Job summary

Tether seeks a Product Engineering Lead for Keet, a peer-to-peer messaging and data sharing app built on Holepunch's stack. You will lead the API and frontend teams, partnering with product to ship features at scale for a global audience.

You’ll own the engineering bar, drive architectural design, and mentor others while embracing distributed, offline-first principles. The role emphasizes fast iteration, AI-assisted prototyping, and cross-team collaboration.

Qualifications

• Experience leading engineers who ship consumer products, ideally in chat, calling, or social apps.
• Strong product sense to differentiate valuable features from busier ones.
• Intuition for distributed and local-first systems; offline-first and eventual consistency should feel natural.
• Deep JavaScript and React.
• Initiative, curiosity, resilience, and ability to give/receive direct critique.
• Bonus: experience with local-first apps, CRDTs, sync engines, offline-capable apps, or open source.

Responsibilities

• Run the API and frontend teams day to day: unblock, review, and ship.
• Set and uphold 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.
• Ensure the API team collaborates with deep tech teams on code reviews, design, and engine touches.
• Work with product managers to turn vision into implementable work.
• Push back when scope diverges from reality and propose better paths where possible.
• Bring an engineering perspective to product decisions, especially where P2P enables unique capabilities.
• Help the team move fast using AI tools and quick prototypes to validate ideas.
• Create clarity around goals and success metrics; mentor team leads to improve operating systems and leadership.
• Lead by example: roll up sleeves when needed and step back when teams can own it.
