Tech Lead
We're looking for a Tech Lead. You'll report to Martijn Moret, CTO of Mavic AI, and work closely with him to turn product requirements into features in our live app.
What you'll do
- Lead the build and delivery of product features in our live app, working with the CTO to turn requirements into shipped code
- Write and review production code in TypeScript, React and MongoDB, and set the engineering standards for the team
- Integrate LLM and AI model APIs (OpenAI, LangChain, HuggingFace and others) into user-facing features
- Design data models and services that hold up as the product scales, and know when async beats sync
- Debug production issues to the root cause, not the band-aid fix
- Mentor engineers and review their code
- Collaborate with product to ship AI features end-to-end
- Document code and decisions for future reference
What you need
- 4 years of relevant full-time experience in which you’ve shipped production-grade applications with TypeScript, React Web, and MongoDB
- Prior work with LLM models or AI-APIs (OpenAI, LangChain, HuggingFace, etc.)
- You understand microservices, event-driven architectures, or GraphQL
- You have experiences with data structures and persistence models, can normalize when needed, and know when async beats sync (and when it doesn’t).
- You’re skilled in AI-assisted coding and use it as an accelerator, not a way to push the hard work into the debugging phase.
- You’re battle-tested at debugging: logs, stack traces, “why the hell isn’t this working?”—you get to the root cause, not the band-aid fix.
- You think in systems —you understand how backend choices ripple into frontend experiences (and vice versa).
- You must be proficient in English communication (speaking and writing).
Bonus Points
- Experience working with a distributed, remote-first team across time zones.
- End to end DevOps know-how with MERN and GCP
- An eye for UI/UX design details – you don't just make things work, you care about how they look
- Proficient with technical documentation that can be implemented (AI-written docs that never hit production don't count)
- You've worked in an AI tech startup
Culture
We ship, we don't ship excuses. Every release goes to real businesses trying to grow so mediocre work is simply not good enough. We're unapologetically ambitious, we're recruiting people who want to be at the top of a field that's still being invented, and who see that as a reason to join, not a risk.
