Software Engineering Team Lead

We’re seeking a high-impact Hands-On Engineering Team Lead to own and lead our Fabric Team - the beating heart of Sisense’s platform. This small, elite team builds and maintains the critical communication layers and core backend services that ensure performance, scalability, and rock-solid reliability for our entire AI-powered embedded analytics platform, serving thousands of global users. You’ll lead by doing, staying deeply technical while guiding a talented group of backend engineers to deliver mission-critical systems. If you thrive on technical challenges, love owning complex distributed services from design to production scale, and want to mentor while keeping your hands in the code, this is your opportunity to shape foundational infrastructure at a leader in embedded analytics. What You’ll Do Lead and mentor a compact team of backend engineers, fostering ownership, technical excellence, and collaborative growth. Drive the architecture, design, and delivery of high-scale core services in a multi-tenant SaaS environment. Champion best practices in distributed systems, observability, orchestration, and agile delivery (Scrum experience a plus). Take full ownership of key platform components, from roadmap decisions to production reliability. Bridge technical execution with business impact, collaborating cross-functionally to solve real-world scalability challenges. What We’re Looking For 2+ years leading an engineering team, with proven success in driving technical standards, mentoring engineers, and accelerating professional growth. 5+ years of hands-on backend (or full-stack) development, with deep expertise in Node.js for building scalable services. Strong practical experience in AWS ecosystems, including Kubernetes for orchestration, MongoDB for data persistence, and RabbitMQ for messaging/reliable queues. Solid understanding of the challenges of distributed systems in multi-tenant SaaS. Track record of full ownership on complex services: architecture design → implementation → scaling in production. Experience as a technical focal point/mentor, promoting Agile (Scrum/Kanban) and a high-accountability culture. Excellent communication to align engineering with business priorities. Why Join Sisense? Own systems that are foundational to Sisense’s platform stability, global scale, and AI-driven analytics innovation. Enjoy the best of both worlds: Hands-on coding + leadership, no forced shift to management-only; stay technical while growing as a leader. Work in a modern, distributed SaaS environment with cutting-edge cloud tech (AWS/K8s-heavy stack) and a passionate team obsessed with engineering excellence. Thrive in a growth-oriented culture that invests in long-term development; we value learning, teamwork, and helping people evolve. If you're a motivated leader who wants real impact without sacrificing your technical edge, and you're excited to build the core that powers embedded insights worldwide, apply now!
