Head of Engineering

Why Middleware? 💡

Sick of the endless waiting?

Waiting on code reviews, QA feedback, or that "quick call"?

At Middleware, we’re all about freeing up engineers like you to do what you love—build.

We’ve created a cockpit that gives engineering leaders the insights they need to unblock teams, cut bottlenecks, and let engineers focus on impact.

What You’ll Do 🎨

• Own the Product: Shape a product that engineers rely on daily.
• Build Stunning UIs: Craft data-rich, intuitive designs that solve real problems.
• Shape Middleware’s Architecture: Make our systems robust, seamless, and introduce mechanisms that allow high visibility into our automated pipelines.

What We’re Looking For 🔍

• React + Typescript: You know your way around these tools and have launched awesome projects.
• Python + Postgres: You've build complete backend systems, not just basic CRUD apps.
• Passionate Builder: Hungry to grow, build, and make an impact.

Bonus Points ⭐️

• Eye for Design: You have a sense for clean, user-friendly visuals.
• Understanding of distributed systems: Not everything runs on a single machine, and you know how to make things work across a lot of those.
• DSA Know-how: Familiarity with data structures (graphs, linked lists, etc.) because our product (even frontend) actually uses DSA concepts.

Why You'll Love Working with Us ❤️

We’re engineers at heart.

Middleware was founded by ex-Uber and Maersk engineers who know what it’s like to be stuck in meeting loops and endless waiting. If you're here to build, to make things happen, and to change the game for engineering teams everywhere, let’s chat!
