As a Senior Software Engineer - Growth Team Lead, you will own the design, delivery, and operation of critical systems within a platform-wide growth engine.
You will work across attribution, retention, dynamic bonuses, and affiliate tooling to build scalable solutions that support growth at international scale.
The role goes beyond individual feature development, giving you ownership of complex projects where architecture and execution require strong technical judgment.
You will shape engineering standards, improve reliability, and create systems designed to evolve with future business needs.
As a technical leader, you will mentor engineers, influence product and design decisions, and help teams navigate ambiguity effectively.
You will also translate technical risks into clear business implications and ensure stakeholders understand trade-offs early.
This is an opportunity to combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership in a high-volume, rapidly evolving technology environment.

Own the architecture, design, delivery, and production operation of systems within the Growth domain.
Break down large and ambiguous initiatives into parallel workstreams, identifying complex technical challenges and dependencies early.
Create design documents and architecture decision records that provide durable technical direction and anticipate future changes.
Establish high engineering standards by improving code clarity, refactoring where appropriate, and introducing reusable abstractions that provide meaningful value.
Design effective testing strategies for owned systems and improve CI reliability to enable confident and consistent delivery.
Lead incident investigations and create blameless postmortems with actionable improvements that reduce the likelihood of recurring issues.
Mentor engineers through structured guidance, technical discussions, and code reviews focused on both quality and professional development.
Partner closely with Product and Design to identify cost-effective solutions to user problems and challenge scope when data supports an alternative approach.
Communicate technical risks and trade-offs in terms of business impact, providing stakeholders with clear options and escalating potential issues early.
Contribute to platform-wide growth capabilities including attribution, retention, dynamic bonusing, and affiliate tooling.
