About this Engineering Team Lead role at Avelios Medical
ABOUT US
Our mission at Avelios is to unlock clinical data to power seamless healthcare operations for better patient care. To do so, we have built a modular software platform that digitizes and optimizes workflows in hospitals with cutting-edge technology in a user-friendly way. With our software, we enable hospitals, doctors & nurses to provide their patients with the best possible care.
We are growing fast and want to keep expanding our team and business to fundamentally digitize healthcare for the better. We appreciate different backgrounds and see diversity as one of our strengths.
THE TEAM AND ROLE
As an Engineering Team Lead, you will combine technical and people leadership, taking ownership of both your team’s performance and the technical direction of its work.
You will lead a team of approximately 4–10 engineers across Frontend and Backend and build a focused, high-performing team that consistently ships high-quality software into production.
You will coach and develop engineers, set a high bar for engineering quality, and define the technical direction for your domain. You will make pragmatic decisions around architecture, priorities, technical debt, and reliability while balancing immediate product needs with the long-term health of our platform.
This is not a purely managerial role. You will stay close to the technology, step into hands-on work where needed, cut through complexity, and ensure your team keeps moving toward the highest-impact outcomes.
