Engineering Team Lead, Nory

• You should be comfortable working across backend and frontend systems. We’re stack-agnostic in our hiring and care most about strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to ramp quickly. Today, our stack includes Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS (Fargate, Aurora, SQS), Postgres, MongoDB, and Docker
• Hands-on technical leadership: Significant experience building and operating production systems, with deep strength in either backend or frontend and the ability to work effectively across the stack
• Product-focused delivery experience: Proven experience working in cross-functional product squads (Engineering, Product, Design, Data), delivering high-impact work with clear commercial or customer outcomes
• Systems thinking: You’ve designed and evolved systems that stand up over time, making pragmatic trade-offs between speed, quality, and long-term maintainability
• Strong product instincts: You connect engineering work directly to customer and business outcomes, and you’re comfortable shaping scope alongside Product
• Delivery ownership: You take responsibility for your team’s focus, pace, and outcomes, removing blockers and keeping work moving
• People leadership: You enjoy coaching engineers, giving clear feedback, and helping individuals grow while building a healthy, high-performing team culture
• Clear communication: You can explain complex technical ideas simply and work effectively with non-engineering stakeholders
• If you’re excited by the problems we’re solving but don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you

• Partner closely with Product, Data, Design, and Customer teams to balance correctness, usability, and speed of delivery in a highly operational domain
