About Lab49
Lab49 is an NYC-based award-winning specialist consultancy that creates bespoke technology in partnership with the world’s leading financial institutions. Founded in 2002 to bring Silicon Valley engineering practices to Wall Street, we’ve delivered hundreds of high-impact projects across global investment banks and buyside firms, spanning distributed systems, high performance automation, enterprise UX, cloud, and data driven platforms.
At Lab49, engineers work directly with clients to design and deliver production systems. We combine technology, design, and business to solve real problems where quality, performance, and clarity matter.
Lab49 is seeking a Tech Lead to spearhead the full stack technical implementation of digital products for our clients in the finance industry, guiding engineers and collaborating with designers and product teams to translate interactive design concepts into scalable, production-ready applications. You will report to the global head of UI engineering.
The Role
As a Tech Lead, you are a true project leader. You own the technical direction and delivery of client engagements, while multiplying the effectiveness of the engineers around you.
This is a hands on leadership role: you will design systems, write code when it matters most, guide architectural decisions, and ensure the team delivers high quality outcomes even when you are not at the keyboard.
You will work closely with client stakeholders, designers, product partners, and Lab49 leadership to ensure solutions are technically sound, aligned to business objectives, and delivered with excellence.
This is a hybrid role with 1-3 days per week at the office in central Mexico City (Insurgentes Sur).
Why Lab49?
At Lab49, you’ll work on complex, meaningful problems with talented engineers, designers, and consultants. You’ll gain broad exposure to technologies, business domains, and client environments as you grow your career.
We value curiosity, judgment, and ownership. If you care about quality, enjoy helping others succeed, and want your work to have real impact, Lab49 is a place where you can thrive.
