We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Full Stack Team Lead to join our growing R&D team.

This is an opportunity for a strong engineer who enjoys leading people but wants to remain deeply involved in development. You'll take ownership of a full stack team, contribute significantly to the codebase, and help shape the architecture and development of our AI-powered products.

What will you be doing?

  • Lead a full stack development team while remaining actively involved in hands-on coding and feature development.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of technical solutions, from design and architecture through implementation and production.
  • Build and improve AI-powered features, integrating LLMs and AI services into our products and workflows.
  • Translate product requirements into scalable, reliable, and maintainable solutions.
  • Make technical decisions, conduct code reviews, and maintain high engineering standards.
  • Manage the team's day-to-day development activities, priorities, and delivery.
  • Mentor engineers, encourage knowledge sharing, and foster a collaborative engineering culture.
  • Work closely with Product, Design, and other R&D teams to deliver impactful features.
  • Participate in recruitment, onboarding, and the professional development of team members.

What skills and experience do you need?

  • 5+ years of professional experience in full stack software development, with strong hands-on coding skills.
  • Previous experience as a Team Lead or Tech Lead, including mentoring engineers and leading technical delivery.
  • Strong experience with at least one of our backend stacks: Node.js + MongoDB or Java + MySQL.
  • Experience with React and modern frontend development.
  • Proven experience building and maintaining production-grade web applications, including frontend, backend, APIs, and databases.
  • Practical experience developing AI-powered features, working with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, or AI-driven workflows.
  • Strong software architecture and problem-solving skills, with the ability to balance speed, quality, and scalability.
  • A hands-on mindset and genuine enthusiasm for writing code, not just managing development.
  • Experience working in agile, fast-paced product environments.
  • Excellent English communication skills, both written and spoken, are required.
  • Strong ownership, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Product-oriented thinking, with a focus on delivering real value to customers.
  • Ability to learn quickly, adapt to new technologies, and lead by example.

Work Environment & Schedule

  • Fully remote position, working with an international team across multiple countries.
  • Working hours start at 8:00 AM Brasília time (BRT, UTC−3) to ensure alignment and collaboration with the team.
  • Own equipment required: You'll work using your own computer and home office setup, with a reliable internet connection.
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment while maintaining strong communication and collaboration with the team.

Nice to have

  • Experience with AI agents, RAG, structured extraction, or document-processing pipelines.
  • Experience evaluating and optimizing AI systems for accuracy, latency, and cost.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS.
  • Experience building B2B SaaS products.

Why Jones?

At Jones, you'll have the opportunity to combine technical leadership with meaningful hands-on development, work on real-world AI challenges, and directly influence the architecture and direction of our products.
