About Stensul

Stensul is the Governed Creation™ Platform for enterprise marketing teams that need to create campaigns quickly, safely, and at scale. We bring creation, collaboration, and control together in one connected platform, combining AI-enabled creation, no-code production, embedded governance, and seamless integrations across the marketing tech stack. The result: faster output, lower costs, reduced risk, and work that stays consistently on brand.

At Stensul, we’re just as intentional about how we work as about what we build. We’re a people-first team that values inclusive collaboration, ownership, and continuous learning. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to help define the future of marketing creation, we’d love to meet you.

Why This Role Matters

We're looking for a Technical Lead to own the technical direction of a team working across platform activation and asset delivery, two domains where reliability and flexibility directly shape how enterprise customers experience our product every day. Reporting to one of our Engineering Managers, you'll navigate the tension between technical sustainability and business urgency, making architectural decisions that compound over time in a B2B platform serving large, demanding organizations. If you care as much about how a team works as about what it builds, and you'd rather model good practices than mandate them, this is the kind of role where you'll thrive.

Technical Leadership

Lead architectural and technical discussions within the team, facilitating clear decision-making and documenting tradeoffs and risks.
Guide the technical direction of the team while ensuring alignment with Stensul’s broader engineering architecture.

Improve system architecture, scalability, performance, and maintainability.
Drive complex technical initiatives and refactoring efforts.

Team Development

Mentor and support engineers in their technical growth.
Foster a culture ofcontinuous learning, collaboration, and technical excellence.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Work closely with other Tech Leads, platform teams, and SRE to align on architecture and engineering standards.

Operational Excellence
