We're looking for a top performing Tech Lead to help scale our product and team
This role is about more than just writing great code, you'll make key technical decisions, tackle complex problems, and mentor engineers while ensuring we deliver a top-notch developer experience
Design, build, and deploy high-quality backend code in a fast-paced environment
Develop and scale new products and new product features while ensuring stability and performance
Own technical challenges, making decisions that balance speed, reliability, and maintainability

Our take

Webhooks - the inverse of standard APIs - enable servers to send data to clients based on specified triggers, and are vital for the functionality of modern apps. Sviz supplies Webhooks-as-a-Service for all scales of business, enabling them to transform their software products into critical, real-time data infrastructure.

As webhooks become increasingly popular and are regarded as more and more important, Svix is positioned well to serve what will undoubtedly be an increase in demand in the future. The company has good funding at its back as it continues to expand its teams across the business, as well as its market availability.
