Your responsibilities as an Engineering lead

As Engineering lead you'll design the scalable, secure backbone of Eolian's cloud-native solution, and you'll continuously streamline how their engineers and scientists work, by identifying and preventing bottlenecks, and enabling quick delivery, leaving quality out of the compromise. 
Your goal will be to make engineers and data scientists independent, by contributing to the shared set of development practices and by removing technical roadblocks.

       Define & evolve architecture

Together with the tech teams, help building coherent and high-quality components, from planning to design and implementation phases.Translate product requirements into high-level system blueprints (data flows, APIs, DevOps). Define technical requirements and definition of done.Select technology stacks and architectural patterns that balance development speed, maintainability, performance, and costs
Lead technical executionCollaborate with team leads on detailed designs, code reviews, and proof-of-concepts.Establish and enforce best practices, meaningful coding standards, and modularization.
Promote development independenceMake sure everyone is aligned with the shared development practices, making different teams to develop coherent components.Map and measure the entire developer lifecycle, from onboarding to deployment, to spot friction points. Identify and solve roadblocks.Promote the development of best‑in‑class CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions or AWS-based). Develop self‑service tooling and templates for common service patterns, and infrastructure provisioning.
Foster engineering excellenceMentor engineers in system design, testing, and DevOps best practices.Help scientists to improve the design of models and data pipelines.Review designs, coach on patterns, and cultivate a culture of continuous improvement.
