Engineering Team Lead — Python to $7000

From Team Lead to Product Leader: are you ready for the next level?
Many engineering leaders reach a point where “another project” stops being exciting.
 Deadlines change, scopes shrink, teams rotate — and eventually you deliver a finished feature… but not real impact.
A true product is different.
 It lives. It grows. It has real users, real scale, and a long-term future.

Right now we’re looking for a Python Team Lead to take ownership of a product like this — a mature, successful SaaS platform used daily by thousands of organizations in the US.

What makes this role truly interesting for a Lead:

🔹 Full ownership, not task execution
 You lead a cross-functional squad of 5–7 engineers (backend, frontend, QA) and own the entire lifecycle: architecture → development → release → production stability.
🔹 Real influence
 This is not “just managing tickets.” You’ll shape technical direction, work directly with architects and product managers, and impact how the platform evolves.
🔹Serious engineering scale
 Modern stack: Python (Django + FastAPI), microservices, cloud infrastructure, fully automated CI/CD, high-availability distributed systems. A product where things must work 24/7.
 🔹Hands-on technical leadership
 You remain a strong technical expert while mentoring engineers, improving processes, and building a high-performing team.
🔹Remote-first culture
 Fully remote environment built on trust, autonomy, and strong engineering collaboration.

This role fits leaders who:
🔹 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.
