We are open to remote candidates located within CST to BRT time zones.

At Metalab, we design pretty exciting products, but the architecture and building are where you come in. Our technology team needs your help in conceiving new ideas with technology and bringing our products across the finish line for our clients to enjoy in the wild.

To thrive in this role, you’ll provide technical expertise and guidance on projects, stay on top of new technologies and tools, solve big architectural challenges, analyze best solutions, and show up ready for anything.  You collaborate with our design, product, and engineering teams to find relatable, new ways to use technology, help others work within technical limits, and build products that improve people’s lives. You will also lead the technical design of many behind-the-scenes systems and processes that our products depend on to run reliably at scale.

You build trust with clients and your teams in choosing the right technologies and approaches for their products. The magic happens when you combine thoughtful collaboration, strong processes, and the freedom for people to be themselves. When you’re comfortable being yourself, you do your best work and inspire others to do the same.
