Software Engineer, Lead

About The Role

We're hiring an Engineering Lead to grow and guide Marble's engineering team as we scale our AI-first tax platform. You'll split your time between hands-on technical work and leading a small, high-performing team — owning complex systems while helping engineers around you do their best work. You'll work closely with the CTO and founding team to shape how we build, how we hire, and how we operate as an engineering organization. This role sits at the intersection of technical leadership and people management.

What You'll Do

• Lead a team of engineers across one or more product areas — setting direction, unblocking work, and raising the bar
• Own complex, enterprise-scale technical problems end to end — from architecture decisions to production
• Partner with the CTO to define engineering processes, hiring standards, and team structure as we grow
• Drive technical decisions across the stack with a bias for pragmatism and long-term scalability
• Actively recruit, onboard, and develop engineers on your team
• Work directly with product and founders to translate business needs into technical roadmap

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of engineering experience with a track record of leading or managing high-performing teams
• Experience owning complex, enterprise-grade technical systems end to end
• Strong full-stack background with depth in TypeScript, Node.js, and React
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where the problems are not yet defined
• Low-ego, high-ownership mindset — you lead by doing, not by delegating

Tech We Use

• Frontend: React, Remix (React Router)
• Backend: TypeScript, Node.js (Fastify), Postgres, Weaviate
• Infra: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Airflow
• Observability: Grafana, OpenTelemetry

Why Join Us?

• Own the technical direction of a product solving one of the most complex, high-stakes workflows in a $500B+ industry
• Build and lead a team from the ground up alongside a CTO who values autonomy and trusts you to operate independently
• Work on genuinely unsolved problems — agentic AI applied to tax is a new frontier
• Highly competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
