We support founders and leadership teams with product engineering and global staffing, from early prototypes and MVPs to scaling high-performing teams. Our vetted talent across LATAM and Asia embeds directly into client teams, operating as true extensions rather than external vendors.

About the Role

Devsavant is seeking an API Lead / Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for a real-time, map-based emergency response platform. This is a hands-on leadership position combining technical ownership of the platform's architecture with day-to-day management of a small, focused engineering team.

What You'll Do
  • Manage and guide a team of engineers delivering a real-time, map-based emergency response platform

  • Read and interpret product documentation and requirements, translating them into clear, actionable technical tickets

  • Serve as a technical reference for the project and help shape product requirements alongside stakeholders

  • Own the integration between the backend API and the React frontend

  • Drive architecture decisions across a serverless stack: AWS Lambda, SQS, S3, and related services

  • Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions

What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience managing engineering teams, ideally in a hands-on, individual-contributor-adjacent capacity

  • Strong TypeScript and Node.js

  • Experience with serverless infrastructure-as-code frameworks (SST and Pulumi) and AWS Lambda

  • Familiarity with React, sufficient to manage frontend/backend integration effectively

  • Comfort owning architecture decisions and translating product requirements into technical execution

  • Experience managing a team of approximately 3 engineers

Nice to Have
  • Experience with SOC 2 compliance frameworks (the project is working toward TX-RAMP certification)

Logistics
  • Location/hours: Remote, with working hours overlapping the US Central Time zone (Texas)

  • Timeline: Immediate need
