Keedian (formerly Tutenlabs) is transforming how buildings operate — combining technology implementation, AI-powered optimization, and managed services to help multi-site organizations cut costs, reduce emissions, and move from reactive fixes to predictive performance.
Our vision is clear: a future where buildings run autonomously, so our clients can focus on what matters most.
Location: 100% remote – we prioritize candidates based in Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina.
What this role is about
You'll be responsible for leading a cross-functional development POD, combining hands-on software engineering with technical leadership, team development, and end-to-end delivery.
At Keedian, our PODs are designed to take ownership of problems, build solutions, and deliver measurable business impact — not simply complete tasks.
You'll work closely with:
- Product, to align priorities and translate business needs into solutions
- Architecture and Engineering, to ensure technical quality, scalability, and maintainability
- Other PODs and cross-functional teams, to manage dependencies and deliver results
Your role is to ensure your POD operates effectively, makes sound technical decisions, and consistently delivers high-quality solutions aligned with business priorities.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll write code, guide architectural decisions, solve complex technical problems, mentor engineers, and help your team continuously improve how it works.
You'll be expected to balance technical excellence with speed and execution. That means knowing when to go deep, when to simplify, and how to keep your team focused on what creates the most value.
We're looking for someone who leads by example, takes ownership, and is comfortable making decisions in an evolving environment.
If you're looking for a role where you can build software, develop people, and directly influence how technology delivers business results — this is it.
