From Team Lead to Product Leader: are you ready for the next level?
Many engineering leaders reach a point where βanother projectβ stops being exciting.
Deadlines change, scopes shrink, teams rotate β and eventually you deliver a finished featureβ¦ 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 weβre looking for a Python Team Lead to take ownership of a product like this β a mature, successful SaaS platform used daily by thousands of organizations in the US.
What makes this role truly interesting for a Lead:
πΉ Full ownership, not task execution
You lead a cross-functional squad of 5β7 engineers (backend, frontend, QA) and own the entire lifecycle: architecture β development β release β production stability.
πΉ Real influence
This is not βjust managing tickets.β Youβll shape technical direction, work directly with architects and product managers, and impact how the platform evolves.
πΉSerious 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.
πΉHands-on technical leadership
You remain a strong technical expert while mentoring engineers, improving processes, and building a high-performing team.
πΉRemote-first culture
Fully remote environment built on trust, autonomy, and strong engineering collaboration.
This role fits leaders who:
πΉ BSc in Computer Science or equivalent;
πΉ 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years of Python in production;
πΉ 3+ years in an R&D team lead, leading cross-functional teams (backend, frontend, and QA) in a production environment;
πΉ Proven experience managing and leading remote teams in a fully distributed, remote-only environment;
πΉ Proven experience working in a product-based company (not project/outsource);
πΉ Strong experience with Python backend development in a SaaS environment, including cloud-based, scalable, and high-availability distributed systems;
πΉ Strong knowledge of REST APIs, microservices, asynchronous programming, and testing;
πΉ Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Helm);
πΉ Solid understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and technical trade-offs;
πΉ Proven experience delivering long-term SaaS and customer-facing products with full end-to-end responsibility β from design to production and ongoing support.
πΉ Excellent communication skills and high proficiency in English.
