Engineering Team Lead

Proven experience leading software delivery teams in a hybrid technical leadership and people leadership capacity. [3+ years in technical leadership, team leadership, or player-coach roles]

Strong software engineering background with the technical depth to guide architecture, review designs, challenge trade-offs, and step in hands-on when necessary. [8+ years of software engineering experience]

Demonstrated success managing cross-functional collaboration across engineers, QA, SRE, interns, Product Managers, architects, and business stakeholders.

Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trusted partnerships and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.

Experience working in a close counterpart model with Product Managers to align roadmap, priorities, delivery plans, and customer value.

Deep interest in AI-first software development, with familiarity in AI-assisted engineering, LLM-based workflows, agentic systems, RAG, orchestration patterns, evaluation approaches, and guardrails.

Ability to guide teams in applying AI and automation pragmatically across development, testing, operations, incident response, and product capabilities.

Strong understanding of modern engineering practices including cloud-native architecture, APIs, distributed systems, CI/CD, observability, reliability, and secure software delivery.

Experience in hotel tech, hospitality platforms, TravelTech, or corporate travel is a strong plus, especially where product and engineering decisions depend on domain knowledge, partner integrations, and operational sensitivity.

Familiarity with enterprise workflows involving suppliers, travel programs, booking ecosystems, or complex third-party integrations is an added advantage.

Self-starter with a growth mindset, strong judgment, and bias toward outcomes, simplification, and continuous improvement.

Excellent English communication skills, including the ability to influence stakeholders, align teams, and translate technical direction into business impact.

This role sits at the center of shaping an AI-first engineering culture in a domain where operational quality, automation, and partner experience matter deeply. Current AI-first engineering leadership roles place strong emphasis on using AI not just as an add-on, but as a primary lens for how teams build, operate, and scale software systems.

The opportunity is especially compelling because it combines technical leadership, stakeholder influence, product partnership, and domain relevance in hotel tech and corporate travel. It offers the chance to guide teams that build intelligent, adaptive, and reliable platforms for a complex global ecosystem, while helping define what agentic-first engineering looks like in practice.
