About the Company:
We are an innovative technology company focused on developing solutions that support our tech-for-good mission. Our platform helps businesses make smarter decisions and drive better performance across their digital activities. With recent investment, we are scaling rapidly and expanding our customer base. Operating as a remote-first organization, we foster a flexible, global work culture, allowing team members to work across different time zones.

Engineering at the Company:
Our engineering team is committed to understanding and evolving the full technical ecosystem. We emphasize collaboration, cross-functional teamwork, and high productivity to help us reach our goals efficiently.

About the Role:
We are looking for a Lead Engineer to join our platform team. As an individual contributor, you will be responsible for shaping the technical vision and strategy for our core API and real-time systems. In addition to technical leadership—such as defining specifications, managing tasks, ensuring timely delivery, and monitoring performance—you will also lead a small team of senior engineers (2-3 members), mentoring them in their professional growth.

Tech Stack & Architecture:

  • API for Data Management: Our system is designed to handle large volumes of data traffic using Go, paired with an in-memory database to optimize data access speeds. This API is a central component for both batch and real-time processing, and you will be crucial in evolving its design.
  • Real-Time Data Systems: Our platform handles millions of queries per second globally, with a focus on maintaining extremely low latency. The system operates on dedicated servers near client infrastructures, and we continually optimize caching and architectural strategies to scale effectively.
What We’re Looking For:
  • 8+ years of experience building high-performance, low-latency, and high-throughput systems
  • 2+ years of experience managing people, with at least 4 years of technical leadership experience
  • Strong expertise in Go (Golang)
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes
  • Proven track record of solving complex problems in large-scale distributed systems
Our Culture:
  • We are committed to using technology for positive change and driving forward impactful innovation.
  • Clear, empathetic communication is at the heart of our remote-first environment, and we prioritize transparency and understanding across teams.
  • We focus on constructive discussions, finding solutions to challenges and resolving conflicts efficiently.
  • Accountability is key—we strive for excellence, delivering on our commitments and maintaining high standards.
  • Our mission is to drive forward systemic change and innovation, creating meaningful and lasting impacts across industries.
