Description
Team Lead Full Stack Engineer
High-Load ML AdTech Platform | Real-Time Systems | Remote
🌍 Who we are:
Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries.
🧩 About the Product:
We build a proprietary ML-driven platform for programmatic user acquisition and retargeting in the mobile app space. It processes tens of terabytes of data daily and handles millions of real-time requests per second with low latency — directly driving client growth and revenue.
Operating at this scale requires strong distributed architecture, performance optimization, and security. Our clients are major app developers who depend on reliable, high-throughput systems and measurable ROI.
🌟 About the Role:
As a Full Stack Team Lead, you will own the design and evolution of our core real-time ad-serving infrastructure. You’ll lead a distributed team of 4 engineers, drive technical direction, and ensure performance, availability, and security at scale.
This is a hands-on role: ~50% coding and architecture, ~50% team leadership, sprint planning, and stakeholder collaboration.
You’ll work closely with the Executive, Product, Data, and Design teams to deliver scalable solutions and shape the product roadmap.
🔥 Why join this product:
Work on Real High-Load Infrastructure
Influence Architecture, Not Just Code
Stay Hands-On While Leading
ML + Distributed Systems in Production
Real Ownership & Business Impact
📈 Key Responsibilities:
Design, implement and operate large-scale, highly available, real-time (low-latency) services using Node.js, TypeScript, React, Redis and Kubernetes on AWS.
Lead and mentor a team of four distributed engineers; conduct code reviews, design reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions.
Collaborate with executives, product managers, data scientists and designers to translate requirements into technical solutions.
Design, develop and integrate RESTful APIs and third-party services.
Plan, groom and manage agile sprint cycles; track progress and adjust priorities to meet delivery goals.
Define and enforce security best practices and data protection policies across services.
Oversee on-call rotation and incident response; maintain low alert rates and rapid recovery processes.
Manage team operations including onboarding, offboarding, performance reviews and hiring support.
💻 Required Competence and Skills:
6+ years of professional experience in backend with Node.js and frontend development (React, Vue or Angular).
2+ years in a people-management or team-lead role, with direct experience conducting one-on-ones and performance reviews.
Proficiency with SQL and NoSQL databases in production environments.
Experience deploying and operating services on a major cloud platform (AWS, Google Cloud or Azure).
Deep understanding of the software development lifecycle and agile methodologies.
Strong problem-solving skills, self-sufficiency and a proactive “can-do” attitude.
Fluent English communication skills, both written and verbal.
➕ Nice to Have:
Experience coordinating with offshore development teams.
Background in web-based SaaS platforms.
Exposure to large-scale data processing or Big Data technologies.
Hands-on familiarity with Kubernetes at production scale.
🚀 Why Us:
We provide 20 days of vacation leave per calendar year (plus official national holidays of the country you are based in).
We provide full accounting and legal support in all countries where we operate.
We utilize a fully remote work model with a powerful workstation and co-working space in case you need it.
We offer a highly competitive package with yearly performance and compensation reviews.
