[Hiring] Technical Engineering Lead @Point Digital Finance, Inc.

Role Description

As a Technical Lead on the Growth team, you will own the fullstack architecture for our customer-facing conversion and engagement surfaces, with a primary focus on backend services, APIs, and data flows. You’ll lead 3–6 engineers through multi-month projects, balancing hands-on backend development with architectural leadership across the stack.

• Define and evolve the fullstack architecture for Growth surfaces — landing pages, onboarding flows, conversion funnels, and personalization layers.
• Champion a component-driven design system with modular, testable patterns that support A/B testing, feature flagging, and rapid experimentation.
• Drive performance optimization across the stack — backend response times, API efficiency, database query performance, and frontend delivery (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, rendering).
• Partner with Design, Product, and Marketing to scope experiments, translate requirements into scalable backend services and accessible frontend implementations, and prioritize conversion improvements.
• Translate technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders and use written documentation to drive alignment on architectural decisions.
• Remain hands-on: write and review code daily across backend (Ruby, Python) and frontend (TypeScript/React).
• Provide accurate milestone estimates, monitor progress against schedules, and proactively communicate risks to stakeholders.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Mentor engineers on backend best practices, API design, database modeling, and the business context of their work.
• Lead backend design reviews independently and establish standards for code quality, performance, and testing coverage.

Qualifications

• BS/MS in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years focused on backend development.
• Deep proficiency in Ruby and/or Python, with strong working knowledge of TypeScript and React.
• Strong experience with API design, relational databases (PostgreSQL), and distributed systems.
• Proficiency with at least one public cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Proven track record of leading small-to-medium teams to deliver high-quality, customer-facing applications.
• Clear communicator comfortable presenting to both technical and business audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with A/B testing frameworks and data-driven experimentation in a Growth or conversion-focused environment.
• Experience integrating AI/ML-powered personalization or recommendation features.
• Hands-on experience with analytics instrumentation (e.g., PostHog, Segment, Amplitude).
• Familiarity with frontend performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, SSR/ISR, bundle analysis).

Compensation at Point will be determined by skills, experience, and geographic location.
