Technical Operations Lead

Lemon.io helps companies in the US and Europe hire experienced engineers, from funded startups to teams like Klarna, Retool, and Pinterest. We’ve been doing this since 2015, and more than 1,500 companies have hired engineers through us. New roles for Tech Leads come in all the time, and several are open right now. Two ways to work with clients • Contract: most roles are contract-based. You join the client’s team and work as part of it. • Direct hire: some clients hire engineers full-time, and we support you through the process. Because companies trust our vetting, applying through Lemon.io is often a shortcut. You get to the client faster than going through their full hiring process on your own. What you get • Competitive rate, based on your seniority and skills • We find the projects. No client hunting or rate negotiations. We match you manually based on your skills and preferences. • Flexible schedule. Work async or with a small overlap with the team’s hours. • No micromanagement, no screen trackers • Direct work with clients, most of them with technical backgrounds • Ongoing support from your application through every project, plus a community of engineers from 75+ countries Who we’re looking for Technical Leads with: • 7+ years of commercial software development experience in a popular, actively maintained programming language • Experience building products from scratch and making architecture decisions that held up in production • End-to-end ownership: identifying the problem, designing and building the solution, and shipping it to production • A track record of measurable business impact, such as faster processing, lower costs, more users, or fewer incidents • Advanced (C1) English: discussing business requirements, explaining technical decisions, raising risks early, and presenting results clearly on client calls • Full-time remote availability and the ability to work without supervision [add time-zone overlap if required] • Fast onboarding, with production contributions expected within the first few weeks How it works • Apply and complete your profile • Verify your role • Once approved, we match you with a project.
