This is a REMOTE position. We only accept candidates located in EU, Norway, UK, and Switzerland.

We are looking for a Software Team Lead who combines strong technical expertise with a passion for building and mentoring high-performing engineering teams.

You'll lead a small, highly skilled remote team of engineers working at the forefront of enterprise AI. You'll balance hands-on technical contribution with people leadership—guiding architecture decisions, removing blockers, and fostering a culture of ownership, quality, and continuous improvement.

You'll shape how we build backend services, event-driven architectures, and multi-agent communication layers using modern Python, cloud-native tools, and AI orchestration frameworks.

Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of backend and AI engineers in a remote-first environment.
• Drive technical direction and architecture decisions for scalable, async-first Python systems.
• Collaborate with product and transformation practitioners to translate business needs into technical roadmaps.
• Contribute hands-on to critical backend services, APIs, and AI orchestration systems.
• Establish and champion engineering best practices—code quality, testing, documentation, and security.
• Facilitate effective agile processes, sprint planning, and delivery execution.
• Conduct regular 1:1s, provide constructive feedback, and support career development.
• Coordinate cross-functional initiatives and ensure alignment across teams.
• Ensure systems meet enterprise-grade standards for performance, reliability, and compliance.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience leading engineering teams (3+ engineers) in a technical capacity.
• Strong Python skills with deep knowledge of async programming and backend development.
• Experience with FastAPI, Pydantic, event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ), and relational databases (PostgreSQL).
• Demonstrated ability to balance technical leadership with people management.
• Excellent communication skills—able to articulate technical concepts to both engineers and stakeholders.
• Strong problem-solving skills, technical rigor, and attention to detail.
• Experience working effectively in remote-first, distributed teams.
• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

Bonus Points

• Experience with multi-agent systems, AI orchestration, or generative AI projects.
• Knowledge of cloud-native infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• Track record of hiring, onboarding, and developing engineering talent.
• Contributions to open-source projects or participation in technical communities.
