About Caravelo

We are a fast-growing B2B SaaS company serving enterprise customers. As part of our commitment to seamless customer onboarding and implementation, we have built a Professional Services Engineering Team within our Customer Ops unit. This team ensures that clients transition smoothly from contract signing to go-live, handling custom integrations, migrations, and technical onboarding.

We’re looking for a hands-on Team Lead Engineer to lead and mentor a multidisciplinary engineering team while actively contributing to key technical initiatives. This role is perfect for someone with a consultancy or project-driven background, who enjoys managing teams (3-7 engineers) while still being actively involved in the development and implementation of scalable solutions.

Duties and responsibilities

Lead and mentor a cross-functional engineering team (3-5 developers), ensuring technical excellence and professional growth.
Actively contribute to development tasks, whether it’s backend services, integrations, or system architecture improvements.
Oversee and implement custom API integrations, automation workflows, and data migration pipelines for client onboarding.
Collaborate closely with frontend and backend developers, project managers, and stakeholders to deliver seamless technical solutions.
Support and improve development processes, aligning best practices across the team.
Troubleshoot technical challenges during implementation and go-live phases.
Provide technical vision and architectural direction, ensuring scalability and efficiency.
Occasionally interact with enterprise clients to align on technical requirements and solutions.

Required skills and experience

5+ years of experience in software development with a solid understanding of backend, frontend, and system integrations.
Background in consulting, system integration, or project-based development.
Experience leading teams (3-7 engineers) in an Agile/Scrum environment.
Proficiency in modern programming languages and frameworks (e.g., Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue.js, or similar).
Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, authentication (OAuth, SAML), and database management (SQL & NoSQL).
Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to mentor and drive technical decisions.
Problem-solving mindset with a hands-on approach to challenges.
Willingness to travel occasionally for go-live support.

Nice to have: Cloud experience (GCP, AWS), DevOps knowledge, or experience working with Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines.
