Technical Lead - Only candidates from Latin America
About us
Archie Labs builds smarter software by combining AI and expert human teams. We help companies move from concept to production-ready systems faster using agentic AI, AI-powered product discovery, and strong engineering execution.
At Archie Labs, youll work in a people-first environment built around autonomy, ownership, and continuous learning—partnering closely with clients and technical teams to deliver real solutions, not just plans.
About the Role
We are looking for a Technical Lead to join Archie on a full-time basis. This is a senior leadership role working hand-in-hand with the CTO to define system architectures, set technical direction, and lead our engineering and development teams. We are looking for a profile with deep full-stack and cloud expertise, strong strategic vision, and proven leadership, with mastery of an AI-first philosophy — someone capable of designing production-grade system architectures while mentoring teams and driving technical excellence across the organization. Since our team and stakeholders are international, conversational English is required for this role.
Responsabilities
Partner directly with the CTO to define, document, and evolve system and application architectures across the platform.
Set technical direction and standards, making high-level design decisions that balance scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
Lead, mentor, and grow engineering and development teams, fostering a culture of technical excellence and ownership.
Architect and oversee cloud infrastructure on AWS, ensuring reliable, cost-effective, and scalable deployments.
Design and review full-stack solutions spanning frontend (React/TypeScript) and backend (Golang, Node.js) services.
Apply an AI-first philosophy to the design of architectures, processes, and tooling integration throughout the development lifecycle.
Architect and integrate AI/LLM-powered solutions using frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, and the Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs.
Define data architecture strategy across relational and non-relational stores (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis).
Establish and enforce best practices for code quality, CI/CD, containerization, testing, and system observability.
Drive technical roadmap planning, balancing long-term architectural vision with near-term delivery priorities.
Conduct architecture and code reviews, providing clear technical guidance to development teams.
Evaluate and introduce new technologies, tools, and patterns that improve engineering velocity and product quality.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product and stakeholders — communicating in English when needed — to translate business goals into robust technical solutions.
Required Qualifications
Proven experience as a Technical Lead, Software Architect, or equivalent senior engineering leadership role.
Strong leadership and team management skills, with a track record of directing and mentoring engineering teams.
Demonstrated ability to define and own end-to-end system architecture for production-grade applications.
Mastery of an AI-first philosophy and experience applying it in development environments.
Cloud: Strong, hands-on expertise with AWS (required).
Languages & Frameworks: Deep proficiency with React, Golang, Node.js, and TypeScript.
AI Frameworks: Hands-on experience with LangGraph, LangChain, the Anthropic SDK, and the OpenAI SDK.

Containerization: Hands-on experience with Docker.
Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices, APIs, and scalable architecture patterns.
Ability to balance strategic technical vision with hands-on execution.
Conversational English (required) for daily communication with the team and stakeholders.
Intermediate to Advanced English (B2+ / C1)
