Job summary

Xsolla is seeking a Tech Lead to drive delivery and cross-team coordination for the Shop Builder DevX and AI team. You are the bridge between architecture and execution, turning technical direction into a shipping, running team.

You will lead a squad of three engineers building the developer surface that Shop Builder is missing — MCP server, CLI, SDK, documentation pipeline, local dev environment, deploy and versioning path.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, incl. 2+ years in tech lead or senior lead roles.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js, shipping APIs, CLIs, or SDKs to external developers.
• Hands-on experience building CLI tools and developer-facing workflows: command design, config, local dev loops, deploy commands, helpful errors.
• Solid understanding of REST API design principles and SDK ergonomics for a great developer experience.
• Cloud-native experience: CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and deployment automation on AWS or GCP.
• Strong communication skills and ability to coordinate across multiple teams and stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Drive the delivery of the Shop Builder developer surface: MCP server, CLI and local dev environment, public SDK, documentation pipeline, sandbox and preview environments, deploy and versioning path.
• Lead and mentor a team of three engineers—setting technical direction, running code reviews, and maintaining engineering quality.
• Own cross-team coordination: unblock inbound API capabilities from payments, auth, live ops, and catalog; manage timelines.
• Actively contribute to implementation—ship production code alongside the team on critical components.
• Translate architecture decisions into sprint-level execution plans with the Principal Engineer.
• Collaborate with the PO on roadmap sequencing and trade-offs between speed and correctness.
• Own the team’s delivery rhythm: sprint planning, grooming, retrospectives, status updates.
