We are looking for a Senior Engineer / Team Lead to guide and support a distributed development team in building scalable, reliable systems. This role combines hands-on engineering with team leadership, ensuring high-quality delivery while fostering a strong engineering culture.

You will work closely with the Technical Product Lead (TPL) and Principal Architect (PA) to translate technical direction into execution, while coaching engineers and maintaining delivery momentum across a remote setup.

Your Role

As Technical Product Lead for the Customer Data Platform (CDP), you operate at the intersection of product, architecture, and engineering. You are the technical lead for the CDP domain, responsible for translating product and business goals into scalable data platform capabilities.

You work closely with the overarching Product Owner and Principal Architect and act as the technical connector between CDP teams, stakeholders, and the wider product landscape. You ensure that the CDP remains a robust, scalable, and future-proof foundation for all customer journey use cases.

What You’ll Do

• Technical Leadership
  Lead by example through hands-on development, setting standards for code quality, performance, and maintainability.
• Team Guidance & Mentorship
  Support and mentor engineers in a remote environment, helping them grow technically and professionally. Provide regular feedback and foster ownership within the team.
• Execution & Delivery
  Own the day-to-day execution of work. Ensure tasks are well understood, properly scoped, and delivered on time.
• Collaboration with TPL & PA
  Work closely with the Technical Product Lead and Principal Architect to implement architectural decisions and refine technical approaches.
• Code Reviews & Best Practices
  Enforce high engineering standards through code reviews, design discussions, and continuous improvement of development practices.
• Scalable System Design
  Contribute to the design and implementation of scalable, distributed systems.
• Kubernetes & Infrastructure Awareness
  Guide the team in building and operating applications in a Kubernetes-based environment, ensuring reliability and scalability.
• Remote Team Operations
  Facilitate effective communication, clarity, and collaboration within a fully or partially remote team.

Requirements

What You Bring

• Strong Software Engineering Background
  Extensive experience building backend systems in a modern programming language (Go is a strong plus, not a requirement).

• Leadership Experience
  Proven experience leading or mentoring engineers, preferably in a remote or distributed team setup.

• Distributed Systems Knowledge
  Solid understanding of scalable architectures, APIs, and system integrations.

• Kubernetes Familiarity
  Experience with containerized applications and a good understanding of Kubernetes concepts and operations.

• Pragmatic Problem Solving
  Ability to balance speed and quality, making practical decisions in complex environments.

• Communication Skills
  Clear and effective communicator, able to align team members and collaborate across roles.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Golang in production environments
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures (e.g., messaging systems)
• Experience with cloud platforms and infrastructure-as-code
• Exposure to high-throughput or data-intensive systems

What Success Looks Like

• A well-functioning, aligned, and motivated remote engineering team
• Consistent delivery of high-quality, maintainable software
• Strong adherence to engineering standards and best practices
• Smooth collaboration with TPL, PA, and other teams
• Systems that scale reliably in a Kubernetes-based environment
