Remote flexibility
Undisclosed
The listing is advertised as remote but does not state which countries or regions candidates may work from.
Why this role is Undisclosed
We only label a role Work from anywhere, Region restricted or Work from home when the employer's own wording says so. We checked this advert under our current rules and found no country or region eligibility requirement in it. We don't guess, so it stays Undisclosed until the employer publishes enough location information. Here is exactly what the advert left out.
- Countries you can work from: Not stated. The advert only gives "Remote", which names no country you must live in.
- Whether the work is remote: Never mentioned. The role reached us through a remote job board, but the advert itself doesn't say the work is remote.
- Working hours: Stated: Async.
Worth a look all the same. Missing wording is usually a rushed job posting rather than a closed door, so ask where you can be based in your first message, before you write a tailored application.
What the employer says
- Source listing states candidate location: "Remote"
What Nomaders makes of it
- No residency or region requirement found in the job description
- Check with the employer before assuming you can work from abroad
The quotes above are the employer's own words; the reading is ours. Always check the original listing and employment terms before working from another country.
About the role
About Lemon.io
Lemon.io is a profitable, growing talent marketplace that connects vetted senior engineers with companies that need them. We’ve been in business for 10 years, have 60 people across Ukraine, Europe, Canada, and the US, and process over $16M in annual GMV. We compress the traditional 2–5 week hiring timeline down to 24–48 hours through a curated, pre-vetted supply of developers.
Hiring is still broken. Recruiters spend weeks building candidate pipelines on traditional platforms, burning energy on unqualified leads. We’re building the product that changes that. Giving recruiters qualified, vetted candidates within 24 hours without the grind. This is a pivotal moment: we’re transitioning from a services-driven marketplace to a technology-driven platform. We need an engineering leader who can drive that transformation.
The Role
You will own engineering at Lemon.io . You’ll lead a growing team of engineers, make critical architecture and prioritization decisions, and be directly accountable for the speed and quality of what we ship. This is not a management-layer role. You’ll be hands-on, deeply involved in product decisions, and working side by side with the founder.
What You’ll Do:
Own the technical roadmap and make sure every engineering effort maps directly to business impact. No features for features’ sake.
Lead and grow an engineering team that ships fast, iterates constantly, and treats complexity as a cost.
Tackle the hard, multi-layered problem: automated vetting, intelligent matching at scale, demand-side bottlenecks. And figure out where the real leverage is.
Make hard prioritization calls. Decide what we build, what we skip, and what we kill.
Work directly with the founder and product team to define what success looks like before writing a single line of code.
Build the engineering culture: high ownership, high speed, low bureaucracy.
Who You Are:
Product-minded, business-first
Obsessed with simplicity
First principles thinker
Fast. Bias toward action
Experience:
You’ve led engineering teams (5–30+ people) at a startup or high-growth company.
You have hands-on experience with modern stacks and are comfortable with AI/ML tooling.
You’ve worked in a distributed, async-first team.
Why Lemon.io :
Profitable and growing. No fundraising pressure, real business fundamentals.
A pivotal moment: you’re not maintaining an engine, you’re building one. The product roadmap is wide open.
