Engineering Team Lead — Python

Project ends. Product lives.
A role for leaders who want real ownership.
If you’re an Engineering Lead who’s tired of running short-lived projects — this may resonate.
This is not about starting from zero or firefighting MVPs.
It’s about leading a mature SaaS product in the FP&A space, used daily by thousands of companies across the US.
What makes this role different for a lead:
You own a real product, not a fragment of a roadmap

• A self-contained team (5–7 engineers: BE, FE, QA) — minimal dependencies, maximum accountability
• Full lifecycle ownership: architecture → delivery → production stability
• Direct influence on technical decisions and product evolution
• Hands-on leadership: still technical, but with real impact beyond code

Tech environment (briefly, because it matters):
Python (Django + FastAPI), microservices, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, high-availability systems.
Stable, scalable, already in production.
Culture & setup:

• Fully remote by design
• Strong engineering culture, senior peers, thoughtful collaboration
• Clear growth paths — technical or managerial

This role is for leaders who:
Think in systems, not tickets

• Care about ownership and outcomes, not just delivery
• Want their decisions to matter long after a sprint is over

Not actively looking?
Still worth a conversation — roles like this don’t appear often.

Key Requirements:

🔹 BSc in Computer Science or equivalent;
🔹 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years of Python in production;
🔹 3+ years in an R&D team lead, leading cross-functional teams (backend, frontend, and QA) in a production environment;
🔹 Proven experience managing and leading remote teams in a fully distributed, remote-only environment;
🔹 Proven experience working in a product-based company (not project/outsource);
🔹 Strong experience with Python backend development in a SaaS environment, including cloud-based, scalable, and high-availability distributed systems;
🔹 Strong knowledge of REST APIs, microservices, asynchronous programming, and testing;
🔹 Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Helm);
🔹 Solid understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and technical trade-offs;
🔹 Proven experience delivering long-term SaaS and customer-facing products with full end-to-end responsibility — from design to production and ongoing support.
🔹 Excellent communication skills and high proficiency in English.
