Job description

Mar 15, 2025 - Space Inch is hiring a remote Staff Engineer/Senior Technical Lead. Salary: 4,000€ - 5,200€ per month. Location: Croatia.

General Overview

We are looking for a Staff Engineer/Senior Technical Lead to lead the charge on maintaining the highest code quality in Space Inch. Your main responsibility will be ensuring codebase quality and integrity across multiple projects with a diverse range of clients. You’ll also be the strategist/architect of how to approach these projects from a development standpoint in the first place, then taking a step back for other developers to implement that vision with your guidance.

You will be working with Space Inch teammates as well as client team members on this project. Space Inch team members partner with our client’s team to comprise a large portion of five different combined teams.

If you're an experienced Senior Full-Stack Engineer with a background in production-level applications, have a passion for coding, enjoy working on diverse projects, and want to stay deeply involved with the code while keeping up with the latest technologies, we’d love to talk!

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in full-stack development, of which at least 3 in tech leadership positions.
• Familiarity with different programming languages, but with a focus on Python, Vue.js, React and Node as those are mainstays of our tech stack; experience with .NET, mobile, Golang is a plus because these are also technologies we sometimes work with.
• Strong skills in setting up design architecture for new projects/features, along with experience in estimating and overseeing implementation.
• Full-time availability (40 hrs/week)

Key Responsibilities:

• Providing estimates and designing architectures for new projects or features.
• Reviewing plans and estimates proposed by engineers during sprint grooming.
• Conducting code reviews to ensure high-quality standards.
• Assisting engineers in overcoming technical challenges when they encounter roadblocks.
• Writing code for the projects as needed.

Qualities for Success:

• Hands-On Approach: Dive into the details by reviewing code, engaging in discussions with team members during sprint meetings, and validating plans.
• Estimate Accuracy: Assist with producing the first draft of estimates with nuance based on the discovery session. Verify that project estimates are accurate and align with the scope of work.
• Proactive Problem Solving: Identify and address challenges promptly, especially when teams or individuals encounter difficulties.
• Client Needs: Understand business needs of the clients and be able to articulate those needs to engineers.

This Role is Right for You If You Enjoy:

• Helping lead people (while still not managing them directly) through thoughtful code reviews and proactive project assistance.
• Getting hands on with different development teams tackling different problems across various programming languages.
• Collaborating closely with both team members and SI leadership (CTO, CEO, COO).

This Role is Not Right for You If:

• You do not wish to guide others in writing code.
• You wish only to provide guidance, without writing code yourself.
• You aren’t proactive in forging relationships with teammates.

Benefits

What’s in It for You:

• Having a chance to build technical and business acumen by being immersed in multiple projects with clients who have diverse backgrounds and needs.
• Taking point on project architecture, coming up with ideas on how best to tackle complex problems and then seeing through the implementation.
• Work inside a top tier investment firm on projects that will make you an attractive engineer and leader in many other contexts.
• A chance to evolve your role in Space Inch as the company and development department continue to grow.
