Regional Technical Lead

About the Role: At OneArc, our technical operations underpin critical infrastructure across the globe. But global consistency only works when it respects local reality. As our Regional Technical Lead in Sweden , you will serve as the strategic technical voice for the region and the operational backbone for our local systems. Leading a focused team of two engineers within our broader TechOps organization, you will balance two vital responsibilities: advocating for Sweden’s unique technical requirements in global architectural forums, while driving absolute adherence to global standards across our local footprint. If you are a hands-on technical leader who excels in matrixed global environments, this is your platform to mentor, architect, and execute. What Impact You’ll Have In Your First 90 Days: Establish Team Cadence: Take ownership of mentoring and guiding your team of 2 engineers, establishing operational best practices and support workflows. Audit Regional Infrastructure: Assess local systems (VMware, Linux, Windows, Cisco/Extreme, Fortigate) to ensure baseline alignment with global security and reliability standards. Join Global Forums: Step in as Sweden’s primary technical representative in global TechOps working groups and architecture reviews. In Your First Year: Achieve Seamless Alignment: Successfully influence global platform decisions by articulating regional requirements, ensuring global rollouts integrate smoothly in Sweden. Drive Automation & IaC: Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and automation workflows to streamline regional deployments and minimize operational toil. Guarantee Operational Stability: Maintain strict Service Level Objectives (SLOs), serving as the senior escalation point for complex incidents and driving root-cause preventions. Optimize Resources: Balance local vendor relationships and technical resource utilization to maintain cost efficiency without compromising performance. Why You’ll Love Working Here High Strategic Visibility: You aren't just managing local tickets—you hold a seat at the table in global technical decision-making. Hands-On Leadership: Enjoy the best of both worlds: leading and developing a tight-knit engineering team while staying close to complex, technical problem-solving. Matrixed Autonomy: Thrive in an environment that trusts you to balance local business needs with global operational excellence. Mission-Critical Scale: Work with robust enterprise stacks (virtualization, networking, firewalls, IaC) where reliability directly impacts core business operations. Who You Are What You Bring to the Table (Must-Haves): 5+ years of experience in technology operations, with recent experience in a team lead or principal engineering role. Deep Technical Stack Expertise: Hands-on proficiency across VMware, Linux, Windows, Cisco/Extreme switching, and Fortigate Firewalls/VPNs . Automation & IaC Mindset: Strong practical experience using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and scripting to drive consistency and operational reliability. Cross-Cultural Leadership: Exceptional communication skills with a proven track record of mentoring engineers and influencing global, multi-cultural teams. Reliability & Security Focus: Solid understanding of monitoring, incident response, and enforcing security/compliance standards. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience. Nice-to-Haves (Bonus Points!): Project management experience or background executing structured technical rollouts. Experience navigating technical compliance in highly regulated environments (e.g., defense, finance, or government). Vendor management skills and financial/cost-awareness for regional operations. The Logistics Work Arrangement: Hybrid working model based in Sweden. Travel: Minimal (occasional travel for global team alignment or key regional projects).
