We’re hiring a Tech Lead to join our team. You will be collaborating directly to our CTO, Charles, to shape both the team and platform while we get ready for scale. Together with other members of our Tech Lead Community, you will ensure engineering excellence for our team of 14 engineers.
TheyDo is a fully remote SaaS B2B organisation, pioneering a brand new category in software: Customer Journey Management. In December, we announced our ‘Series A’ funding round at €12M. Our angel investors include executives from Intercom, Miro, Remote, Amplitude, and more. We serve enterprise customers like Google, IBM, Cisco, Atlassian, and Adidas.
We’re a small but mighty team, and in 2023 we will triple our headcount. We love TypeScript and use typed NodeJS codebases with GraphQL, Apollo, AWS, ECS, Postgres, Redis, ElasticSearch, Temporal, websockets, microservices, and an event-driven architecture.
What you will do
You like to get things right, a pragmatic perfectionist who will continuously shape our application architecture and make it ready to scale. You understand the right balance between code readability, simplicity, development speed, performance, and maintainability.
Your top priority is shaping the architecture of our product and getting it ready for scale. You'll work on some of the technically ambitious projects we have planned. The areas where you’ll make an impact include:
Tackling our most technical problems and help prioritise and steer architecture decisions
Developing in-depth expertise and ownership in several domains of our application and infrastructure
Ensuring engineering excellence for our team, by upholding coding standards, defining operational processes
Creating and approving technical design documents defining our platform's architecture and reviewing code
Recognising a good solution when you see one, and explaining its merits to other stakeholders, including engineers, managers or customers
Taking an active role in hiring for our engineering team, setting a high bar and knowing what ‘great’ looks like
Realizing integrations with a wide ecosystem - Miro, Figma, Google Analytics, Salesforce, BigQuery, Snowflake, etc. - and managing the scale that comes with that
Work on the AI features that will redefine how our customers manage and uncover insights in their data
Transitioning our modular monolith into the first microservices
Making retrieval of our data graph performant by optimising queries and introducing caching
What you won't do
What we’re looking for
An engineer who knows what it means to scale and maintain a fast-growing platform, has experience in effective continuous deployment and realising a great developer experience
An engineer who enjoys working in a TypeScript-based codebase and who writes well-structured and maintainable code

An engineer who wants to be at the foundation of a fast-growing team and knows how to balance quality with velocity
A product-minded engineer that wants to understand how people use our product and why
An asynchronous worker who organises and documents their work
