Magento2 Tech Lead

About the Position

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.

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

Must Have

• 7+ years of overall software development experience
• 3+ years of hands-on Magento 2 experience
• Proven experience in a technical leadership role
• Strong experience with Magento 2: custom module development, API integrations, admin workflows, and performance considerations
• Solid understanding of Magento 2 architecture, extension patterns, and scalability best practices
• Strong proficiency in PHP 8+, MySQL, and JavaScript/ES6+
• Working knowledge of Python
• Proven experience with third-party integrations, including payment systems (e.g. Stripe) or other business-critical services
• Experience with caching and scalability tools such as Varnish, Redis, and CDN
• Experience with cloud-based deployments and basic infrastructure concepts
• Hands-on production experience
• Product or service company background rather than pure outsourcing
• Regular hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar)
• Strong ownership mindset
• English level: Upper-Intermediate (B2) or higher
• Ukrainian language is a must

Bonus Points

• Magento certification(s)
• Experience with AWS services and cloud-based architectures (e.g. Lambda, CloudFormation)
• Experience with microservices or service-oriented architecture
• Experience in healthcare, telehealth, or other regulated domains (e.g. HIPAA)
• Experience with subscription or other recurring billing flows
• Prior experience leading technical initiatives or mentoring engineers

We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on your experience and skills
• Flexible schedule and remote work options
• 20 working days of paid vacation per year
• 5 paid sick days per year
• Conferences, workshops, webinars, and training - we invest in your growth
• Exposure to a wide variety of technologies and international projects
• A team that genuinely values engineering quality, initiative, and smart use of modern AI tools

About the Company

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.

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.
