Responsibilities

As Lead Engineer in the “Core” team together with Surya, you’ll be pivotal in driving the technical development of Proposales' platform. You’ll take ownership of building and implementing key features while tackling complex technical challenges. Working closely with our Head of Product, you’ll combine a deep technical understanding with a strategic approach to product development. Together, you’ll plan and prioritize tasks to ensure high-quality deliverables that meet both current and future needs.

• Enhancing and improving the architecture of the platform, with a strong emphasis on quality
• Responsible of internal and external APIs to facilitate a great developer experience
• Collaborating with Head of Product to balance customer needs with managing technical debt.
• Inspire and support the growing team to work smart and efficiently in order to drive development forward. They like starting small (with a proof-of-concept), while dreaming big. Note: Formal personnel responsibility lies with the COO, allowing you to focus fully on technology.

What Proposales Values

• Serverless, continuous delivery infrastructure hosted on Vercel, built using Next.js, and written in TypeScript
• Continuously exploring new technologies for sub-projects, focusing on long-term benefits and maintainability
• Test-driven development and pair programming, favoring high code quality over faster development times
• Adopting a functional programming style over object-oriented approaches, avoiding abstractions like middlewares or ORMs
• Monorepos with multiple smaller projects, instead of a monolithic application

A bit about you

• Proficiency with Vercel and AWS infrastructure (RDS).
• Hands-on experience with SQL databases (using Postgres), GraphQL, database optimization, and managing transactions.
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken; Swedish is a plus.
• Experience with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) is an advantage since you get to build the technical foundation of the upcoming AI-related features in the platform.

To excel in this role, you should be a curious and proactive individual who stays ahead of emerging technologies and enjoys exploring innovative techniques and approaches. You thrive in fostering a collaborative team environment where ideas flow freely, and openness is valued. Your natural problem-solving mindset helps you focus on solutions rather than challenges.

You are detail-oriented, with a knack for planning and prioritizing tasks to ensure exceptional quality in execution.
