Bending Spoons

<div>
 At Bending Spoons, we&rsquo;re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers. A company where team members grow to their full potential. A company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A company that creates value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate. And a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 In pursuit of this objective, we acquire and improve digital businesses, not to sell on, but to own and operate for the long term. The transformations we make are often deep&mdash;designed to speed up innovation, benefit customers, and strengthen business performance. Here, hierarchy is minimal and teams are small and talent-dense. We operate established products with the ambition, agility, and urgency of a startup. Across the company, we integrate AI deeply into how we work so that human judgment and machine intelligence reinforce each other.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That&rsquo;s our promise to such a candidate.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  A few examples of your responsibilities
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Build software that matters.
   </strong>
   Take real ownership from idea to production, creating systems used by millions and evolving them into products at scale.
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Amplify your impact with AI.
   </strong>
   Integrate the most powerful AI tools directly into your development workflow&mdash;design, implementation, testing, and documentation&mdash;to move faster while maintaining high standards for correctness, reliability, and maintainability.
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Master your toolkit.
   </strong>
   Work across diverse stacks with end-to-end ownership, choosing the right technologies for each challenge. From monoliths to microservices, gRPC to REST, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust&mdash;you&rsquo;ll apply technologies thoughtfully, focusing on depth and purpose rather than trends.
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Simplify relentlessly.
   </strong>
   Question every layer of complexity. Improve architectures, pipelines, and codebases to build systems that are simpler, more scalable, and easier to maintain.

   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <strong>
  What we look for
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Reasoning ability.

  <li>
   <strong>
    Drive.
   </strong>
   You&rsquo;re extremely ambitious in everything you do&mdash;and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work. You hold yourself to a high&mdash;and rising&mdash;bar.
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Team spirit.
   </strong>
   You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You&rsquo;re reliable, honest, and transparent.
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Proficiency in English.
   </strong>
   You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.
   <br/>
   <br/>

 <strong>
  What we offer
 </strong>

    All. These. Benefits.
   </strong>

  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    A flexible start date and part-time options.
   </strong>
   You don't need to wait until graduation to apply. We offer flexible start dates and the possibility to begin part-time, transitioning to full-time as you complete your degree. Many Spooners joined before graduating and progressively took on greater responsibility, with arrangements that allowed them to do so without compromising their education.
  </li>
  <li>
   <strong>
    Competitive pay and access to equity in the company.
   </strong>
   Typically, we offer individuals with limited experience an annual salary of &pound;85,797 in London and &euro;66,065 elsewhere in Europe. For a candidate that we assess as possessing considerable relevant experience, the salary on offer tends to be between &pound;112,189 and &pound;250,512 in London, and &euro;107,837 and &euro;188,848 elsewhere in Europe. Compensation varies by location and expected impact, and grows rapidly as you gain experience and translate it into greater contributions. For individuals who demonstrate exceptional capability, we may offer compensation that extends beyond the usual ranges to reflect their higher expected impact. If you're offered a permanent contract, you'll also be able receive some of your pay in company equity at a discounted price, thus participating in the value creation we achieve together.

 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  The selection process
  <br/>
 </strong>
 In our screening process, we prioritize verifiable signals of excellence, regardless of seniority. There are no preferential paths beyond what your application demonstrates, and we evaluate every candidate through the same process.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Some people hold back because they feel they lack experience or have an &ldquo;imperfect&rdquo; CV. If you like the role and believe you could excel over time, don&rsquo;t self-reject.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 All applications go through our careers page, which is the only way to be considered. If you pass our screening, you&rsquo;ll be asked to complete one or more tests. They are challenging, may involve unfamiliar problems, and can take several hours. To learn more about what to expect throughout the selection process, you can find additional information here.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 We set the bar high and won&rsquo;t extend an offer until we&rsquo;re confident we&rsquo;ve found the right candidate. This is why a job may remain open for months or be reposted several times.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 We consider all applicants for employment and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities&mdash;please let us know through this form.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  Before you apply
  <br/>
 </strong>
 If you&rsquo;ve applied before but didn't receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We&rsquo;re extremely ambitious and we hold ourselves&mdash;and one another&mdash;to a high standard. While this tends to lead to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we expect you to spend most days in our Milan office during your first few months with us, regardless of your long-term work location. It&rsquo;s the best way to rapidly absorb our company culture and build trust with your new teammates. We&rsquo;ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you&rsquo;re welcome to work from one of our offices, or remotely from approved countries&mdash;depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 If the role speaks to you and you&rsquo;re excited to give your best, we&rsquo;d love to hear from you. Apply now&mdash;we can&rsquo;t wait to meet you.

We are looking for an empathetic, strategic, and technically grounded Team Lead Tech (m/f/d) to act as a hybrid &quot;Player-Coach&quot; for our squad. Simply put: You are the highest technical authority in your team. You set and defend the architectural direction while staying hands-on enough to maintain deep technical credibility and serve as a stabilizing anchor (&quot;The Lighthouse&quot;) for your team.</div></div></div><div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Your Objectives &amp; Role:</b></h2><div><ul><li><b>
Orchestrate Architecture:</b> Lead high-level architectural discussions and guide your squad through complex trade-offs. Defend the scalability, quality, and stability of our event-driven cloud infrastructure.</li><li><b>
Lead by Example:</b> Stay close to the metal. Actively contribute production-grade code, tackle core features, and conduct peer Merge Request reviews to elevate engineering standards.</li><li><b>
Empower High-Performing Teams:</b> Cultivate talent with deep empathy. You will develop and mentor engineers, fostering an environment of continuous feedback, psychological safety, and growth. By shielding your team from operational noise, you enable deep focus while consistently raising the bar for excellence across the department.</li><li><b>

Production Track Record:</b> You have designed, owned, and scaled distributed, event-driven systems at a meaningful scale (ideally within a fast-paced SaaS or IoT scale-up environment). You confidently defend architectural trade-offs (consistency, throughput, cost).</li><li><b>
Technical Fluency:</b> You are fluent in our primary backend stack (Node.js/TypeScript) or our IoT environment (C++, Python) and understand cloud architectures (AWS). You possess the technical depth to review a senior's MR, constructively challenge their logic, and help them improve.</li><li><b>
Agile Native:</b> You have deep proficiency with project management tools (Linear, Jira) and agile methodologies. You know how to use data to improve team velocity and release frequency.</li><li><b>
People-First Mentality:</b> You possess high emotional intelligence (EQ). You are proactive, empathetic, and capable of motivating a diverse team. You hold yourself and others accountable with kindness and clarity.</li><li><b>
Operational Rigor:</b> You are structured and conscientious. You can manage complex stakeholders and communicate effectively with both engineers and C-level executives.</li><li><b>
Communication:</b> Excellent English communication skills (C1+) are mandatory. German proficiency is a strong plus.</li></ul></div></div><div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
