, including extended integrations with client technology and data systems beyond the immediate project scope.
• Own the ongoing reliability and effectiveness of our product.
• Contribute directly to our MarTech platform's priorities and roadmap, working with our internal engineering team on technical architecture and long-term planning so they are always aligned with the needs and vision for our client engagement.
• Mentor other engineers on the team to support their professional growth and technical development.
• Drive good engineering practices and processes, such as blameless post-mortems and automated testing, to ensure software stability and quality.

• Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm in production.
• Familiarity with domain-driven design or clean architecture patterns.
• Experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex) to build software solutions.
• Not a must, but a plus:
