Remote Product Engineering Lead, Global Chat App

CVS Health; Santa Fe Capital; Remote; ARS 230,602,000 - 353,590,000; Full time

Job summary

Tether seeks a Product Engineering Lead for Keet, a fully peer-to-peer messaging app built on Holepunch's P2P stack. You will lead API and frontend teams, report to the CTO, and shape engineering strategy with a strong product sense.

The role blends leadership and hands-on engineering across global, remote teams. You will drive technical design, maintain high engineering standards, and collaborate with product managers to align roadmap with feasible delivery.

Qualifications

• 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. You don't need P2P protocol expertise, because our core abstracts it away.
• 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.

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 product managers to turn vision 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.
