The company has a team of more than 170 people and is seeking a Technical Lead for its Audience Growth team, which owns everything that helps customers grow their audience—including signup forms, landing pages and websites, subscriber imports, preference centers, and social integrations. The role involves leading engineers, shaping technical direction alongside product and design partners, and staying close enough to the code to build the hard parts yourself.
Responsibilities

- Shape the technical direction with product and design partners

- Own our landing page and website builders, signup forms, subscriber imports, preference centers and opt-in flows
- Build and maintain integrations that bring subscribers in from other platforms
- Keep forms, imports and opt-in flows fast, reliable and resistant to abuse
- Set the bar through code review, pairing and mentoring, and help engineers grow into more ownership
Requirements
- 6+ years building production web applications, with strong PHP and Laravel experience
- Solid modern JavaScript, ideally Vue 3
- Experience leading engineers technically, as a tech lead, senior engineer with lead duties, or similar
- Experience designing and maintaining REST APIs and working with third-party APIs and OAuth
- Good relational database skills (PostgreSQL preferred) and experience with background jobs and queues
- A product mindset: comfortable joining customer research, challenging requirements and measuring results after launch
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Comfort working async in a remote team
- 5h overlap with CET time zone
Nice to have
- Building drag-and-drop editors or page builders
- Integrations with social platforms (e.g. Meta APIs) or WordPress plugin development
- Understanding of consent and opt-in requirements such as GDPR and double opt-in
- Bot and abuse protection for public forms
- Shipping AI-powered features, or using AI-assisted development tools in your daily work
Benefits
- Yearly gross salary range: €70,000-€90,000
- Remote-first culture with the team working remotely from all over the world
- International health insurance provided with coverage in most countries. Monthly healthcare payout available in select countries where coverage is limited
- Company-paid retreats: once per year the team gathers for a week in an exotic location to work, learn and have fun together
- 31 days of vacation per year
- 12 paid sick days for your physical and mental well-being, no doctor's note required. Parents can use them to care for their sick children
- 4 creative days: one paid day off per quarter to do something creative and fun
- 12 parental days per year: one paid day off each month to treasure time with your children
- Parental leave with paid bonding time at 100% of salary—3 months for primary caregivers and 1 month for secondary caregivers when welcoming a new child through birth or adoption
- Joy Budget: annual allowance to spend on what brings you joy, starting at $1,000 per year and increasing over time
- MacBook and other tools that'll help you to do your job efficiently
