About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Technical Lead to own the technical direction of our platform

while staying deep in the code. You'll lead a cross-functional engineering team, partner

directly with our founders and product team on key decisions, and ship alongside your

engineers. This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of

architecture, people leadership, and execution.

What You'll Do

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers across backend, web, and mobile

• Own technical architecture and key technology decisions end-to-end, balancing

speed, scalability, and maintainability

• Work directly with founders and product to translate business goals into a technical

roadmap, scoping trade-offs and timelines

• Stay hands-on — write production code, review PRs, debug critical issues, and set

the engineering bar

• Drive engineering best practices: code quality, testing, CI/CD, observability, and

security

• Design and evolve systems on AWS for reliability and scale

• Make build-vs-buy calls, evaluate new tools, and manage technical debt

pragmatically

• Be accountable for delivery, on-call health, and production stability

Tech Stack

• Backend: Python, Django

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years building production software, with 2+ years leading or mentoring engineers

• Strong hands-on expertise in Python/Django and REST API design

• Solid experience with React and/or Flutter, and comfort across the full stack

• Deep AWS knowledge and experience running services in production

• Proven track record owning architecture decisions and system design at scale

• Experience working directly with product and founders/leadership in a fast-moving

environment

• Excellent communication - able to align technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Startup mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, bias for action, willing to wear

multiple hats

Nice to Have

• Experience scaling systems from early stage to growth

• Background in marketplaces, logistics, mobility, or consumer apps

• Exposure to data pipelines, real-time systems, or location-based services

Why FlocknGo

• Direct impact on product and technical direction from day one

• Work closely with founders and shape the engineering culture

• Equity participation

• High autonomy and ownership in a fast-growing environment
