Engineering Team Lead, LanguageWire

• Experience leading and hiring software engineers - growing teams, not just managing them
• A track record of developing people: helping junior engineers grow, keeping senior engineers challenged, and building trust across the team
• Strong communication skills and comfort leading in a distributed, multi-location setup
• You care about why you're building something, not just how. You can reason about customer problems, trade-offs, and outcomes alongside your PM
• Ability to balance competing priorities: feature delivery, tech debt, platform investment. You make these trade-offs visible and advocate for all three
• Comfort running the team's operational rhythm (roadmap ownership, backlog management, sprint/cycle planning) without drowning in process
• Strong opinions (loosely held) on CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, observability, and release management
• Experience establishing or improving engineering practices in a team instead of just following existing ones
• Familiarity with "you build it, you run it" ownership models
• Solid hands-on experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., Vue), .NET, relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL), Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud providers (e.g., Azure)
• Comfort designing and building cloud-native distributed systems based on microservice
• Interest in (or experience with) AI agents and embedding AI into business workflows

Desirable

• As Engineering Team Lead, you'll take ownership of an existing team — hiring new engineers, developing the people you have, and raising the bar on how the team works
• This isn't a feature factory
• We run empowered product teams: you and your Product Manager own the product
• Together you discover customer problems worth solving, decide what to build, and own the outcome
• Your team is responsible for the full development lifecycle — you build it, you run it
• You'll join an existing team in the Technology department, working alongside 6 other teams in a distributed, international setup
• Your team develops and maintains some of the most critical components that sustain our business such as authentication/authorization, object/file storage, notifications (chat, email, SMS), back office integrations (CRM & ERP), reporting and AI Agents integration into our business workflows
• You'll report to the Director of Engineering and work closely with five other Tech Leads
• Co-driving the product. Together with your PM, you own the product. You bring technical insight into what's possible, shape the solution, and take shared responsibility for outcomes — not just delivery
• Leading and growing your team. Hiring well, developing people's skills, and creating an environment where senior engineers and newer talent both thrive
• Driving engineering excellence. Raising the bar on CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, observability, and everything else that lets a team ship confidently and often
• Staying hands-on. Contributing to the codebase through implementation and code reviews. You lead by example
• Designing scalable solutions. Architecting cloud-native services and integrating AI agents into business workflows
• Raising the bar beyond your team. Collaborating with fellow Tech Leads and senior leadership to improve engineering maturity across the organization — processes, practices, and culture
• In one year, you’ll know you were successful if…
• You've grown the team with the right people and built a cohesive unit that ships independently and owns its product with confidence
• Your team has measurably improved the scalability, reliability, or functionality of the products you own
• Your team promotes and adopts engineering best practices (CI/CD, automated QA, observability)
• Your engineers are growing, and you and your team push the entire technology organization to improve
