[Hiring] Technical Lead @MailerLite

Role Description

We're looking for a Technical Lead for our Audience Growth team. The team owns everything that helps our customers grow their audience: signup forms, landing pages and websites, subscriber imports, preference centers and social integrations. You'll lead the engineers, shape the technical direction with your product and design partners, and stay close enough to the code to build the hard parts yourself.

Why MailerLite?

• You'll own the front door of every audience.
• You'll grow, develop and evolve.
• You'll take ownership.
• You’ll have experts on hand.
• You'll pick where you work.
• You'll have stability.

What you will work on

• Lead a team of engineers.
• Work with the product manager and designer from discovery through delivery.
• Own our landing page and website builders, signup forms, subscriber imports, preference centers and opt-in flows.
• Build and maintain integrations that bring subscribers in from other platforms.
• Keep forms, imports and opt-in flows fast, reliable and resistant to abuse.
• Own your team's areas end to end in production: quality, performance, monitoring and fixing things when they break.
• Set the bar through code review, pairing and mentoring, and help engineers grow into more ownership.

Qualifications

• 6+ years building production web applications, with strong PHP and Laravel experience.
• Solid modern JavaScript, ideally Vue 3. Much of this team's work is rich, interactive UI such as builders and editors.
• Experience leading engineers technically, as a tech lead, senior engineer with lead duties, or similar.
• Experience designing and maintaining REST APIs and working with third-party APIs and OAuth.
• Good relational database skills (PostgreSQL preferred) and experience with background jobs and queues.
• A product mindset: comfortable joining customer research, challenging requirements and measuring results after launch.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Comfort working async in a remote team.
• Based in EMEA region.

Nice to have

• Building drag-and-drop editors or page builders.
• Integrations with social platforms (e.g. Meta APIs) or WordPress plugin development.
• Understanding of consent and opt-in requirements such as GDPR and double opt-in.
• Bot and abuse protection for public forms.
• Shipping AI-powered features, or using AI-assisted development tools in your daily work.

Benefits

• Yearly gross salary range: €70,000-€90,000.
