Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. YipitData is a market research and analytics firm that uses proprietary technology to analyze alternative data and deliver strategic intelligence. The Tech Lead will own the technical direction of the Signals B2B spend analytics platform, lead a high-output engineering and QA team, make architecture decisions, write code, and ensure product quality, reliability, and velocity.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical direction of the Signals platform — architecture, system design, tech debt strategy, and engineering standards
- Lead a team of engineers and QA — set priorities, unblock work, conduct code reviews, and drive execution
- Stay hands-on: you're writing code, shipping features, and debugging production issues alongside your team
- Work directly with product, data, revenue, and customers to translate business problems into a technical roadmap
- Make the calls on build vs. buy, tradeoffs between speed and quality, and when to invest in infrastructure vs. features
- Own production reliability — you're the first person who cares when something breaks, and you drive the team to fix it fast and prevent it from happening again
- Raise the bar for the engineering team through mentorship, tooling improvements, and establishing best practices
- Use AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a daily force multiplier for yourself and your team — and push the team to adopt AI-native workflows that accelerate output
Skills
- You have 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
- You have shipped and maintained customer-facing SaaS products — you understand what it takes to build software that real users depend on
- You have strong system design instincts — you know how to architect systems, define clean interfaces, and make decisions that hold up as complexity grows
- You are 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
- You have an AI-native workflow — you don't just use AI tools, you've fundamentally changed how you and your team work because of them
- You can context-switch between writing code, unblocking a teammate, and presenting a technical tradeoff to a non-technical stakeholder — all in the same day
- You are responsive and reliable — you take ownership of production systems and communicate proactively, especially under pressure
- You lead by example — your team follows your standard because they see you hold yourself to it first
- You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related technical discipline
- This is a remote-friendly opportunity that can sit in NYC (where our headquarters are located), one of our office hubs (Austin, Miami, or Mountain View), or anywhere else in the US. However, depending upon where the remote work is performed, income could be subject to New York State tax withholding
- This role may be performed fully remotely within the United States
- Please note that for this position, we are not able to consider candidates who currently or in the future will require visa sponsorship
