Technical Lead

Tech Lead (India) Help Build WebLagers Next Engineering Hub

Location: India office

Team: Product & Development

Reporting to: Head of Product & Development

Why this role exists

WebLager is scaling fast, and 2026 will be a breakout year. Were building an Indian IT office that’s not an outsourced extension of Denmark. This is a real “build it right from day one” leadership role.

You’ll be our right hand in India — shaping the team, culture, and delivery. If you want to build something meaningful that’s expected to grow a lot next year, keep reading.

What you’ll do

You’re not here to babysit Jira. You’re here to ship, lead, and raise the bar.

• Build and lead our India engineering team from early stage into real scale in 2026.
• Set standards for quality and delivery — clean code, stable systems, smart execution.
• Coach and grow people across levels: students, juniors, mid-levels, seniors.
• Create a local WebLager community that feels like one company, not two offices.
• Work tightly with Denmark on product, architecture, and delivery — as a partner, not a follower.
• Stay hands-on: design, code, review, refactor, deploy.
• Scale enterprise systems: performance, reliability, maintainability, observability.
• Improve how we work: CI/CD, engineering rituals, docs that matter, fewer surprises.
• Be the technical anchor when things are complex, messy, or moving fast.

What you bring

We don’t care about buzzwords. We care about proof you can build and lead.

Must-haves:

• 5+ years as a developer, with real production systems behind you.
• Strong backend skills — ideally Python or another scripting language, plus Java/C# or similar, and also extensive database knowledge of both relational and non-relational databases.
• Frontend experience with a reactive framework like Angular, React, Vue, etc.
• Experience scaling enterprise-grade systems and making architecture tradeoffs that hold up.
• You’ve led people before (formally or naturally) and enjoy helping others grow.
• Excellent problem-solving skills — you don’t freeze when things are unclear; you untangle them.
• Near-perfect English (spoken and written). This is non-negotiable — you’ll work daily across countries and levels.
• You take ownership by default and don’t need a map for every step.

Nice-to-haves:

• You’ve helped build or grow a team from scratch.
• Cloud + DevOps experience.
• Product-minded engineering: you care about outcomes, not just tasks

The kind of person who’ll thrive here

Let’s be direct:

• You’re driven to create real results, not just “do your part.”
• You want to build something from the ground up and shape the future of a company.
• You lead with calm, clarity, and high standards.
• You’re motivated beyond the norm — you don’t settle for “good enough.”
• You know a Tech Lead is someone who steps up, helps others win, and keeps shipping.
• You’re hungry to learn, and confident enough to challenge weak solutions.

The kind of person who won’t

Also direct:

• If you expect everything to be built around you, look for another job.
• If you want Denmark to hand you tasks, this isn’t it.
• If you avoid responsibility or hard conversations, this will hurt.
• If “average and comfortable” is your goal, don’t apply.

We’re building an exceptional team. Mediocre doesn’t survive here.

What you get

• Direct partnership with Danish leadership and product org.
• Real influence over architecture, standards, and execution.
