✨ Tech Lead ✨
Build the future of Manufacturing
📍 Hackney, London (3 days in-office / 2 remote)
💰 Highly Competitive + Equity
🚀 The Mission
Geomiq is the global OS for manufacturing. We bridge the gap between complex engineering and global production through AI-driven automation and high-performance logic. We are looking for a hands-on leader to own our backend and data engineering as we scale.
🛠️ The Role: Lead from the Front
This is a technical-first leadership role. You won't just manage; you will architect, build, and ship.
- Write Production Code: You’ll be in the codebase (Laravel/Python) daily.
- Architect Systems: Design the data pipelines and logic powering global supply chains.
- Lead Senior Talent: Mentor a high-calibre team of senior devs and data scientists.
- Direct Influence: Work alongside the CEO/Product leads to shape the roadmap.
Note: This is not a "Jira-ticket manager" role. We value velocity, technical depth, and building over coordination.
💻 The Stack
- Backend: Laravel (PHP) - Essential
- Frontend: JavaScript / Vue.js
- Data/AI: Python, Data Pipelines, AI-driven automation
- Infrastructure: API-first architecture & complex third-party integrations
🌟 Who You Are
- A Laravel Expert: You are a senior engineer first, manager second.
- Systems-Minded: You think in workflows, data models, and scalable architecture.
- Startup-Tested: You thrive in fast-moving environments where delivery is king.
- Pragmatic: You know when to build for scale and when to ship for speed.
💡 Why Geomiq?
- Real-World Impact: We solve tangible engineering problems at a global scale.
- Ownership: High-trust environment with zero red tape.
- Growth: Direct equity potential and a chance to shape the architecture of a category-defining company.
🚫 What This Role Is Not
- ❌ A pure people-management or "meetings-only" role.
- ❌ An enterprise corporate environment.
If you’re ready to build systems that power global operations, we want to talk.
