Engineering Team Lead, Learning

Engineering Team Lead, Learning We usually respond within a week All Gravy is the AI-native people operating platform for hospitality and retail. 🥞 We're modernising how frontline teams work, replacing scattered tools and outdated systems with a single app that's actually built for the way people work & socialise today. Our AI Colleague gives staff instant answers & executes day-to-day tasks, freeing up managers to focus on people & customers instead of paperwork. We work with some of the most exciting brands in hospitality and retail, including Gail's, L'Osteria, Dishoom, Pizza Pilgrims, Ottolenghi, Q8 and 7-Eleven. Today over 2,000 restaurants and stores trust us to run their teams. We've grown 10x in two years and are accelerating into new markets. Our team spans a wide range of nationalities and backgrounds, united by one mission: to create better work lives for the 80% of the world that do not sit behind a desk. 🚀 🤩 About the role The Learning team owns how hundreds of thousands of frontline employees get onboarded, trained and certified. Onboarding flows, courses, quizzes, certifications and the reporting that proves compliance to a brand's head office. It is one of the areas where AI changes the product most: content that writes itself, training that adapts to the individual, and an AI Colleague that answers the question instead of pointing at a PDF. We are looking for a Team Lead to own that. This is a player-coach role. You are accountable for a small team of engineers, their growth and their output, and you are still in the codebase every day. You set the technical direction for the domain, you decide what gets built and in what order together with product, and you are the person who unblocks a stuck ticket by opening a PR rather than scheduling a meeting about it. If you want to stop writing code and manage full time, this is the wrong role. If you want to lead a team without losing your hands, read on. 🎯 What will you do Lead the team. Three to five engineers. Weekly 1:1s, honest feedback, clear expectations, real career conversations. You hire, you onboard, and you address underperformance early rather than hoping it resolves itself. Own the Learning domain end to end. Architecture, data model, quality, performance, technical debt and on-call health. When something in Learning breaks or scales badly, it is yours. Stay hands-on. Roughly half your time in code and review. Enough to keep judgement sharp and enough to set the standard by example. Ship the roadmap. Work with product and design to turn a direction into shippable increments, break work down, cut scope when needed, and be honest about dates. Raise the team's AI ceiling. You are already top-tier at AI-assisted development. Here you make the whole team better at it: agent workflows, review flows, evals, and the working practices that follow. You will contribute to how the wider engineering org adopts and improves this, alongside the other team leads. Collaborate across teams. Learning touches scheduling, employee data, comms and Ai - You will contribute to shared standards and architectural decisions rather than optimising your own corner. We have a full-fledged TypeScript-based tech stack, which means our engineers move between front-end, back-end and mobile without friction. All Gravy is undergoing high growth, so the role and its scope will develop over time, and there will be plenty of opportunity for you to learn and grow. 🙌 You'll thrive here if you.... Have 6+ years of full-stack experience across React, React Native, TypeScript and Node.js. Have led engineers before, formally as a lead or manager, or as a tech lead with real responsibility for other people's output. We care more about evidence than job titles. Can design and architect highly available, fault-tolerant and scalable distributed systems. Come from a startup or scale-up. You know what it means to move fast, make pragmatic calls, and revisit them when the time is right. Give feedback directly and kindly, including the feedback nobody wants to deliver. Are fluent in English, spoken and written. Are based within European time zones, whether from our Copenhagen or London office or remotely. An advantage if you have experience in: NestJS MongoDB Learning, LMS, e-learning or other content-heavy products Shipping LLM-powered features to production users, including evals and guardrails 💎 Why all Gravy Grow fast, for real. We promote from within, move quickly, and give you real responsibility from day one. AI at the center, not the side. We're not sprinkling AI on top, it's woven into everything we build. You'll use it, push it, and help define what it means for the future of work. Top equipment. You'll receive all new equipment to do your best work. A culture that actually develops you. Honest feedback, active coaching, and the autonomy to experiment. We invest in you because your growth is our growth. Work that matters. Your work will directly impact the daily lives of millions of frontline workers. You'll work with people who've built, scaled, and won. Ex-founders, operators, all here because they want to do it again, bigger. The good stuff too. Prime office location, team lunches, Friday bars, padel tournaments, wine tastings, offsites, top-tier equipment, and a fridge that's always stocked. We work hard and celebrate harder. 💡 Even if you do not tick every box on this page, you might be the perfect fit for the job! We treasure our learning culture and encourage all humble people to apply.

We are modernising the tools for frontline employees and transforming the experience into one that is engaging and motivating; making their lives easier - from getting paid to developing their careers . We’re innovating on the whole employee journey: from being recruited, onboarded, growing skills and connecting with co-workers – all in one app. Employers get a swiss-army-software to attract, motivate & retain their employees - rather than having to invest in 5 different pieces of software that are not fit for purpose. About All Gravy All Gravy is an HR-tech scaleup on a mission to make work fun again - for hourly employees in hospitality and retail. The All Gravy app connects everything between employees and employers — from preboarding and onboarding to scheduling, communication, learning, surveys, and even pay access. It feels like the tools people already use in daily life: Duolingo, Messenger, WhatsApp. Employers get a single platform that motivates and retains staff, instead of juggling five outdated systems. And with built-in AI , staff can get instant answers on things like recipes, shifts, or time off — without pinging HR. We’re building All Gravy together with leading brands like Dishoom, Wahaca, Ottolenghi, Pizza Pilgrims, and Honest Burgers.
