Engineering Team Lead

Pixellot’s consumer applications reach millions of users globally - parents streaming their kids’ games, clubs monetizing content, and coaches analyzing performance. We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on Engineering Team Lead to lead a Consumer Applications team, working on OTT and Coaching Analytics across web and mobile platforms.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of consumer experience, hands-on engineering leadership, and product delivery. You’ll lead a consumer-facing engineering team with a strong focus on frontend quality and user experience, stay very close to the technology, and help shape end-to-end product flows in close partnership with Product and Design.

You’ll be part of a strong R&D organization driving an AI-first transformation, working with high standards, clear ownership, and a relentless focus on what users actually feel.

As Part Of Your Role, You Will

• Lead an engineering team of web, mobile, and backend engineers, with full ownership over execution and delivery.

• Stay hands-on and close to the code, including design reviews, code reviews, and direct contribution when needed.

• Own frontend quality and user experience across consumer-facing flows.

• Collaborate closely with Product and Design to translate user and business needs into high-quality technical solutions.

• Help define and execute the team’s technical roadmap within OTT, Monetization, and Coaching Analytics platforms.

• Architect and evolve full-stack solutions that handle live video and consumer-scale workloads.

• Lead the development and evolution of Pixellot's SDK, ensuring it is scalable, easy to integrate, and delivers an excellent developer experience.

• Balance innovation with pragmatism - ship fast, measure impact, and iterate based on real user behavior.

• Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and high engineering standards within a hybrid engineering team across local and global locations.

Requirements

• 5+ years of engineering experience, including 2+ years as an Engineering Team Lead.

• Proven experience leading an engineering team that delivered end-to-end consumer products - from development through production (including app stores when relevant).

• Strong background in consumer-facing applications, with a clear frontend and UX orientation (Web and Mobile).

• Full-stack background with a strong frontend orientation, plus solid understanding of backend systems, AWS, DevOps, and real-time video processing.

• Hands-on experience developing modern web applications using React and Node.js.

• Ability to challenge architectural decisions, evolve systems, and contribute to technical direction at the team level.

• Hands-on leadership approach - comfortable reviewing designs and code, mentoring engineers, and jumping into implementation or POCs when needed.

• Strong UX instincts with attention to performance - fast load times, smooth interactions, and a polished user experience.

• Strong product intuition and collaboration skills - focused on solving real user problems and translating them into clear technical priorities with Product and Design.

• Experience working in SaaS / Web-based companies.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Entrepreneurial background or experience building products from scratch.

• Strong AI-first or spec-driven development mindset.

• Experience leading hybrid or distributed teams.

• Passion for sports or experience in sports media / video platforms.
