Tech Lead Engineer

Own complex, cross-functional initiatives end-to-end at the intersection of product, engineering, and business — in a domain where the data problems are genuinely hard. Cuebiq processes 5 billion GPS positions per day, turning raw mobility data into measurement products and advertising analytics, without compromising on user privacy.

This is a hands-on position with no people management. You will be the primary technical point of contact for Product and Business stakeholders, fluent across the full stack and curious enough to engage with our data engineering and platform architecture teams.

Responsibilities

• Drive technical direction across frontend and backend layers; make pragmatic decisions within your scope, engage constructively when initiatives cross boundaries
• Act as the technical POC for Product and Business — translate constraints into clear language, and business needs into precise requirements
• Own the full lifecycle of complex features: scoping, design, release, monitoring. Coordinate across engineering, QA, data, and product to keep delivery on track
• Set the quality bar through code reviews, design reviews, and engineering best practices
• Challenge assumptions, propose alternatives, make your voice heard in product discovery

Requirements

Must Have

• Frontend — strong experience with a modern component-based framework. We use React and TypeScript — you don't need to know them today, but you need the foundation to get productive fast
• Backend — solid proficiency in a strongly-typed language. Our stack is Kotlin/Spring Boot; what matters is that you think in types, understand service design, and can ramp up on our tools
• Data — comfort with relational databases. We use PostgreSQL — schema design and query thinking matter more than specific tool familiarity
• Fluent English — you will interact regularly with US-based teams
• Proven track record leading complex technical projects without formal authority

Nice to Have

• Direct experience with our stack: React, TypeScript, Kotlin, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL
• Micro-frontend patterns (we use single-spa)
• HTTP/REST and API design depth

Environment

We run a cloud-native microservices architecture on AWS and Kubernetes . Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native concepts is expected at this level.

AI-Assisted Development

We are a Claude Code shop and we use it aggressively. Vibe coding is not our culture: every line ships with intent, and all code gets reviewed.

Perks

• Remote-friendly — in-person collaboration valued, remote work fully supported. Milan office with fully-stocked kitchen and ping pong table; regular in-person team days
• Team social events — regular aperitivo sessions
• Transportation support — full coverage of public transportation subscriptions
• Professional development — dedicated time and budget for building new skills
