About the role

Signals is YipitData's B2B spend analytics platform for private equity and growth investors — helping them track software adoption, revenue, retention, switching, and competitive dynamics across thousands of companies. We're looking for a Tech Lead to own the technical direction of the Signals engineering team and drive the next phase of the product forward.

What they're looking for

  • You have 6+ years of hands-on software development experience with at least 2 years in a technical leadership role — leading teams, making architecture decisions, and owning delivery
  • You have shipped and maintained customer-facing SaaS products — you understand what it takes to build software that real users depend on
  • You have strong system design instincts — you know how to architect systems, define clean interfaces, and make decisions that hold up as complexity grows
  • You are stack-flexible: comfortable working across Python, TypeScript/React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Databricks). You learn new tools fast and don't let unfamiliar tech slow you down
  • You have an AI-native workflow — you don't just use AI tools, you've fundamentally changed how you and your team work because of them
  • You can context-switch between writing code, unblocking a teammate, and presenting a technical tradeoff to a non-technical stakeholder — all in the same day
