Lead Software Engineer

About Us

FeedMe's Software Engineering team develops next-generation technologies that change lifestyles for millions of users. Our products handle transactions at a massive scale and extend well into the offline world.

We need a technical visionary who speaks Product. We are looking for a Lead Engineer who can bridge the gap between ambitious business goals and engineering reality. You won't just oversee code; you will oversee the technical direction of our products, ensuring that what we build today scales for the millions of users we'll have tomorrow.

The Role

As a Lead, you are the technical counterpart to the Product Manager. You are responsible for the How and the When, while helping shape the What. You will guide a team of talented engineers to deliver high-value features while maintaining a healthy, scalable codebase.

Your Day-to-Day:

Strategic Product Partnership:

• Feasibility & Decision Making: Partner with Product Managers during the conceptualization phase. You will assess ideas against technical constraints, cost, and complexity to ensure we commit to realistic, high-impact roadmaps.
• The Why behind the How: Translate business goals into technical execution. You empower your team to understand the business context behind every feature they build.

Team Leadership & Strategy:

• Long-Term Alignment: Continuously align your squad with the broader engineering strategy. You ensure the team balances immediate feature delivery with long-term architectural health and technical debt management.
• Team Growth: Lead, mentor, and hire engineers (Mid-level to Senior). You are responsible for code quality standards, fostering a culture of technical excellence, and helping your team members grow their careers.

Hands-On Engineering & Architecture:

• System Design: Architect highly scalable, fault-tolerant solutions that can handle massive transaction volumes.
• Stack Evolution: Guide the team through technical transitions and modernizations to ensure our stack remains performant and maintainable.
• Code: You will still be hands-on (approx. 50% capacity), setting the standard for code quality and reviewing complex PRs.

What You Bring to the Table

Leadership & Mindset:

• Experience: 7+ years in Software Engineering, with at least 2+ years leading a team or acting as a Tech Lead.
• Commercial Awareness: You understand the ROI of engineering time. You know when to build a quick MVP to validate a hypothesis and when to engineer a bulletproof scalable solution.
• Strategic Communication: You can explain complex technical risks (like technical debt or scalability limits) to non-technical stakeholders in a way that helps them make better business decisions.

Technical Skills:

• Core Stack: Deep expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript environments (NodeJS / NestJS / Vue3).
• Adaptability: We believe in using the best tool for the job. Currently, we are transitioning parts of our backend to Go (Golang) for performance. You should be open to learning/working with Go, but prior deep expertise is not mandatory—a solid engineering foundation is.
• Infrastructure: Experience with distributed computing, database design (SQL/NoSQL), and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP).

What We Have For You

• Impact: Direct influence on product roadmap and engineering culture.
• Growth: A clear path for career advancement in management or technical leadership.
• Flexibility: Hybrid work arrangement & flexible hours.
• Culture: A young, fun, and energetic team with a casual dress code.
• Compensation: Competitive salary package and benefits.
