Backend Foundations Team Lead

R&DFull-timetelavivTel-Aviv, IL

We are monday.com, a global software company transforming how businesses run. Our product suite can adapt to the needs of diverse industries and use cases within one powerful platform, empowering ~245,000 customers worldwide to reimagine how work gets done, drive greater efficiency, and scale like never before.


With over 2,500 employees across the globe, we grow by prioritizing transparency and knowledge sharing. We care about the impact you make, not the hours you clock, so we encourage initiative, ownership, and fresh thinking. We back our people with flexible work, wellness and mental health support, and a work environment built on collaboration.


We’re looking for a backend team lead to take a leadership role in structuring our backend architecture vision and implementation. You’ll join our R&D department based in our headquarters, Tel Aviv, Israel. The Backend foundations team is part of our Foundations Group.

Some of the challenges the group will face next year -

  1. Build our new backend & client shared frameworks, supercharging other R&D teams with the capabilities to focus on business logic with great confidence.
  2. Design and develop key parts of the company’s application, such as the our Board’s engine (aka mondayDB), to support great scale and performance in strategic areas.
  3. Lead the building of a new Monday architecture that supports a much larger scale of developers and data, focusing on “key” parts implementation (like a general authorization system).
