# Tech Lead

### Build the Future of Manufacturing

📍 **Hackney, London** (3 days in-office / 2 remote)

💰 **Highly Competitive + Equity**

## The Mission

Geomiq is building the operating system for manufacturing.

Our platform connects engineers with a global manufacturing network, using software, data and AI to simplify one of the world's most complex industries.

We're looking for a hands-on Tech Lead to own our backend architecture while driving the next generation of AI-powered automation across the business. From intelligent internal tools to AI agents and workflow automation, you'll help redefine how Geomiq operates.

## The Role: Lead from the Front

This is a technical-first leadership role. You won't just manage—you'll architect, build and ship.

- **Write Production Code:** You'll be in the codebase (Laravel/Python) every day.

- **Architect Systems:** Design scalable services, APIs and data pipelines powering our global marketplace.

- **Build with AI:** Create AI-powered internal tools, agents and automations that improve productivity across Engineering, Operations, Sales and Supply Chain.

- **Automate Business Workflows:** Work closely with teams across the business to identify manual processes and use AI, APIs and automation to eliminate repetitive work.

- **Lead Senior Talent:** Mentor a high-calibre team of engineers and data scientists while maintaining a high engineering bar.

- **Shape the Technical Roadmap:** Partner with the CEO and Product team to define the future architecture of the platform.

**This is not a Jira-ticket management role.** We value builders who move quickly, solve problems and use technology—including AI—to create measurable business impact.

## The Stack

- **Backend:** Laravel (PHP) – Essential

- **Frontend:** Vue.js / JavaScript

- **AI & Automation:** Python, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, AI Agents, n8n, APIs and workflow automation

- **Data:** SQL, data pipelines and analytics

- **Infrastructure:** API-first architecture, cloud platforms and third-party integrations

## Who You Are

- A senior software engineer first and a leader second.

- Deep experience building production systems with Laravel.

- Comfortable designing scalable architectures, APIs and data models.

- Passionate about using AI to improve engineering productivity and automate business processes.

- Experienced integrating LLMs, APIs and modern automation platforms into real products or internal tooling.

- Startup-minded, pragmatic and comfortable balancing speed with long-term architecture.

- Someone who enjoys solving business problems with technology—not just writing code.

## Why Geomiq?

- **Real Impact:** Build software and AI systems used every day to power global manufacturing.

- **Ownership:** High trust, high autonomy and the ability to influence company-wide technology decisions.

- **Modern Engineering:** Work with the latest AI models, automation platforms and engineering tools.

- **Equity:** Help shape the future of a category-defining company while sharing in its success.

## What This Role Is Not

- ❌ A pure people-management role.

- ❌ A meetings-first or process-heavy environment.

- ❌ A company where AI is an experiment rather than a core part of how we build and operate.

If you're excited about building world-class software, leading exceptional engineers and using AI to transform how an entire business operates, we'd love to hear from you.
