Tether.Io; Santa Fe Capital; A distancia; ARS 230.602.000 - 307.470.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Tether is seeking a Product Engineering Lead to drive Keet, our peer‑to‑peer messaging app, at global scale. You’ll coach API and frontend teams, shape engineering strategy, and partner with product to deliver features that users love.

Reporting to the CTO, you’ll own the how and set a high engineering bar, balancing speed with reliability, while fostering distributed, local‑first architectures and end‑to‑end ownership of the product stack.

Formación

• Experience managing engineers or engineering leads who ship consumer product, ideally in chat, calling, or social apps.
• Strong product sense: you can tell a good feature from a busy one.
• Intuition for distributed and local-first systems. Offline‑first and eventual consistency should feel natural.
• 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.

Responsabilidades

• 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.
