What It's Like to Work at YipitData YipitData isn't a place for coasting — it's a launchpad for ambitious, impact-driven professionals. From day one, you'll take the lead on meaningful work, accelerate your growth, and gain exposure that shapes careers.

About The Role

Signals is YipitData's B2B spend analytics platform for private equity and growth investors — helping them track software adoption, revenue, retention, switching, and competitive dynamics across thousands of companies. We're looking for a Tech Lead to own the technical direction of the Signals engineering team and drive the next phase of the product forward. This is a hands-on leadership role.

You'll set the technical vision, make architecture decisions, and write code — while also unblocking your team, raising the engineering bar, and working directly with product, data, and revenue stakeholders to shape what gets built. You'll lead a small, high-output team of engineers and QA, and be the person accountable for the quality, reliability, and velocity of everything the Signals team ships. You'll be responsible for production-grade systems that customers and internal teams depend on daily.

That means being responsive, reliable, and an excellent communicator — both when things are going well and especially when they're not. The ideal candidate has led engineering teams before, treats AI coding tools as core infrastructure for how they work, and has a track record of shipping products that customers love — not just features that meet specs. This is a remote-friendly opportunity that can sit in NYC (where our headquarters are located), one of our office hubs (Austin, Miami, or Mountain View), or anywhere else in the US.

However, depending upon where the remote work is performed, income could be subject to New York State tax withholding. As a Tech Lead, You Will Own the technical direction of the Signals platform — architecture, system design, tech debt strategy, and engineering standards Lead a team of engineers and QA — set priorities, unblock work, conduct code reviews, and drive execution Stay hands-on: you're writing code, shipping features, and debugging production issues alongside your team Work directly with product, data, revenue, and customers to translate business problems into a technical roadmap Make the calls on build vs. buy, tradeoffs between speed and quality, and when to invest in infrastructure vs.
