We bring creation, collaboration, and control together in one connected platform, combining AI-enabled creation, no-code production, embedded governance, and seamless integrations across the marketing tech stack. The result: faster output, lower costs, reduced risk, and work that stays consistently on brand.\nAt Stensul, we’re just as intentional about how we work as about what we build. We’re a people-first team that values inclusive collaboration, ownership, and continuous learning. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to help define the future of marketing creation, we’d love to meet you.\nWhy This Role Matters\nWe're looking for a Technical Lead to own the technical direction of our email builder team: where enterprise marketers assemble campaign emails and check them against brand, legal, and rendering standards before the email ever goes out for review. Get it right here and the review cycle is short. Get it wrong and the whole campaign stalls in rework. It is Stensul's original product surface and its most heavily used, so anything that breaks here is felt by customers immediately. You would join a long-lived, cross-functional team where Engineering, Product, and Design work together on the same domain, owning it from idea through production and into long-term maintenance. Nobody hands the team a spec and nobody hands the team's output to someone else to run. You would own technical direction as an individual contributor, partnering with the Engineering Manager who owns people, capacity, and delivery. You'll navigate the tension between technical sustainability and business urgency, making architectural decisions that compound over time in a B2B platform serving large, heavily regulated, demanding organizations. If you care as much about how a team works as about what it builds, and you'd rather model good practices than mandate them, this is the kind of role where you'll thrive.\nWhat makes this problem interesting\nEmail is one of the last genuinely hostile target environments in software. There is no single rendering standard, the clients that matter most disagree with each other, and the people producing the output are marketers, not engineers. Our job is to let someone with no technical background assemble something complex and have it come out correct every time, in every inbox.\nThen add the harder constraint: many of our customers are large financial institutions. For them, \"on brand\" is not a preference and \"approved\" is not a formality. A campaign that goes out with the wrong disclosure is a regulatory problem, not a design problem. So the guardrails cannot be a review step at the end. They have to be built into the creation experience itself, tight enough to guarantee compliance and flexible enough so people can still do their work.\nThat is the tension you would spend your time on, and it is getting sharper. As AI and agents start producing more of this content, the constraint system has to hold for output no human wrote.\nWhat You'll Do\nTechnical Leadership\nLead architectural and technical discussions within the team, facilitating clear decision-making and documenting tradeoffs and risks.\n\nGuide the technical direction of the team while ensuring alignment with Stensul’s broader engineering architecture.\n\nPromote engineering best practices including shift-left on security, data privacy, observability, and system reliability.\n\nPartner with other functional areas in Engineering for ensuring alignment and shared goals\n\nHands-on Engineering\nContribute directly to the codebase and lead by example through high-quality engineering practices.\n\nImprove system architecture, scalability, performance, and maintainability.\n\nDrive complex technical initiatives and refactoring efforts.\n\nTeam Development\nMentor and support engineers in their technical growth.\n\nFoster a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and technical excellence.\n\nEncourage ownership across the team-from idea to production and long-term maintenance.\n\nProvide technical input and perspective to hiring and team growth decisions, partnering with the Engineering Manager who owns staffing and capacity planning\n\nCross-Team Collaboration\nWork closely with other Tech Leads, platform teams, and SRE to align on architecture and engineering standards.\n\nCoordinate cross-team initiatives and high-impact deployments.\n\nContribute to improving engineering processes and practices across the organization.\n\nOperational Excellence\nOwn system availability and reliability, taking accountability when critical situations arise and leading the team through them.\n\nTreat quality as the team's responsibility, not a downstream function's. You will partner closely with QA Engineering on test strategy, automation, and prevention, and you will be expected to raise the team's own bar rather than rely on someone else catching things later.\n\nLead and participate in incident reviews, post-mortems, and continuous improvement efforts.\n\nProactively identify and communicate risks, blockers, and technical challenges.\n\nTechnical Challenges You'll Help Solve\nSome of the problems you’ll work on include:\nScaling a platform that enables marketing teams and agents to produce complex campaigns quickly and reliably.\n\nDesigning scalable APIs and integrations with major marketing enterprise platforms.\n\nImproving system performance and reliability across distributed services.\n\nEvolving architecture to support growing product capabilities and enterprise customer demands.\n\nSimplifying complex workflows so non-technical users can build sophisticated marketing assets.\n\nOur Core Tech Stack\nFrontend: Vue.js, TypeScript\n\nBackend: PHP/Laravel, Node.js, Python\n\nInfrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, GCP\n\nDatabases: MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB\n\nObservability: Datadog, New Relic, Sentry, Kibana\n\nCI/CD & Version Control: Git-based workflows\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nExperience\n10+ years of experience building and shipping high-quality software.\n\n5+ years of technical leadership within engineering teams.\n\nStrong experience designing scalable web applications and APIs.\n\nSolid understanding of software architecture, data modeling, and design patterns.\n\nExperience working in modern web development environments.\n\nExperience leading large refactoring initiatives in complex systems.\n\nTechnical Skills\nStrong JavaScript expertise and experience with frameworks. Vue.js preferred, React or other mainstream frameworks considered.\n\nExperience with server-side languages such as PHP, Node.js, Golang, or Python.\n\nStrong knowledge of web architecture, APIs, and distributed systems.\n\nExperience with relational and document databases (MySQL, MongoDB).\n\nStrong testing and quality practices including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, and frameworks.\n\nStrong refactoring skills and commitment to code quality.\n\nExperience with monitoring and observability tools.\n\nProficiency with AI-assisted software development workflows.\n\nCurrently and actively working hands-on with AI agents as part of your day-to-day engineering practice.\n\nExperience with containerization technologies such as Docker or Kubernetes.\n\nExperience with version control systems (Git).\n\nLeadership & Collaboration\nStrong communication skills across both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nAbility to balance technical excellence with pragmatic delivery.\n\nExperience mentoring engineers and helping teams grow.\n\nComfortable leading technical discussions and influencing architectural decisions.\n\nA track record of building genuine partnerships with QA, Security, SRE, etc. We are looking for someone who has made a team's software processes and production better in all aspects from inside the team, not someone who has managed handoffs.\n\nComfortable working in a flexible and dynamic business environment.\n\nCommitment to raise the bar of the overall engineering team, identifying and pushing for local optimizations into broader impact initiatives\n\nPositive energy that creates a healthy environment and inspires team members to be better engineers\n\nNice to Have\nExperience building high-performance or high-availability applications.\n\nExperience with PHP frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, or Zend.\n\nExperience with functional programming concepts.\n\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive compensation package including equity\n\nCompany laptop\n\nFlexible time off policy\n\nThe opportunity to lead technical decision-making and shape the platform’s architecture\n\nA collaborative and inclusive engineering culture\n\nThe chance to help build the next phase of the Stensul platform\n\nOur Values\nWe look for people who embody our values:\nLead with Customer Value -
