With built-in AI, end-to-end usability, and real-time connectivity, Factified documents usher in a new age of efficiency, security, and personalization for the enterprise. We are bringing to market a document platform that transforms documents, just as the cloud transformed software applications. Our Smarter Document format disrupts an outdated, siloed, 500-billion dollar industry with revolutionary document experience, document applications and enterprise AI.

We are a fast-growing, silicon valley early stage company founded by a winner of the Mathematics Shaw Prize, often called the “Nobel for Math”, and by a Computer Science professor at Hebrew University. Our technology is foundational, not incremental, and was developed over a decade of research. Our leadership team includes company builders and tech entrepreneurs, as well as engineering, product and sales experts. Factify has raised a very significant seed round. The investors backing us are seasoned company builders, visionaries and engineers who have built world-famous tech teams and hold key tech, business and academia leadership positions.

We’re looking for a Backend Team Lead to lead and scale our backend engineering team. This is a pivotal leadership role in which you’ll guide a high-caliber team of 5 engineers (and growing fast!) in building the foundation of a platform that will redefine the future of enterprise documents.

We’re looking for someone who’s not only a strong leader but also a passionate technologist, someone who thrives on staying hands-on, writing code, and solving complex technical challenges while mentoring and enabling others.

• Ensure high system reliability, observability, and performance at scale
• Foster a culture of engineering excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, frontend, and AI teams

Requirments:

• 8+ years of backend development experience, with 3+ years in Go (hands-on experience is a must)
• 3+ years of experience in leading or managing engineering teams
• A strong track record of delivering high-scale distributed systems and production-grade APIs (REST/gRPC)
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
