Technical Lead

Technical Lead

Remobi | Remote (candidates must be currently based in Romania, Poland, or Serbia) | B2B/Freelance/Contract | Initially until September, with a 6–12 month extension expected

We are Remobi - we help businesses scale and innovate through high-performing, remote nearshore tech teams.

We're hiring a Tech Lead to work hands-on within a single agile development team, combining strong software engineering expertise with team mentoring and technical ownership. Think ~40-60% of your time actively coding, the rest guiding a team of developers and owning technical decisions - not a purely managerial role, but hands-on leadership where you're still in the codebase.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement software solutions as a hands-on contributor, actively writing and reviewing code
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for external stakeholders, owning implementation decisions
• Mentor and guide a team of 4-6 developers, supporting their technical growth
• Help resolve complex technical and functional issues during development
• Work closely with Product Owners to translate requirements into implementable designs
• Ensure alignment with defined architecture guidelines within the team
• Ensure code quality through reviews, best practices, and standards
• Drive hands-on technical decisions (API design, service design, implementation patterns and code structure)
• Deliver high-quality, scalable, and maintainable code
• Act as the bridge between requirements and implementation, reducing technical risk and unblocking delivery

What We're Looking For

Must-have:

• 8-12 years hands-on software development experience
• Proven experience as a Tech Lead or Senior Developer in agile teams
• Backend-focused expertise with exposure to frontend (C#, .NET, APIs; React/Flutter a plus)
• Microservices and APIs
• Cloud platform experience (AWS or equivalent), including cloud-native builds and deployments
• Hands-on container/orchestration knowledge (Kubernetes, Docker, Podman)

Nice-to-have:

• Working knowledge of auth/access control (Entra ID, RBAC), observability, and messaging/event-driven patterns (Kafka, MQTT)
• Ability to troubleshoot cloud, deployment, and runtime issues
• Proficiency in C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL (Flutter a plus)
• Strong analytical, coaching, and stakeholder communication skills

Why This Role

You'll be the technical backbone of a single agile team - shipping code yourself while shaping how the team builds. If you want ownership over architecture and implementation without stepping away from hands-on engineering, this is that role.
