Lead Engineer (Hands-On) – C#, Azure & React | $150K-$180K + Equity + Remote | High-Growth Event Planning SaaS Company

YOU MUST LIVE IN THE STATES, BUT THE PHILADELPHIA AREA IS PREFERRED (NY TO DC)

YOU MUST BE A U.S. CITIZEN OR GREENCARD HOLDER TO APPLY TO THIS POSITION. WE’RE NOT OFFERING VISA SPONSORSHIP.

Are you ready to transform the Event Planning SaaS Industry and deliver best-in-class code in an exciting startup that’s skyrocketing?

Company Overview

Our client is a fast-growing, $3M seed-funded B2B SaaS company in the event planning and hospitality space. Their platform is trusted by over 150K venues worldwide, including major brands like Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt. They’re simplifying and modernizing how event planners and hospitality teams collaborate, source, and book venues — all in one platform.

Backed by strong early traction and clear product-market fit, they’re now building out their core engineering team. This is a high-impact, HANDS-ON, leadership role where you’ll help guide architecture, improve infrastructure, and take ownership of backend systems that power a category-defining product.

Company Culture

This is an amazing opportunity if you’re looking to grow, where you will directly impact the growth and success of an incredible company and team.

Our client values accountability, an ownership mindset, and a data-driven approach. They’re a collaborative team where each person’s contributions directly impact their success. Their company is scaling fast, where micromanagement does not exist, and you’ll have the freedom to think outside the box, bring fresh ideas, and get creative with your processes. 

You’ll work closely with the founders and C-Suite, allowing you to make a real difference and be part of strategic decisions. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with opportunities for growth and advancement, this is the place for you!

Benefits

• Health Coverage: 100% employee and 50% dependent coverage for vision, health, and dental.

• Maternity Leave: Support for growing families.

• Future 401K Plan: Coming soon!

• Quarterly Meetups: Connect and collaborate in person with the team.

• Remote work budget and opportunities for leadership advancement.

As the Lead Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of the platform — technically, strategically, and culturally. You’ll work directly with the founder and CTO, take ownership of the backend and infrastructure, and help scale the product to its next stage of growth.

This is a great fit for someone who thrives in remote, high-autonomy environments but doesn’t mind the occasional in-person sync in Philly to align on big-picture goals.

Responsibilities

• Lead backend development using appropriate platforms (C# / .NET are preferred, but our client isn’t too hung up on languages) — designing and maintaining APIs, data models, and business logic

• Contribute to and support the existing React front-end, C# .NET Function Apps, and other Azure resources, as needed

• Own Azure-based deployments and DevOps processes; improve CI/CD and environment management

• Collaborate closely with the founder and other stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable tech solutions

• Architect and implement improvements across performance, scalability, and system reliability

• Proactively present updates and technical decisions in a clear, organized way (weekly cadence expected)

• Confidently challenge ideas that aren’t technically sound, and push for smarter solutions when needed

• A senior-level engineer (6–12+ years) with deep experience in C# / .NET and Azure

• Comfortable with front-end development in React and Typescript

• Strong grasp of DevOps best practices, ideally in Azure environments

• Microsoft Certified or equivalent experience preferred

• You’re comfortable working directly with technical founders — and navigating tough conversations when needed

• You value clarity, consistency, and direct communication

• You’re assertive, thick-skinned, and proactive — not afraid to push back, but always solution-oriented

What You’ll Love

• Remote-first culture with occasional in-person meetups in Philly

• High-ownership role with autonomy to shape systems from the ground up

• Direct access to the founder and fast decision-making cycles

• Clear product-market fit, strong user base, and rapid growth phase

• No micromanagement — just big challenges and the trust to solve them

If you’re a confident, senior engineer ready to lead, build, and influence the future of a fast-growing SaaS platform — we’d love to hear from you.
