Lead Developer

We’re hiring a Lead Developer in Portugal 🇵🇹 (hybrid)

GAP Consulting builds the systems teams run their operations on: databases, automations, client portals and AI tools. We work on platforms like Airtable and Zite and recommend the right stack for each client.

Every project starts from a written scope, runs in weekly sprints, and ends with a documented handoff.

The role

You run delivery on several client projects at once. You lead the weekly client call and demo, review your developers’ work, and decide whether each request fits the scope or needs a change order.

What you’ll do

• Take each project over from Discovery at kickoff and own it through handoff
• Run the weekly client call and demo, collecting feedback live
• Decide what fits the scope: in-scope work goes to your developers, anything new becomes a change order
• Review developers’ work before every demo and guide them through the build
• Plan sprints from the signed scope, and raise extra weeks with leadership when a project needs them
• Own quality, from QC in the final sprint to a dedicated QC sprint on longer projects
• Train each client team at handoff and make sure the documentation is complete

You’ll typically run 4 to 6 projects at a time, each with 1 to 3 developers.

What you bring

• 2+ years building business systems on Airtable or a similar platform
• Experience leading client projects: running calls, demoing work and managing feedback
• The confidence to say “that’s a change order” to a client, kindly and clearly
• Strong process thinking: you can map how a team works and spot what the system needs
• Experience reviewing other people’s builds and giving useful feedback
• Based in Portugal with the right to work there, and fluent spoken English for calls with North American clients

Nice to have: Zite, Postgres, Softr, Make or Zapier; using AI tools to speed up building and review; leading teams across time zones.

Hours

Our clients are in North America, so your day runs into the afternoon and early evening, Lisbon time. It always ends by 22:00.

Pay

€3,566–4,457 gross a month, paid 14 times a year (€49,924–62,398), including holiday and Christmas pay.
