Tech Lead / Architect

San Juan, United States

 Apexive is a rapid software development studio that creates top-notch technology for startups and scaleups. We've embraced a remote-first approach from the beginning, and our teams are intentionally small and agile, ranging from 2-5 people. As a boutique firm, we ensure that every team member plays a pivotal role in shaping the company’s direction, never feeling like just another cog in the machine.

Our commitment to our clients is simple yet profound: delivering flawless code in record time. While we pride ourselves on being technology agnostic, selecting the best tools for each unique challenge, we strongly follow the DRY principle and strive for clean, maintainable code.

We are searching for a Tech Lead to be the engineering leader of our backend team. This role requires a combination of strong technical and leadership capabilities. You’ll be responsible for managing an engineering team (1-2 people ), owning the software architecture and infrastructure, engaging with the business to understand the product needs, and overseeing the technical direction and delivery.
