Job summary

Tether in a fully remote world leads Keet, our flagship peer-to-peer messaging app. As Product Engineering Lead, you will guide the API and frontend teams, shape technical strategy, and partner with product to translate visions into scalable features for billions of users.

You report to the CTO, own the engineering bar, and drive distributed systems, offline-first design, and secure data sharing. The role blends leadership with hands-on coding, mentoring, and close collaboration with deep tech

Qualifications

• Experience managing engineers or engineering leads who ship consumer products.
• Strong product sense to distinguish a good feature from a busy one.
• Intuition for distributed and local-first systems.
• Deep JavaScript and React expertise.
• 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.

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 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.
• Experience managing engineers or engineering leads who ship consumer product, ideally in chat, calling, or social apps.
