Magento2 Tech Lead

O tym stanowisku

Who we are?
We're a fast-growing telehealth product launched in 2025, backed by an established e-commerce company with roots going back to 2012. We're focused on the US market, building a platform that connects patients with doctors for real medical care: think weight-loss treatment, prescriptions, and insurance-covered telehealth visits, all wrapped in a strict, HIPAA-conscious environment. Our user base is growing fast, and our team is remote-first across multiple countries.

Role Overview
We're bringing in a strong Tech Lead to own the toughest technical problems on the platform — deep architecture calls, complex integrations, and anything that needs more bandwidth than day-to-day delivery allows. You'll work side by side with our Team Lead, focusing on the technical side while they focus on people and delivery.

You'll combine deep hands-on Magento 2 engineering with real technical leadership — owning architecture decisions, setting the technical bar, and helping the rest of the team level up. You'll have a real say in how things get built, and a direct line into both technical and product challenges.

This is a strong fit for a senior engineer who's ready to step beyond pure execution — someone who sees the whole picture, isn't afraid of legacy code, helps people around them grow, and treats AI-assisted development tools as a normal part of the daily workflow, not a novelty.

What you'll do

• Own technical architecture and design decisions for the platform, balancing pragmatism with long-term maintainability — perfect code is not the goal; working software is

• Develop and maintain Magento 2 functionality: custom modules, API integrations, admin workflows, and performance improvements

• Work with our Python-based microservices — integrate with them, extend them when needed, and collaborate on service-level changes

• Define and enforce technical standards, code review practices, and quality bar across the team

• Conduct code reviews with practical, direct feedback focused on delivery quality, not nitpicking

• Support and mentor engineers on the team, helping them make better technical calls on their own

• Identify and resolve the complex technical problems that stall with our current setup — the ones that need more than a mid-level developer can carry alone

• Design and maintain integrations across our stack — payments (Stripe), third-party medical and marketing systems, and internal microservices — with a clear understanding of security boundaries and authorization

• Proactively flag reliability, performance, and developer-experience issues before they become incidents

• Collaborate with Product, QA, and DevOps to clarify requirements, validate solutions, and ship smoothly

• Communicate technical progress, risks, and decisions clearly to the Team Lead and stakeholders

Success in this role looks like

• The backlog of complex, senior-level tasks that used to stall stops piling up

• The team ships integrations and features with fewer security or data-handling surprises

• Engineers around you are visibly leveling up — code reviews teach, not just gatekeep

• The Team Lead has a real technical partner to think through hard problems with, not just another pair of hands

Team & culture

• The team has been together for years (some for 8-10+), even though this product itself is a young spin-off — you're joining an experienced crew, not a green startup team

• Direct, no-nonsense communication culture — disagreeing with your manager is normal and welcomed, not risky

• Scrum/Kanban hybrid workflow, mandatory code review, unit and integration tests, and some QA automation tests that run directly against production to catch real issues early

• AI tools are part of daily life here: GitHub Copilot, Gemini Pro, Claude Code, and others — used deliberately, not as a crutch

Hiring process

• Intro call with a recruiter (30 min)

• Technical interview with the Team Lead and a Senior Developer (1.5 hours)

• Final interview with the CTO (45 min - 1 hour)

• Reference check

• Offer

Benefits

• Competitive compensation based on your experience and skills

• Flexible schedule and remote work options.

• 20 working days of paid vacation per year.

• 5 paid sick days per year.

• Conferences, workshops, webinars, and training — we invest in your growth

• Exposure to a wide variety of technologies and international projects

• A team that genuinely values engineering quality, initiative, and smart use of modern AI tools

Must have:

• 7+ years of overall software development experience — we care more about real seniority than the exact number on paper, so if you're a bit under that but have clearly operated at Tech Lead level, we still want to talk

• 3+ years of hands-on Magento 2 experience — this one is a hard requirement

• Proven experience in a technical leadership role — as a Tech Lead, a Senior Engineer driving architecture decisions, or similar. A former title isn't required if you can clearly show you've operated at that level

• Strong experience with Magento 2: custom module development, API integrations, admin workflows, and performance considerations

• Solid understanding of Magento 2 architecture, extension patterns, and scalability best practices

• Strong proficiency in PHP 8+, MySQL, and JavaScript/ES6+

• Working knowledge of Python — enough to read, debug, and integrate with Python-based services

• Proven experience with third-party integrations, including payment systems (e.g. Stripe) or other business-critical services

• Experience with caching and scalability tools such as Varnish, Redis, and CDN

• Experience with cloud-based deployments and basic infrastructure concepts

• Hands-on production experience — you understand what breaks in production, how to log it, and how to prevent it, not just how to build features

• Product or service company background rather than pure outsourcing — you should have actually seen your code run in production and lived with…
