About the role

  • Lead and mentor a compact team of backend engineers, fostering ownership, technical excellence, and collaborative growth.
  • Drive the architecture, design, and delivery of high-scale core services in a multi-tenant SaaS environment.
  • Champion best practices in distributed systems, observability, orchestration, and agile delivery (Scrum experience a plus).
  • Take full ownership of key platform components, from roadmap decisions to production reliability.
  • Bridge technical execution with business impact, collaborating cross-functionally to solve real-world scalability challenges.

Requirements

  • 2+ years leading an engineering team, with proven success in driving technical standards, mentoring engineers, and accelerating professional growth.
  • 5+ years of hands-on backend (or full-stack) development, with deep expertise in Node.js for building scalable services.
  • Strong practical experience in AWS ecosystems, including Kubernetes for orchestration, MongoDB for data persistence, and RabbitMQ for messaging/reliable queues.
  • Solid understanding of the challenges of distributed systems in multi-tenant SaaS.
  • Track record of full ownership on complex services: architecture design → implementation → scaling in production.
  • Experience as a technical focal point/mentor, promoting Agile (Scrum/Kanban) and a high-accountability culture.
  • Excellent communication to align engineering with business priorities.
Benefits
  • Enjoy the best of both worlds: Hands-on coding + leadership, no forced shift to management-only; stay technical while growing as a leader.
  • Work in a modern, distributed SaaS environment with cutting-edge cloud tech (AWS/K8s-heavy stack) and a passionate team obsessed with engineering excellence.
  • Thrive in a growth-oriented culture that invests in long-term development; we value learning, teamwork, and helping people evolve.
  • Own systems that are foundational to Sisense’s platform stability, global scale, and AI-driven analytics innovation.
