LanguageWire is hiring an Engineering Team Lead

About the Role

Lead and shape a growing team of software engineers building scalable, cloud-native applications enhanced with AI capabilities. You’ll co-own product direction with Product Management, ensuring technical decisions align with customer needs and long-term platform health.

What You’ll Do

  • Guide the full development lifecycle—from design and implementation to deployment and operations—with ownership over both code and outcomes.
  • Recruit and develop engineers at all levels, fostering a culture where people grow, contribute, and take initiative.
  • Champion modern engineering practices: continuous integration and delivery, infrastructure as code, automated testing, observability, and reliable release strategies.
  • Stay technically engaged through hands-on coding, system design, and code reviews, especially in cloud-native microservices environments.
  • Collaborate with fellow technical leaders to raise engineering standards across the organization.
  • Design and integrate AI agents into real-world business workflows, enhancing product value through intelligent automation.
  • Manage team rhythms—roadmaps, backlogs, sprint planning—efficiently, minimizing process overhead while maximizing delivery clarity.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience leading engineering teams, including hiring, mentoring, and building trust across distributed locations.
  • Demonstrated ability to grow individuals—supporting junior engineers while challenging senior ones to reach higher.
  • Strong technical foundation in Vue, .NET, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms like Azure.
  • Hands-on experience designing distributed systems and operating in cloud-native environments.
  • Comfort balancing feature development, technical debt, and infrastructure investment, making trade-offs visible and sustainable.
  • Experience in environments where engineering shares accountability for product success, not just delivery.
  • Interest or experience in applying AI meaningfully within existing product ecosystems.

Our Environment

We operate with flat hierarchies, direct communication, and a culture built on curiosity, honesty, and mutual respect. You’ll have the freedom to advocate for your ideas, supported by ongoing development opportunities and a dedicated People Partner.

Work from anywhere with our full-time remote option, or choose to collaborate in person at one of our centrally located, modern offices across Europe and the US. Enjoy inclusive social events, well-equipped workspaces with game rooms and rooftop terraces, dog-friendly offices, and daily access to organic snacks and coffee.

We’re an international team of over 300 people from more than 20 nationalities, united by a shared drive to learn, build, and improve. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion ensures a fair and transparent hiring process for everyone.
