Tl;dr: Full-time tech leadership engineering role. Define the technical vision + stack for Spoke, and build an engineering team. Hub in Berlin but remote also possible. Competitive salary + stock options.
🏢 We are Spoke
Work is broken. There’s more noise, more Zoom, more duplicate work. Employees and managers alike have less visibility than ever. People are spending 60% of their time on work coordination.
Spoke fixes work. It’s not a painkiller or a vitamin. It’s a cure. Spoke integrates directly into the places that people work and utilizes AI to smartly summarize and share information, giving teams their time back. Endless updates, tedious stakeholder reporting, and constant alignment meetings are a thing of the past.
We are looking for a Tech Lead to join the team and work with us to define the technical vision for Spoke and bring the product to life.
We believe that you should own a part of what you build and so offer a competitive salary and stock options. We have an office in Berlin but support remote work anywhere in a ±3 hour time difference, and already have team members in the Netherlands, Bulgaria and the UK.
🚀 About the role
All outstanding products require great technical vision and leadership. Your role spans three areas to make this happen:
- Architecture & Technical Vision – Map out the architecture for early versions of Spoke and plan how this can scale to handle large quantities of data in smart way. Plan a secure, fast and seamlessly integrated system and define the stack to support this.
- Implementation & Iteration – Take the Spoke MVP and build upon it, bringing the V1 and beyond to market, with clean code, delivered pragmatically. Coordinate and delegate work across the small, agile team, whilst playing a key role in the building yourself.
- Building a Team & Engineering Culture – Define key roles and build the tech team in your vision. Create an outstanding engineering culture where people are focused on solving challenging problems in a team-oriented way.
