Tech Lead - Senior Software Engineer

About the role

Signals is YipitData's B2B spend analytics platform for private equity and growth investors. We're seeking 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.

You'll be responsible for production-grade systems that customers and internal teams depend on daily. That means being responsive, reliable, and an excellent communicator — both when things are going well and especially when they're not.

Requirements

• 6+ years of hands-on software development experience with at least 2 years in a technical leadership role — leading teams, making architecture decisions, and owning delivery
• Shipped and maintained customer-facing SaaS products — you understand what it takes to build software that real users depend on
• Strong system design instincts — you know how to architect systems, define clean interfaces, and make decisions that hold up as complexity grows
• Stack-flexible: comfortable working across Python, TypeScript/React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Databricks). You learn new tools fast and don't let unfamiliar tech slow you down
• AI-native workflow — you don't just use AI tools, you've fundamentally changed how you and your team work because of them
• Context-switching ability — you can write code, unblock a teammate, and present a technical tradeoff to a non-technical stakeholder all in the same day
• Responsive and reliable — you take ownership of production systems and communicate proactively, especially under pressure
• Lead by example — your team follows your standard because they see you hold yourself to it first
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related technical discipline

Qualifications

• Track record of shipping products that customers love — not just features that meet specs
• Experience operating in a remote environment — this role is remote-friendly and can sit in NYC, Austin, Miami, or Mountain View, or anywhere else in the US

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits, perks, and a competitive salary
• Flexible work hours, flexible vacation, a generous 401K match, parental leave, team events, wellness budget, learning reimbursement, and more
• The annual on-target earnings for this position is anticipated to be up to $200K - $230K. The final offer may be determined by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, as well as internal team benchmarks
