Job summary

Tether seeks a Product Engineering Lead for Keet, a 100% remote, worldwide team. You will guide the API and frontend teams, shaping features with strong engineering standards and a distributed, local-first mindset.

You report to the CTO and align with product on a shared vision, owning the how and engineering bar. Expect 70% leadership, 30% product collaboration, and a focus on scalable, private data sharing at global scale.

Qualifications

• Experience leading teams shipping consumer apps at speed.
• Strong product sense and ability to partner with PMs as an equal.
• Intuition for distributed, local-first systems; work on P2P engines without building them.
• Deep JavaScript and React expertise.
• Initiative, curiosity, resilience, and ability to give/receive direct critique.
• Bonus: experience with local-first apps, CRDTs or sync engines, offline‑capable apps.

Responsibilities

• 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 deep tech teams on code reviews, design, and anything that touches the engine.
• Work alongside 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.
• Create clarity around team goals and define what success looks like.
• Mentor team leads to build strong operating systems, improve collaboration, and grow as leaders.
• Lead by example: roll up your sleeves when needed and step back when they are ready to own it.
