Tech Team Lead (Remote in Spain possible)

Do you have a strong technical background and the experience to make your teammates excel on their tasks? Can you lead and guide our talented and self-motivated software engineers across several locations? Are you ambitious about solid software engineering? Do you enjoy making distributed and highly scalable services in the cloud? Then this might just be what you are looking for!

The role you’ll play

As Tech Team Lead you will have the unique opportunity to recruit new team members and lead a new team in one of our Tribes. The product you will own is the cornerstone of our business. Thousands of high-profile enterprise customers use it to translate hundreds of millions of words yearly in more than 700 language pairs using AI based natural language processing services. And we eat our own dogfood: the LanguageWire delivery team and a community of more than 7.000 linguistic experts rely on it to do their job, 24x7. You and your team will be responsible for lifting the product to the next level of scalability and functionality. 

You enjoy working with people, grooming new talents, or inspiring our senior developers to do even better. You are fluent in C# and take great pride in delivering sound and scalable solutions. The team will work with both backend and frontend features, utilizing microservices and cloud technology.

The team you’ll be a part of

You will join one of our most important tribes and lead one of the teams there. The Tribe currently consists of two teams with a total of 11 dedicated people. We need your help to find smart engineers to grow the new team to around 4-6 people. You will work closely with two existing teams working in a distributed and international setup, as well as the Director of tribe who will also be your direct leader.

The team develops and maintains, among other things, the customer and translator portal, the workflow orchestration engine, an internal API and much more. We moved the product to the cloud and want to move to API first and there’s a huge roadmap packed with great product ideas that will keep us busy for the years to come. Our team handles both the Frontend (written in JavaScript and Typescript) and several backend micro-services including the data persistence layer (created using .NET 5 and running on Kubernetes clusters in Azure).

You’ll report to our Director of engineering, and you’ll work closely with our Director of Technology and two other Team Leads within the Tribe.
