About The Role

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Full Stack Team Lead to join our growing R&D team. This is an opportunity for a strong engineer who enjoys leading people but wants to remain deeply involved in development. You will take ownership of a full stack team, contribute significantly to the codebase, and help shape the architecture and development of our AI-powered products.

Responsibilities

• Lead a full stack development team while remaining actively involved in hands-on coding and feature development.
• Take end-to-end ownership of technical solutions, from design and architecture through implementation and production.
• Build and improve AI-powered features, integrating LLMs and AI services into our products and workflows.
• Translate product requirements into scalable, reliable, and maintainable solutions.
• Make technical decisions, conduct code reviews, and maintain high engineering standards.
• Manage the team's day-to-day development activities, priorities, and delivery.
• Mentor engineers, encourage knowledge sharing, and foster a collaborative engineering culture.
• Work closely with Product, Design, and other R&D teams to deliver impactful features.
• Participate in recruitment, onboarding, and the professional development of team members.
  
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in full stack software development, with strong hands-on coding skills.
• Previous experience as a Team Lead, including mentoring engineers and leading technical delivery — a must.
• Strong experience with at least one of our backend stacks: Node.js + MongoDB or Java + MySQL.
• Experience with React and modern frontend development.
• Proven experience building and maintaining production-grade web applications, including frontend, backend, APIs, and databases.
• Practical experience developing AI-powered features, working with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, or AI-driven workflows.
• Strong software architecture and problem-solving skills, with the ability to balance speed, quality, and scalability.
• A hands-on mindset and genuine enthusiasm for writing code, not just managing development.
• Experience working in agile, fast-paced product environments.
• Excellent English communication skills, both written and spoken, are required.
  
  

Nice to have

• Experience with AI agents, RAG, structured extraction, or document-processing pipelines.
• Experience evaluating and optimizing AI systems for accuracy, latency, and cost.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS.
• Experience building B2B SaaS products.
  
  

Soft skills

• Strong ownership, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Product-oriented thinking, with a focus on delivering real value to customers.
• Ability to learn quickly, adapt to new technologies, and lead by example.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment while maintaining strong communication and collaboration with the team.
  
  

Work model and location

• Fully remote position, working with an international team across multiple countries.
• Working hours start at 8:00 AM Brasília time (BRT, UTC−3) to ensure alignment and collaboration with the team.
• Own equipment required: you will work using your own computer and home office setup, with a reliable internet connection.
