Inside Reejig, we build the same future we sell. We are developing our own AI powered workforce that supports our teams and our customers.This is a place for builders who want to help define how work will operate in the AI era.Role OverviewWe are looking for a Tech Lead who understands that the most important thing they build is the engineering organization that will outlast any individual feature. As AI dramatically accelerates how much code is produced, the risk is not that we build too slowly. It is that we build too fast in the wrong directions, with inconsistent patterns, compounding architectural debt faster than we can pay it down. You prevent that. You will own system architecture, engineering standards, code quality, and the technical culture that every future engineer at Reejig inherits.What You Will DoDefine and maintain system architecture across the Reejig platformSet and enforce engineering standards, patterns, and code quality expectationsDesign the infrastructure reliability and deployment processes the company depends onBuild the AI-assisted engineering workflows that give the team a sustainable velocity advantageOwn technical decision-making across backend, frontend, and data systemsMentor engineers and create a culture of quality, ownership, and speedEvaluate and manage third-party dependencies, integrations, and technical riskContribute meaningfully to the product engineering roadmap from a technical perspectiveWhat You Need To Be EffectiveYou will thrive here if you see architecture as a product in itself, care about the engineer experience as deeply as the user experience, and hold a high bar without becoming a bottleneck.What We ValueSystems thinking across the full technical stackAbility to hold a quality bar at speed without creating process overheadGenuine investment in building engineers, not just building systemsAI fluency as a core part of how you approach engineering, not an afterthoughtOpinionated on patterns and standards, pragmatic about tradeoffsComfort in a founder-led, high-trust environment where you own outcomesStrong technical communication with non-technical stakeholdersThis environment will not suit people who treat consistency as a constraint or who architect without building.What Success Looks LikeThe codebase is coherent, consistent, and easy to extendNew engineers onboard quickly because the system is well-structuredAI-assisted development increases velocity without sacrificing qualityArchitectural decisions hold up as the product and team scaleDeployment, reliability, and observability are not constant sources of anxietyEngineers feel ownership, not just task assignmentReejig's technical foundation becomes a competitive advantage, not a liabilityStrong alignment with The Reejig CodeMinimum RequirementsTrack record of leading technical architecture at a product-led SaaS companyDeep experience across backend systems, APIs, data pipelines, and cloud infrstructureEvidence of setting and holding engineering standards in a high-velocity environmentExperience with AI-assisted development tools embedded in real engineering workflowsAbility to mentor and develop engineers at different levelsStrong opinions on code quality, testing, and deployment practices, with the pragmatism to apply them wellComfortable communicating technical decisions to founders and non-technical stakeholdersExperience in startup or early-stage environments where you built culture, not just systemsWhy This MattersReejig is at a point of real inflection.
