About the role

We are looking for a Full Stack Technical Lead to resolve production issues on a live, high-traffic hiring product. You will pair deep technical ownership across Java, Python, and React with the ability to lead and mentor engineers through ambiguity. This role blends hands-on engineering with real client impact, keeping complex systems reliable under pressure.

What you will do

  • Analyze and resolve production issues, with particular emphasis on ongoing, in-progress hiring events.
  • Partner closely with client-facing teams to triage and address incoming support tickets.
  • Drive timely issue resolution to meet established SLAs.
  • Monitor production systems and respond quickly to alerts or performance degradation ("going red").
  • Support architecture changes and system integrations that may impact hiring events.
  • Maintain and update event logic in response to changes in dependencies and upstream systems.

Must haves

  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Java/Spring Boot as the primary backend stack (Event Management Backend, Lobby Backend) — first priority.
  • Django/Python as a secondary backend stack (Event Management Backend, Lobby Backend) — second priority.
  • React for frontend development (Event Management Frontend, Lobby Frontend, IRL Frontend, Jobseeker Frontend).
  • Kafka (Event Management Backend).
  • GraphQL (Event Management Backend, Lobby Backend).
  • SQL or MongoDB (Event Management Backend, Lobby Backend).
  • Build and deployment experience.
  • Experience with at least one of the following: Dagster, Data Lakes, or Amazon Athena.
  • Senior-level engineer able to ramp up quickly and assume ownership across multiple concurrent projects.
  • High level of ownership and autonomy, including taking initiative and owning tasks—specifically merging and deploying code—without requiring hand-holding.
  • Ability to work independently and autonomously.
  • Technical leadership experience, including the ability to lead, shepherd, and onboard other engineers on the team's behalf (senior engineering experience alone is not sufficient for this Tech Lead role).
  • Demonstrated experience overseeing or coordinating the work of others.
  • Clear and concise communication.
  • Ability to manage and navigate ambiguity.
  • Prioritization and strategic thinking.
  • Ability to use data to troubleshoot production issues.
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

  • Product management experience partnering with GTM teams and engineers to support prioritization.
  • Experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

Perks

  • Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
  • Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
  • Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
  • Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
  • Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
  • Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location

FAQ

Have any questions?

What is the work format and schedule?

We are a remote-first company, so all our positions are remote. Schedules are flexible, but the main requirement is to have an overlap with your client’s schedule to ensure smooth collaboration. Specific details depend on the project and are discussed during the interview process.

What level of English is required?

We look for Upper-Intermediate (B2) proficiency or higher. Since you will be collaborating with international teams and global clients (including Fortune 500 companies), English is a part of your daily work.

Does AgileEngine provide work equipment?

It depends on your location. We provide equipment in Ukraine, Poland, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Portugal, Spain, and India. In the USA, equipment is usually provided by the client; otherwise, you will be expected to use your own setup.

What opportunities for professional growth do you offer?

We support continuous growth through personalized development paths tailored to each expert. Also, you can expect:

  • An annual learning and development budget
  • Internal workshops, tech talks, and mentorship programs
  • Opportunities to switch projects or grow into new roles over time

What does a typical team look like, and what tools do you use?

Teams vary by project, but you’ll usually work with a mix of experts across different fields, along with a delivery or project manager who supports collaboration and onboarding.

For day-to-day work, teams commonly use tools like Jira and Google Workspace, along with communication platforms such as Google Chat. Depending on the client, you may also work with Slack, Confluence, Notion, or similar tools.
