Tech Lead - Senior Software Engineer

Signals is YipitData's B2B spend analytics platform for private equity and growth investors — helping them track software adoption, revenue, retention, switching, and competitive dynamics across thousands of companies. We're looking for a Tech Lead to own the technical direction of the Signals engineering team and drive the next phase of the product forward. This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set the technical vision, make architecture decisions, and write code — while also unblocking your team, raising the engineering bar, and working directly with product, data, and revenue stakeholders to shape what gets built. You'll lead a small, high-output team of engineers and QA, and be the person accountable for the quality, reliability, and velocity of everything the Signals team ships. This is a remote-friendly opportunity that can sit in NYC, one of our office hubs (Austin, Miami, or Mountain View), or anywhere else in the US.

Responsibilities

Own the technical direction of the Signals platform — architecture, system design, tech debt strategy, and engineering standards; lead a team of engineers and QA — set priorities, unblock work, conduct code reviews, and drive execution; stay hands-on — write code, ship features, and debug production issues; work directly with product, data, revenue, and customers to translate business problems into a technical roadmap; make calls on build vs. buy, tradeoffs between speed and quality, and when to invest in infrastructure vs. features; own production reliability; raise the bar for the engineering team through mentorship, tooling improvements, and establishing best practices; use AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a daily force multiplier and push the team to adopt AI-native workflows

Requirements

6+ years of hands-on software development experience; at least 2 years in a technical leadership role leading teams, making architecture decisions, and owning delivery; shipped and maintained customer-facing SaaS products; strong system design instincts; stack-flexible across Python, TypeScript/React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Databricks); AI-native workflow; ability to context-switch between writing code, unblocking teammates, and presenting technical tradeoffs; responsive and reliable; leads by example; Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or related technical discipline; no visa sponsorship available

Benefits

Flexible work hours; flexible vacation; generous 401K match; parental leave; team events; wellness budget; learning reimbursement
