About the role As a Technical Lead on the Growth team, you will own the fullstack architecture for our customer-facing conversion and engagement surfaces, with a primary focus on backend services, APIs, and data flows. You’ll lead 3–6 engineers through multi-month projects, balancing hands-on backend development with architectural leadership across the stack. Check out our latest Engineering Blog to learn more about why it's a great time to join Point's Engineering team! Your responsibilities Define and evolve the fullstack architecture for Growth surfaces — landing pages, onboarding flows, conversion funnels, and personalization layers — with a focus on backend services, APIs, and data flows that power these experiences. Champion a component-driven design system with modular, testable patterns that support A/B testing, feature flagging, and rapid experimentation. Drive performance optimization across the stack — backend response times, API efficiency, database query performance, and frontend delivery (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, rendering) — as a lever for conversion and engagement. Partner with Design, Product, and Marketing to scope experiments, translate requirements into scalable backend services and accessible frontend implementations, and prioritize conversion improvements. Translate technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders and use written documentation to drive alignment on architectural decisions. Remain hands-on: write and review code daily across backend (Ruby, Python) and frontend (TypeScript/React), with the majority of your time spent on backend services, APIs, and infrastructure. Provide accurate milestone estimates, monitor progress against schedules, and proactively communicate risks to stakeholders. Technical Leadership & Mentorship Mentor engineers on backend best practices, API design, database modeling, and the business context of their work. Lead backend design reviews independently and establish standards for code quality, performance, and testing coverage. About you Required Qualifications: BS/MS in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience. 7+ years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years focused on backend development. Deep proficiency in Ruby and/or Python, with strong working knowledge of TypeScript and React. Strong experience with API design, relational databases (PostgreSQL), and distributed systems. Proficiency with at least one public cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) and CI/CD pipelines. Proven track record of leading small-to-medium teams to deliver high-quality, customer-facing applications. Clear communicator comfortable presenting to both technical and business audiences. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with A/B testing frameworks and data-driven experimentation in a Growth or conversion-focused environment. Experience integrating AI/ML-powered personalization or recommendation features. Hands-on experience with analytics instrumentation (e.g., PostHog, Segment, Amplitude). Familiarity with frontend performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, SSR/ISR, bundle analysis).
