At Leap Tools, we are building the world's most advanced solutions for the interior décor industry. With customers in 80+ countries, our clientele includes Fortune 500 companies such as Home Depot, local retailers such as Alexanian's, and everything in between. We have been recognized as one of the fastest-growing tech companies by Deloitte for multiple years in a row, and we are looking for ambitious challenge-seekers to fuel our momentum and help us create an iconic global tech company.
Imagine you want to redesign your home and have been searching for new tiles for your kitchen, or a recent rug for your living room. Simply upload a picture of your room using your mobile phone, and slide the rug under your coffee table: We are adding a Staff-level engineer to hold technical direction across multiple projects. We have recently acquired QFloors, a company building an ERP solution for the flooring industry.
The migration of QFloors from our 20+ year-old desktop software system to a modern web stack is the largest engineering program in this part of the company. It is multi-tenant, runs on live customer data, and moves one business domain at a time while dealers keep working. That takes someone who designs six plus months ahead, sees across both sides (Desktop & Web), and can hold a line on architecture while the teams ship every release.
You will be the most senior engineer in the room for both, and the person the engineering manager and the CTO look to for what the platform should become. You enjoy setting the bar high and clearing it. Your technical knowledge is matched only by your passion to design, create, and succeed with others.
Web : Python, Django, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, AWS C++ on Windows, PostgreSQL, delivered through Azure Virtual Desktop Own the technical direction of the QFloors-to-ERP migration across both teams: the domain sequencing, the data model each domain lands on, the cutover strategy per tenant,
and the seams that let the desktop and the web ERP run side by side until the last domain moves. Drive the largest projects in the program to completion, staying hands-on in the code where it matters most and delegating where it doesn't. Elicit requirements and lead design discussions across the full range of technologies both teams use, from the legacy desktop code to the Django services and the Next.js surfaces in Roomvo Pro.
Evaluate competing approaches on quality risk, considering the technology, the delivery process, and the team's expertise, and guide the teams to the best one. Grow the engineers who came up on the desktop side into full contributors on the web stack. Help us hire and onboard.
You will be trusted to evaluate the technical depth of candidates for both teams. Drive the design, architecture, and delivery of complex backend systems that enable 3D and computer vision experiences at scale. Lead the development of mission-critical APIs, data pipelines, and services that support high-traffic applications used globally.
Partner with product and engineering leadership to define technical direction, identify foundational investments, and plan for scale and performance. Serve as a force multiplier by mentoring senior engineers, conducting architecture reviews, and enabling high-quality, high-velocity development across teams. Champion engineering excellence and set the technical bar for backend systems in terms of scalability, resiliency, observability, and maintainability.
