We are looking for a Backend Lead Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, product-driven environment. This is a highly technical, hands-on role (90% coding, 10% leadership), where you’ll both lead a team of backend engineers and actively contribute to the codebase. You’ll help shape the architecture, guide best practices, and ensure the team delivers high-quality solutions.

The Company

Is a fast-growing tech scale-up on a mission to make complex real estate data simple, actionable, and accessible. With more than 1000 active customers and 45+ employees, they have built one of Denmark’s most scalable and exiting B2B platforms – all without raising major VC funding. The culture is defined by curiosity, speed, and freedom under responsibility. They move fast, stay close to their users, and value people who take initiative and build with purpose.

Job Scope

• Lead a backend team of 4 engineers while staying fully engaged in development

• Architect and implement backend features and services (Python-based stack)

• Work with technologies like PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Neo4j, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS

• Collaborate closely with stakeholders, product managers, and other engineers

• Drive best practices in engineering, code quality, and testing

• Help maintain a modern, scalable, and reliable infrastructure

• Explore and model Danish real estate datasets to power valuable user insights

Ideal Candidate

• 8+ years of backend development experience – preferably in Python or similar languages

• Experience mentoring or leading technical teams (formal or informal)

• Strong engineering mindset – pragmatic, product-aware, and collaborative

• Comfortable in startup or scale-up environments (ideally 50–300 employees)

• Autodidacts are welcome – proven ability matters more than titles

• Fluent in Danish

• Not a fit if you prefer high-structure enterprise environments – we work lean, fast, and close to the code

Benefits

• Office-first culture in central Copenhagen with flexibility (remote Tuesdays & Thursdays)

• High trust, low bureaucracy – your voice matters

• Lunch and soda program

• Opportunity to shape a critical part of a fast-scaling product

• A fun, ambitious, and international team with a strong engineering culture
