This role is a high-impact engineering leadership position responsible for guiding a fully remote software engineering team and ensuring strong execution across the entire development lifecycle. You will play a key role in translating business priorities into technical delivery, driving accountability, and maintaining a consistent focus on quality, scalability, and performance. Acting as a hands-on technical leader, you will help shape architecture decisions, remove execution blockers, and ensure teams deliver reliably in a fast-paced SaaS environment. You will work closely with executive leadership to align engineering output with company goals and long-term product vision. This is a highly autonomous role requiring strong decision-making, operational discipline, and a deep understanding of modern web and cloud-based systems. The environment is collaborative yet execution-driven, with a strong emphasis on outcomes, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Accountabilities

In this role, you will lead a distributed engineering team with full ownership of delivery, performance, and technical execution across projects. You will be responsible for ensuring high-quality software outcomes while driving efficiency, accountability, and alignment with business priorities:

  • Lead and manage a remote engineering team, setting clear expectations for performance, delivery timelines, and technical standards.
  • Oversee the full software development lifecycle, ensuring high-quality code, testing, deployment, and system reliability.
  • Identify technical risks, delivery bottlenecks, and engineering debt early, and take decisive action to resolve them.
  • Provide direct technical leadership through code reviews, architecture input, and hands-on problem-solving when needed.
  • Drive continuous improvement in engineering processes by reducing friction and improving execution efficiency.
  • Partner closely with executive leadership to align engineering priorities with business goals and product strategy.
  • Ensure consistent delivery of scalable, maintainable SaaS solutions in a fast-moving remote environment.
  • Requirements

    The ideal candidate is a strong technical leader with proven experience managing engineering teams in distributed environments, combined with deep hands-on software engineering expertise. You are comfortable making tough decisions, driving accountability, and balancing speed with long-term system health:

    • 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in engineering management roles.
    • Proven success leading remote engineering teams with strong execution discipline and delivery ownership.
    • Strong technical background in modern web technologies and scalable SaaS platforms.
    • Hands-on ability to engage in architecture, code-level discussions, and technical decision-making.
    • Experience identifying and resolving engineering bottlenecks, technical debt, and delivery risks.
    • Demonstrated ability to set clear goals, measure progress, and improve team performance.
    • Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with executive leadership.
    • Nice to have: experience with Node.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, AWS, MongoDB, Redis, CI/CD tools, and LLM-based systems (prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, vector search, tool/function calling).
    • Experience hiring, coaching, and scaling high-performing engineering teams in SaaS environments.
