  • Manage technical vendors, engineering partners, and third-party platforms
  • Drive complex, cross-functional projects from scope through delivery
  • Implement strong security, observability, and scalability practices

What’s needed?

  • 6–10 years of engineering experience, ideally in high-growth or startup environments
  • Proficiency in Python, PHP, API design, and modern backend frameworks
  • Hands-on AWS experience (EC2, RDS/Aurora, ECS/Fargate, S3, networking)
  • Strong MySQL knowledge including schema design, data modeling, and query optimization
  • Experience with mobile technologies (iOS, Android, or React Native)
  • Excellent communication skills, with an ability to translate technical concepts to non-technical partners
  • Vendor management experience
  • Strong project management and prioritization abilities
  • A problem-solving mindset with a bias toward ownership and continuous improvement

What’s in it for me?

  • Competitive salary
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Hybrid schedule (three days onsite in Chicago)
  • Ability to influence and build the next stage of the company’s technology environment
