Notch is the AI operating system built for enterprises running complex, regulated operations. We deploy purpose-built agents that resolve real workflows end-to-end -compliantly and at scale - across insurance, financial services, and fintech.
We’re a fast-growing startup at the forefront of the AI revolution, helping companies scale smarter, cut costs, and deliver human-like customer experiences. Our platform already processes hundreds of thousands of conversations at any time, delivering customer support at superhuman speed and accuracy.
We’re looking for a hands-on Fullstack Team Lead to lead one of our core R&D teams.
This role is ideal for someone who is still a strong individual contributor, but also wants to lead people, shape architecture, and build a team. You’ll be responsible for owning a meaningful product area end-to-end technically and organizationally.
This is not a pure management role. You are expected to write production code, lead by example, and take deep responsibility for delivery and quality.

- Own architecture, design, and implementation of core product areas
- Make key technical decisions with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and developer experience
- Mentor, coach, and grow engineers — technically and professionally
- Drive execution: break down complex problems, prioritize work, and ensure delivery
- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other R&D teams
- Help shape engineering standards, best practices, and team culture
- Take part in hiring and building the next generation of Notch engineers
