Engineering Team Lead

🚀 Engineering Team Lead | Hamburg (Hybrid – only 3 days in office per quarter)

Not every Team Lead role should mean giving up the part you actually enjoy… engineering 👀

I’m currently working with a really exciting digital consumer platform in Germany that’s scaling their engineering function and looking for an Engineering Team Lead to join the team.

This business sits in a unique space between tech, entertainment, and digital consumer products — already operating at serious scale with a large user base and a strong product-driven culture.

What makes the role stand out?

✅ Still hands-on technically

✅ Influencing architecture & technical direction

✅ Leading and mentoring engineers

✅ Working closely with Product & UX

✅ Modern engineering environment with real ownership

🛠 Tech stack: TypeScript | Next.js | Tailwind | Cloud-native architecture

They’re looking for someone who enjoys balancing technical depth with leadership, someone who likes building scalable products, improving engineering standards, and helping teams grow without disappearing into endless meetings and PowerPoints 😅

The culture also seems refreshingly collaborative and low-ego: people are trusted to make decisions, challenge ideas, and build things properly rather than rushing quick fixes out the door.

📍 Hamburg-based

🏡 Hybrid setup (only 3 office days per quarter)

If this sounds like your kind of environment — or someone in your network comes to mind — feel free to reach out 😊
