As the fastest-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in history, Deel is transforming how global talent connects with world-class companies – breaking down borders that have traditionally limited both hiring and career opportunities. We're not just building software; we're creating the infrastructure for the future of work, enabling a more diverse and inclusive global economy. In 2024 alone, we paid $11.2 billion to workers in nearly 100 currencies and provided healthcare and benefits to workers in 109 countries—ensuring people get paid and protected, no matter where they are.
Our momentum is reflected in our achievements and customer satisfaction: CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, Deloitte Fast 500, and repeated recognition on Y Combinator’s top companies list – all while maintaining a 4.83 average rating from 15,000 reviews across G2, Trustpilot, Captera, Apple and Google.
Your experience at Deel will be a career accelerator. At the forefront of the global work revolution, you'll tackle complex challenges that impact millions of people's working lives. With our momentum—backed by a $17.3 billion valuation and $1 B in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just over five years—you'll drive meaningful impact while building expertise that makes you a sought-after leader in the transformation of global work.
We're looking for an Infrastructure Tech Lead to join our Infra Core team at Deel. This is a staff-level, technical leadership role (with no direct people management). You will be the most senior technical voice on a team of four to five engineers, setting the technical direction while doing real, hands-on work in equal measure.
In this role, technical depth is not optional. You will stay close to the architecture, code, and infrastructure while simultaneously shaping the roadmap and raising the team's bar. Your primary focus is the application layer: how services are built, observed, and scaled across the organization. You will be building the control plane, tooling, and infrastructure primitives that hundreds of Deel engineers depend on every day.
As a hyper-growth company, new initiatives and shifting priorities are the norm here. This is not an environment for "maintenance-mode" engineering. We are builders. Our philosophy is simple: identify the biggest bottleneck, build a robust solution, ship it, and immediately move on to tackle the next massive problem. If you thrive in a high-velocity environment where your work has an immediate, wide-scale impact, you'll feel right at home.
Technical depth alone isn't enough for this role. The person who will thrive here can hold a strong technical vision, align a team behind it, and execute; even through ambiguity or disagreement. You have a reputation for shipping things that are hard to ship. You know how to keep a project moving without losing the room, and you strongly prioritize relentless execution over endless debate.
Infra Core is a remote, highly autonomous team of five engineers solving the foundational infrastructure problems that affect every team at Deel. We are considered an enabler within the company heavily relied upon during critical moments, and operating entirely without a PM so we can shape our own destiny. From how a new service gets provisioned on day one to how it runs reliably at scale, we handle it. We work closely with our sister workstream (Infra Engineering) and with DevOps, sitting squarely at the critical intersection of developer experience and production reliability.
Our workforce deserves fair and competitive pay that meets them where they are. With scalable benefits, rewards, and perks, our total rewards programs reflect our commitment to inclusivity and access for all.
At Deel, we’re an equal-opportunity employer that values diversity and positively encourage applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of race, religion, sex, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, pregnancy or maternity or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
