Lead Solutions Engineer

As the Lead Solutions Engineer on our small team, you will be responsible for leading the architecture, system design, database design, and API development, while also engaging in hands-on execution using modern, visual development platforms. You will play a crucial role in improving our problem-solving and development processes and culture.

Platform expertise: Become an expert in our technology stack (WeWeb and Xano), staying updated on releases and updates, and understanding limitations, workarounds, and where we need to inject custom code.
Back-end implementation: Implement back-end systems in Xano, including configuring business logic, API endpoints, caching, authentication, integrating third-party APIs, incorporating microservices, and occasionally writing JavaScript Lambdas.
Front-end implementation: Implement front-end systems in WeWeb, integrating high-fidelity UI/UX designs from Figma, developing front-end workflows (visual abstraction of JavaScript), writing “no-code” formulas, writing JavaScript where needed, and integrating third-party APIs and NPM packages.

4+ years of full-stack web development: Proven experience in both front-end and back-end technologies, including JavaScript, Vue.js, Node.js, and RESTful APIs.
2+ years of designing software systems and APIs: Demonstrated ability to plan and design scalable software systems and databases, with experience in creating and maintaining detailed system diagrams using digital white-boarding tools.
Strong understanding of modern web and cloud infrastructure: You should have a strong conceptual understanding of how components such as Google Cloud, Docker, and Kubernetes are used in the modern web, as well as familiarity with CORS policies and Redis caching strategies.
Familiarity with visual development platforms: You should be familiar with no-code and low-code platforms like WeWeb, Xano, Airtable, Make.com, Zapier, etc. We don’t expect you to be an expert, but we do expect you to understand how they generally work and how one could configure them.
Basic understanding of security best practices and compliance standards: Knowledge of security best practices and compliance standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.
