About Spotto

Spotto is an AI-native platform for autonomous cloud operations. We’re building the next generation of systems that run themselves - where AI replaces traditional toolchains for SRE, FinOps, and cloud management. Our goal is to make cloud operations autonomous, safe, and economically intelligent.

The Role

We’re looking for an Engineering Lead to turn AI-driven innovation into product reality. You’ll work closely with our CTO - who prototypes and pushes the edge of what’s possible - and lead a small, highly technical team to deliver fast, high-quality, and reliable product releases.

This role combines hands-on technical leadership , team development , and AI-native engineering practices . You’ll translate ideas into execution, shape the engineering culture, and evolve the platform as we grow toward our pre-seed round and beyond.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead a small but growing team of engineers (currently 3) to deliver high-impact features quickly and safely.
  • Work directly with the CTO to translate vision and innovation into actionable technical roadmaps.
  • Build scalable, maintainable systems across backend, AI integration, and platform layers.
  • Champion engineering excellence - CI / CD, observability, testing, reliability.
  • Drive adoption of AI-assisted and AI-generated code in day-to-day engineering.
  • Foster an experimentation culture while maintaining velocity and quality.
  • Help recruit and mentor engineers as the team expands.

What You’ll Bring

  • 5-10 years in software engineering, with at least 2 years leading a small team or managing delivery.
  • Strong technical foundations in cloud-native architectures , APIs , and distributed systems .
  • Experience with Python , TypeScript , or similar languages; familiarity with AI frameworks or LLM-based tools is a bonus.
  • Proven ability to deliver production systems quickly in startup or high-growth settings.
  • Curiosity and comfort with emerging technology—especially where AI changes how we build.
  • Appetite for ambiguity and a bias toward action.
  • Pragmatism : you can balance innovation with stability and business outcomes.
  • Why Join Spotto

  • Be part of the founding engineering leadership team shaping an AI-native product from the ground up.
  • Work closely with a technical founder (CTO) on cutting-edge AI systems.
  • Flexible, remote-first culture built on trust, ownership, and outcomes.
  • Competitive early-stage salary with meaningful equity.
  • If this sounds like you - please apply today.
