Job description

The Role

As our Tech Lead (Full Stack / Front End), you will drive our core user and AI-agent experiences. You will operate at the intersection of high-performance backend architecture and cutting-edge frontend interfaces.

We are looking for someone who takes extreme ownership. You will lead by example, push technical boundaries, architect scalable solutions, and mentor a team of engineers to execute at a world-class level.

This isn’t a standard management or ticket-taking role.

What You Bring (The Technical Bar)

• Solid fundamentals: Great Comp Science & Software Engineering Fundamentals: You peek under the hood. You enjoy algorithms, data structures and distributed systems.

• Full-Stack Mastery: High quality, self sufficient, with good taste.

  Frontend uses: React / Next.js, modern JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML/CSS.

  Backend: Scala / JVM, complex API integrations.

• AI enthusiast: aware of AI, don't just follow AI trends; you have strong, reasoned opinions on how AI should be done correctly.

• AI & Ontology Expertise: You are excited about complex and interactive (== fast!) data systems

• Technical Ownership: You know what good looks like, can explain “why”. Your personal standards are high, and you will help the team grow.

We deploy often, to the cloud and on-prem, and work in English.

Who You Are (The Cultural Fit)

• Smart adults: Solve the problem, communicate the “how’s” and “why’s”. You can’t sit idle, and want to do “the correct thing”, “now”. And have a sense of taste.

• You obsess over the user experience: You care profoundly about the end-to-end user experience: Not just for the humans clicking the buttons, but also for any AI agents that will be navigating our platform.

Why Join Us?

If you are looking for a standard, slow-paced corporate job, we are not that. But if you are an exceptional engineer who wants to do the best work of your life, build truly unique AI technology, and work in a hand-picked team of passionate, high-agency individuals, we want to talk to you.

Not a Tech Lead yet? If you are a Junior or Mid-level engineer and the intense expectations above didn't scare you, but instead fired you up to accelerate your career at one of the most elite startups in Portugal, apply anyway. Prove to us that you are an outlier. We celebrate outliers, unconventional thinkers, and neurodivergent minds who possess a relentless bias toward delivering exceptional business and engineering value.
