Magento2 Tech Lead
Remote — Europe
Job description
Who we are?
We’re a fast-growing telehealth product launched in 2025, backed by an established e-commerce company with roots going back to 2012. We’re focused on the US market, building a platform that connects patients with doctors for real medical care: think weight-loss treatment, prescriptions, and insurance-covered telehealth visits, all wrapped in a strict, HIPAA-conscious environment. Our user base is growing fast, and our team is remote-first across multiple countries.
Role Overview
We’re bringing in a strong Tech Lead to own the toughest technical problems on the platform — deep architecture calls, complex integrations, and anything that needs more bandwidth than day-to-day delivery allows. You’ll work side by side with our Team Lead, focusing on the technical side while they focus on people and delivery.
You’ll combine deep hands-on Magento 2 engineering with real technical leadership — owning architecture decisions, setting the technical bar, and helping the rest of the team level up. You’ll have a real say in how things get built, and a direct line into both technical and product challenges.
This is a strong fit for a senior engineer who’s ready to step beyond pure execution — someone who sees the whole picture, isn’t afraid of legacy code, helps people around them grow, and treats AI-assisted development tools as a normal part of the daily workflow, not a novelty.
What you’ll do
Own technical architecture and design decisions for the platform, balancing pragmatism with long-term maintainability — perfect code is not the goal, working software is
Develop and maintain Magento 2 functionality: custom modules, API integrations, admin workflows, and performance improvements
Work with our Python-based microservices — integrate with them, extend them when needed, and collaborate on service-level changes
Define and enforce technical standards, code review practices, and quality bar across the team
Conduct code reviews with practical, direct feedback focused on delivery quality, not nitpicking
Support and mentor engineers on the team, helping them make better technical calls on their own
Identify and resolve the complex technical problems that stall with our current setup — the ones that need more than a mid-level developer can carry alone
Design and maintain integrations across our stack — payments (Stripe), third-party medical and marketing systems, and internal microservices — with a clear understanding of security boundaries and authorization
Proactively flag reliability, performance, and developer-experience issues before they become incidents
Collaborate with Product, QA, and DevOps to clarify requirements, validate solutions, and ship smoothly
Communicate technical progress, risks, and decisions clearly to the Team Lead and stakeholders
Success in this role looks like:
The backlog of complex, senior-level tasks that used to stall stops piling up
The team ships integrations and features with fewer security or data-handling surprises
Engineers around you are visibly leveling up — code reviews teach, not just gatekeep
The Team Lead has a real technical partner to think through hard problems with, not just another pair of hands
Team & culture
The team has been together for years (some for 8-10+), even though this product itself is a young spin-off — you’re joining an experienced crew, not a green startup team
Direct, no-nonsense communication culture — disagreeing with your manager is normal and welcomed, not risky
Scrum/Kanban hybrid workflow, mandatory code review, unit and integration tests, and some QA automation tests that run directly against production to catch real issues early
AI tools are part of daily life here: GitHub Copilot, Gemini Pro, Claude Code, and others — used deliberately, not as a crutch
