Technical lead
Pubblicato il 14-08-2026 - SEDES in Roma
Sedes is an AI-native property operations platform, cross-asset by design for real estate operators in
Europe and abroad. Tenants talk to us entirely over WhatsApp: an AI agent handles maintenance
requests, scheduling, and questions end to end, escalating to human operators when needed. Our
goal is to create a Digital-Twin of all properties within a portfolio, so our Agents together with operators
may orchestrate everything: rentals, obligations, compliance, cleaning and maintenance planning, and
tenant communication. Live in production with paying clients; we are a Meta WhatsApp Tech Provider.
The role
Our current technical lead is transitioning out and will run a full structured handover with you. You will
inherit a working, revenue-generating product and own it completely: architecture, roadmap, delivery,
and eventually the engineering team. This is a true #1 technical seat. Depending on fit, this role
becomes CTO.
What you'll own
- A serverless API: 14 Express-on-Lambda microservices (Node 22, TypeScript) behind API Gateway, Cognito auth, EventBridge scheduling, all on AWS eu-south-1
- Supabase Postgres with PGVector RAG; no ORM, typed data layer
- The AI core: an OpenAI Agents SDK orchestrator with ~35 tools and 4 personas, multi-provider model routing (OpenAI + Gemini via Vertex), eval harnesses with LLM judges
- WhatsApp Cloud API integration: templates, webhooks, encrypted Flows
- A separate document-AI platform (Bun/TypeScript, CDK, Qdrant, MinIO, ERPNext) that extracts structured financial data from ingested documents.
What you'll do
- Ship product weekly across the full stack; this is a hands-on coding role
- Own reliability of a system real tenants depend on daily
- Mature the engineering foundation: CI/CD, E2E testing, and deploy automation currently don't exist, and we'll be honest that this is your first 90 days
- Drive the AI agent roadmap: new tools, personas, eval coverage, model routing
- Work directly with founders and clients to turn operator pain into features.
You Must have
- Senior TypeScript, full stack (our entire codebase is TS)
- AWS serverless in production (Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, IAM)
- Shipped LLM-powered features to real users: agents with tools, RAG, evals. This is core product, not a bolt-on
- High agency: you have run systems where you were the last line of defence.
- WhatsApp Cloud API / Meta platform experience
- Italian language or Italy market context
- Comfort with AI-assisted development workflows (we build with Claude Code daily)
- Prior founding or first-engineer experience
Open problems you'd tackle
- 1. Zero-to-one CI/CD and E2E testing across three repos
- 2. Agent reliability: eval coverage and regression gating for a 35-tool orchestrator
- 3. Replacing scheduled-sweep patterns with proper queueing as volume grows
- 4. Scaling multi-tenancy from a handful of clients to dozens.
1. First Interview - Intro call with the founder (30 min)
2. Second Interview - Technical deep-dive with the outgoing tech lead: walk through our real architecture, no leetcode (60–90 min)
3. Triial project: ship one small real feature in the codebase (1–3 days)
4. Last interview and Offer
