Taptap Send is looking for a Tech Lead to join our growing engineering team and guide the evolution of our backend systems as we scale. This role is not just about technical performance, but also about supporting the internal human processes that power much of our product. You will work closely with Product, Operations, Customer Support, Growth, and other functions to design and build out a reliable, performant, and secure platform for handling remittances across countries. As an early leader of the team, you will have a significant impact on our team culture, processes, and norms.

We value teamwork and autonomy, and face many exciting challenges, including scaling up to handle increased volume and complexity, helping our analysts derive business and product insights to drive growth and retention, and building internal tools for customer support and acquisition efforts.
