Tether; Buenos Aires; À distance; ARS 272 860 000 - 363 813 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Tether is seeking a Product Engineering Lead to guide Keet's API and frontend teams, shaping features for a global scale consumer app built on a distributed, local-first architecture. You will partner with product management to translate roadmaps into buildable work, while mentoring engineers and maintaining a high engineering bar.

You will collaborate with deep tech teams, drive architectural decisions, and champion rapid prototyping with AI tools to validate ideas before committing.

Qualifications

• Experience managing engineers or engineering leads who ship consumer products.
• Strong product sense: you can tell a good feature from a busy one.
• Intuition for distributed and local-first systems.
• Deep JavaScript and React.
• Initiative, curiosity, resilience, and the ability to give and receive direct critique.
• Bonus: experience with local-first apps, CRDTs or sync engines, offline-capable mobile or desktop apps, or open source.

Responsabilités

• Run the API and frontend teams day to day: unblocking, reviewing, and keeping them shipping.
• Set and hold a high engineering bar for performance, reliability, and clean APIs.
• Own the technical design of features and the API surface between Keet's core and the app.
• Make sure the API team works closely with our deep tech teams on code reviews, design, and anything that touches the engine.
• Work alongside Keet's product managers to turn vision and roadmap into scoped, buildable work.
• Push back when scope and reality don't match, and propose better paths when they exist.
• Bring an engineering perspective to product decisions, especially where P2P opens doors that centralized apps can't.
• Help the team move fast, using AI tools and quick prototypes to validate ideas before committing to them.
• Create clarity around team goals and make sure everyone knows what success looks like.
• Mentor team leads to build strong team operating systems, improve how their teams work with others, and grow as leaders.
• Lead by example: roll up your sleeves when the team needs it, and step back when they're ready to own it.
