About the Role
We're looking for a Technical Lead (SDE III) who enjoys building products, solving difficult engineering problems, and leading through technical excellence.
This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll own critical product areas, influence architecture, mentor engineers, and help shape how modern software is built using AI.
You'll work closely with Product, Design, AI, and Business teams to build systems that serve customers globally while helping raise the engineering bar across the organization.
What You'll Own
- Design and build scalable backend services and customer-facing products.
- Own architecture and technical direction for key product initiatives.
- Lead a team of engineers through design discussions, code reviews, execution planning, and delivery.
- Mentor engineers and help them grow technically.
- Build reliable, maintainable, and high-performance systems that scale.
- Partner with Product to convert customer problems into elegant technical solutions.
- Drive engineering best practices around system design, code quality, testing, observability, and operational excellence.
- Champion AI-native engineering by leveraging modern AI tools to improve developer productivity, software quality, and delivery speed.

Hands-on Development
- Strong experience building backend services using Node.js.
- Good understanding of modern frontend frameworks such as React.
- Experience with databases including MongoDB and MySQL.
- Familiarity with technologies like Redis, Kafka/Pub-Sub, queues, caching, background jobs, and event-driven systems.
- Experience building cloud-native applications on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
AI-First Mindset
We're not looking for someone who has simply "used ChatGPT."
We're looking for engineers who understand how AI is changing software development.
You should have experience using AI-assisted development workflows, understand modern LLM capabilities, and actively explore ways AI can improve engineering productivity, software quality, and product experiences.
Bonus if you've built products powered by LLMs, AI agents, retrieval systems, or multimodal AI.
Technical Leadership
- Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical initiatives.
- Comfortable owning projects from idea to production.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across Engineering, Product, Design, and Business teams.
- Ability to simplify complex technical problems and make pragmatic engineering decisions.
What Makes Someone Successful Here
- You thrive in ambiguity.
- You care about customers as much as code.
- You move fast without compromising engineering quality.
- You naturally take ownership instead of waiting for direction.
- You enjoy mentoring others and making the team better.
- You embrace AI as a force multipliernot just for the product, but for how engineering teams build software every day.
Why Join Spyne?
- Build AI-first products used by customers across the globe.

- Competitive compensation, ESOPs, and significant ownership from day one.
- An environment where great ideas are valued over hierarchy.
