We're looking for a Lead Engineer to join us on our mission

As a Lead Engineer for our Vectera product at Teamleader, you:

Lead & grow the team

• Own delivery end-to-end: guide work from idea to production and outcomes, keeping scope tight and quality high.

• Run the engineering rhythm: lead planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retros to keep flow and focus.

• Coach engineers through pairing, thoughtful code reviews, and asking great questions; help juniors level up fast.

• Drive technical design within the team and with adjacent teams; align on patterns and solve cross-cutting problems.

• Continuously improve how we work—process, code quality, testing, and observability—so we ship smaller, safer, and faster.

• Shepherd the pipeline: keep build/test/deploy healthy so changes reach customers swiftly and safely.

• Assess feasibility and risk: evaluate solution options, call out risks early, and help the team prioritize.

• Communicate clearly with engineers, PM, QA, and stakeholders—transparent, no-surprises updates.

Ship great product

• Modernize the codebase: reduce AngularJS surface area, improve performance, structure, and usability.

• Build new features with a bias to simplicity and maintainability (e.g., AI meeting summaries).

• Elevate quality: improve test coverage, error budgets, and SLOs; champion pragmatic engineering standards.

• Own production: collaborate on incident reviews, root-cause analysis, and preventative fixes.

Our Tech Stack

We value adaptability over buzzword bingo — but here’s what we use today:

• Frontend: Angular (TypeScript), legacy AngularJS, WebSockets

• Backend: Python, Django, Django REST Framework

• Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Redis

• Tooling: GitHub, Jira, Slack, and a pragmatic Scrum approach
