Products you will lead a pod on: ● An AI search & recommendation engine for major travel enterprises: heavy client integration work (SSO, security reviews, GDS integrations) with demanding enterprise customers ● A content enrichment API: high-scale, data- and AI-focused backend work ● Partner and supplier integrations, data ingestion pipelines, LLM providers

You must have: ● 2-3+ years of technical leadership experience leading a team, squad, pod or similar unit (a hard must, think team lead or early-stage engineering manager) ● A developer's background (5 years minimum): you have seen production reality with your own hands before moving towards leading people ● A genuinely product-driven mindset: you think about user value and business outcomes before implementation ● Comfort facilitating and coordinating a pod without relying on formal authority ● Willingness and ability to take part in client meetings and act as the external face of your pod ● Excellent spoken and written English for planning sessions, stakeholder updates and client conversations ● Ownership mentality with a strive for elegantly simple, high-quality solutions; you test your own work thoroughly since we have no QA team

• Proven experience using Claude Code; share specific examples
• ⚠️ European or African time zones (±3 hours from CET)
• Available full-time (40 hours/week). Must-Have Requirements (Team Lead — no flexibility on any)
• Go (Golang): Real production experience, not just personal projects. No flexibility on other technologies.
• AI/backend engineering: Deep knowledge of building and productionizing complex AI systems — observability, reliability, quality
• English communication: Very strong, given client-facing responsibilities -Client-facing responsibilities begin from onboarding, with full client-facing ownership expected to grow over time Also, they will have on-call duties (now it’s during working hours and weekends, rotation among team members, but later they want to have 24/7 on call, so one person will be on-call for 24 hours (probably) and it will be compensated extra). Desirable skills (would be a benefit): Any special requirements for the person
