Team Lead Engineering

Unleash is an open source feature management platform that helps development teams experiment faster while reducing the risks of releasing software in production. Our mantra is “Create with freedom. Release with confidence.”

Modern software teams move fast, but releasing safely is still one of the hardest parts of building software. That is why we created Unleash. Our platform allows teams to separate deployment from release, run controlled experiments, and roll out new functionality safely in production through feature flags, gradual rollouts, and experimentation.

What started as an open source project on Git Hub in 2015 became a company in Oslo in 2019. Today, Unleash is used by thousands of development teams worldwide, from startups to large enterprises running mission critical systems. We recently announced our Series B funding and continue to scale globally as a remote first company.

As we grow, we are making a deliberate investment in engineering leadership. We are building a small group of experienced Team Leads who, alongside contributing hands on as engineers, will help develop the exceptional technical talent already inside the company. This role is designed for senior engineers who care deeply about both technical quality and creating the conditions for a team to thrive.

As a Team Lead at Unleash, you will split your time roughly 70/30 between hands on engineering and leading a squad of four engineers.

You will stay close to the platform and the code while also taking real ownership of your squad’s growth, delivery, and team health. This is not a role where leadership happens separately from engineering. We believe the best coaching happens close to the work itself through collaboration, feedback, technical discussions, and shared ownership of outcomes.

You will work on a modern platform built around Type Script, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS.

• Take end to end ownership of features from discovery and design to deployment and improvements in production
• Work closely with product managers and designers to understand developer needs and shape solutions early
• Contribute to product discovery through technical input, prototypes, and experimentation

• Maintain high engineering standards across frontend and backend systems
• Improve reliability, scalability, performance, and maintainability of the platform
• Contribute to architectural discussions and long term technical direction

• Apply site reliability engineering principles to improve stability and reduce operational overhead
• Help automate operational workflows and improve developer experience internally
• Support investigation of production incidents and customer impacting issues when needed

• Coach the engineers in your squad through day to day collaboration aligned to what they are actually building
• Support each engineer’s growth through feedback, and development conversations
• Create an environment where engineers feel supported, challenged, and able to do their best work

• Drive performance reviews and contribute to promotion and compensation discussions together with the engineering director
• Act as hiring manager for your squad, from defining needs to evaluating candidates and making hiring decisions
• Help maintain a healthy balance between autonomy, alignment, and ownership.

• Work closely with the other team leads and engineering leadership to improve process, culture, and engineering effectiveness across the organization
• Help shape how engineering leadership evolves as the company continues to scale
