Elevo is looking for an Engineering Team Lead (ETL) to lead one of our squads as a hands-on team leader. You’ll work closely with a Product Manager (PM), Product Designer (PD) and 2 Software Engineers (SWE), with support from our DevOps.
As a hands-on ETL, you’ll spend around 70% of your time coding while guiding the squad through technical decision-making, delivery, and team coordination.
More specifically, you will:
Set priorities with the PM, align with design, and ensure delivery follows the highest quality standards.
Drive technical architecture for backend and frontend systems.
Manage 2 software engineers, supporting their growth, feedback cycles, and day-to-day coordination.
Own the operational health of your squad’s scope, by contributing to monitoring, observability, and post-mortem routines.
Participate in recruitment and onboarding as we continue to grow the R&D team.
Code, pair, review, share, etc.
Examples of what you might work on:
Collaborate with your PM to redesign a product workflow based on user interviews and usage data.
Lead the development of exciting new features, from early architecture choices to production rollout.
Scale up our reporting capabilities, improve SQL performance, and make data actionable for users.
Drive architectural decisions for new integrations or scalable data flows between internal and external systems.
Work with our DevOps to add monitoring to a business-critical feature and resolve a production bottleneck.
Today, Elevo’s R&D team is structured into 3 cross-functional squads, each with the same core setup. As ETL, you’ll be responsible for one of them.
Has 5+ years of experience in a full stack environment, ideally on a Ruby on Rails SPA application.
Has already mentored or led other developers (formally or informally).
Is hands-on, loves shipping code, and knows when to favor pragmatism over perfection.

Is comfortable with our stack or quick to adapt (Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, React, Tailwind).
Collaborates well with PMs, Designers, and other stakeholders.
Brings a positive attitude, curiosity, and drive to help others grow.
