Crehana (Mississauga NT, Canada) Follow 2 days ago

Job Description

Crehana is a B2B SaaS platform powered by AI that delivers integrated talent management solutions to clients across Latin America — skills, learning, performance, and career development in one place. Our mission: make people development universal.

We're looking for a hands-on Tech Lead. Someone who leads by example: you set the technical direction, mentor your team, and when the moment calls for it, you roll up your sleeves and write code.

What you'll own

Architecture and technical decisions for scalable backend services
Code quality standards, code reviews, and CI/CD practices
Mentorship and growth of your engineering team
Collaboration with Product and DevOps to ship impactful features
Stability, security, and evolution of our platform

Tech stack

Python + FastAPI (required)
Docker / Kubernetes / microservices
AWS, GCP, or Azure
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB
REST APIs / GraphQL (nice to have)
Terraform (nice to have)

Restrictions

Telecommuting is OK
No Agencies Please

Requirements

We're looking for a hands-on leader who still writes code when it matters. This could be someone who has already led engineering teams working with Python and modern backend stacks — or an experienced engineer with deep technical expertise who is ready to step into a leadership role for the first time.

Must-have

Experience leading engineering teams (junior and mid-level), or a seasoned engineer ready to take that next step
Strong Python proficiency with FastAPI
Hands-on experience with microservices, Docker, and Kubernetes
CI/CD pipelines and automated testing practices
SQL and NoSQL databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB
Cloud platforms: AWS, GCP, or Azure
Security awareness and compliance standards
Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
Comfortable with agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)

Nice to have
