Job description

The ad as published by the employer.

A product within the Source ecosystem that turns real-time public web data into structured datasets for businesses, data teams, and AI developers. Like the other companies across Source, it runs independently while drawing on shared standards and expertise.

The team waiting for you

Our API Squad owns the public and internal APIs that give customers access to Datasets Products' extensive B2B dataset of company, employee and job records. You’ll join a small team of three Python developers as its dedicated Tech Lead, staying hands-on with code while guiding architecture decisions and mentoring engineers — without direct reports. The platform is evolving quickly as we rebuild our billing and credits system, scale event-driven data delivery and develop new ways to package our data. Your challenge will be to keep our high-traffic APIs reliable as they grow, establish clear technical ownership and help the team build systems it can confidently maintain together.
