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.

  • Ownership That Matters: You'll lead high-impact projects with real business outcomes
  • Rapid Growth: We compress years of learning into months
  • Merit Over Titles: Trust and responsibility are earned through execution, not tenure
  • Velocity with Purpose: We move fast, support each other, and aim high — always with purpose and intention

 

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. features
  • Own production reliability — you're the first person who cares when something breaks, and you drive the team to fix it fast and prevent it from happening again
  • Raise the bar for the engineering team through mentorship, tooling improvements, and establishing best practices
  • Use AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a daily force multiplier for yourself and your team — and push the team to adopt AI-native workflows that accelerate output

 

You Are Likely To Succeed If

  • You have 6+ years of hands-on software development experience with at least 2 years in a technical leadership role — leading teams, making architecture decisions, and owning delivery
  • You have shipped and maintained customer-facing SaaS products — you understand what it takes to build software that real users depend on
  • You have strong system design instincts — you know how to architect systems, define clean interfaces, and make decisions that hold up as complexity grows
  • You are stack-flexible: comfortable working across Python, TypeScript/React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Databricks). You learn new tools fast and don't let unfamiliar tech slow you down
  • You have an AI-native workflow — you don't just use AI tools, you've fundamentally changed how you and your team work because of them
  • You can context-switch between writing code, unblocking a teammate, and presenting a technical tradeoff to a non-technical stakeholder — all in the same day
  • You are responsive and reliable — you take ownership of production systems and communicate proactively, especially under pressure
  • You lead by example — your team follows your standard because they see you hold yourself to it first
  • You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related technical discipline

 

What We Offer

Our compensation package includes comprehensive benefits, perks, and a competitive salary:

  • Flexible work hours, flexible vacation, a generous 401K match, parental leave, team events, wellness budget, learning reimbursement, and more
  • Your growth at YipitData is determined by the impact you make, not by tenure, unnecessary facetime, or office politics
  • The annual on-target earnings for this position is anticipated to be up to $200K - $230K. The final offer may be determined by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, as well as internal team benchmarks

 

This role may be performed fully remotely within the United States. Please note that our US headquarters are located in NYC. We also have office hubs in Austin, Miami, and Mountain View. If the remote work is performed outside of these offices, income may be subject to New York State tax withholding.

Please note that for this position, we are not able to consider candidates who currently or in the future will require visa sponsorship.

We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
