Engineer Lead

Job Description

Are you passionate about leading engineering teams to build impactful, scalable products? Do you thrive at the intersection of hands-on technical expertise, architectural vision, and leadership? If you're ready to drive the development of both our established SaaS platform and a brand-new AI-native product, we want to hear from you.

About Us

At Mobietrain, we provide a mobile-first, AI-driven performance enablement platform designed to empower frontline workers. With a team based across the Netherlands (Amsterdam), Belgium, and Italy, and 150+ customers in industries like Retail, Hospitality, and Logistics, we're reshaping how knowledge and communication drive individual and organizational success.

We are now entering an exciting new phase: alongside our current product, we're building an AI-native product that redefines how frontline employees learn, engage, and perform. This role offers a unique opportunity to influence the architecture and strategy of both products as we scale.

Role

We're looking for an Engineering Lead to guide and grow our engineering team, set technical direction, and ensure our systems can scale with future demands. You'll combine leadership with deep technical expertise in cloud, data, and modern engineering practices. Working closely with Product and AI teams, you'll make strategic decisions that enable efficient development across products, ensuring long-term scalability and innovation.

What You'll Be Doing

·     Lead & Mentor: Coach engineers, foster a culture of ownership and innovation, and guide the team to deliver high-quality solutions at speed.

·     Architect for Scale: Design and maintain a robust, cloud-native architecture that can support multiple products and evolving AI-driven features.

·     Shape the AI-Native Product: Work closely with AI Engineers and Product Managers to ensure the new product is built on a solid technical foundation.

·     Stay Hands-On: Contribute to code and architecture reviews, and step in for complex problem-solving where your expertise adds leverage.

·     Drive Quality & Delivery: Champion CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and performance best practices to ensure reliable, scalable products.

·     Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with Product, Design, and AI teams to align technical decisions with business goals and customer needs.

Skills and Expertise

·     Full Stack Background: Strong technical expertise with Node.js, React, TypeScript, and modern frontend/backend frameworks.

·     Cloud & Architecture: Deep experience with cloud-native systems (preferably GCP), containerization, and microservices.

·     Data & Scalability: Strong understanding of data architecture, pipelines, and system scalability in distributed environments.

·     Leadership: Proven experience guiding engineering teams, setting technical direction, and scaling both systems and teams.

Soft Skills

·     Strategic Thinking: You think beyond the immediate, aligning architecture and team decisions with long-term goals.

·     Empowering Coach: You develop others, fostering an environment where engineers can thrive.

·     Pragmatic Problem-Solver: You balance speed and quality, making smart trade-offs to deliver business impact.

·     Clear Communicator: You bridge business and technical perspectives with clarity and confidence.

What We Offer

·     A leadership role shaping the future of two innovative products with direct business impact.

·     Competitive salary and benefits package.

·     Flexible work-from-home or in-office options in Amsterdam.

·     The opportunity to influence both engineering culture and product architecture at a fast-growing scale-up.

How to Apply
