The platform is built on a modern AWS serverless stack, and its AI/LLM features aren't a roadmap slide - LLM-based document classification and retrieval-augmented generation for decision support are already live in production. The company is in the middle of an interesting shift: from a services business to a product/platform company, and it's scaling its Poland-based engineering organisation to match.\nThat's where you come in. It's a newly created role - the first dedicated technical leadership hire embedded with the Polish team: ~15 engineers across backend, frontend, AI/ML and data squads, plus QA, DevOps and design. You'll report to the company's part-time/fractional CIO, who currently coordinates delivery directly, take over day-to-day technical ownership of the team, and become the primary technical point of contact for senior client stakeholders.\nRequirements\nWhat you'll own\nDay-to-day technical leadership across multiple engineering squads (backend, frontend, AI/ML, data) plus QA and DevOps\n\nEngineering quality, code review standards, and technical debt management on a modern AWS serverless stack (Lambda, Python/FastAPI, Angular/TypeScript)\n\nArchitectural coherence across squads, flagging strategic changes to the CIO\n\nSprint-level delivery planning, estimation, and cross-squad dependency management\n\nBeing the primary technical contact for senior client stakeholders - translating delivery status and technical risk into business terms\n\nSupporting hiring and technical growth of the team as it scales over the next 12-18 months\n\nRequirements\nHard skills:\n10+ years in software engineering, including 4+ years in a technical leadership role (Tech Lead, Engineering Manager, or similar) across multiple teams\n\nExperience leading distributed or offshore engineering teams, ideally in a client-facing or vendor-delivery context\n\nFull-stack fluency; hands-on experience with AWS serverless architectures, Python, and modern frontend frameworks (Angular or similar) strongly preferred\n\nSoft skills & logistics:\nComfortable being the technical face of a team to senior, non-technical stakeholders\n\nFluent professional English\n\nBased in or near Poland, with reasonable overlap with US business hours\n\nNice to have\nExposure to AI/LLM-integrated features (document processing, RAG pipelines, or similar)\n\nExperience in a regulated industry (healthcare, fintech, or government-adjacent)\n\nWhat we offer\nUp to 180 PLN/h net (B2B, VAT invoice)\n\nRemote/hybrid from Poland, full-time, permanent\n\nWork with AI/LLM features already live in production (LLM-based document classification, RAG for decision support)\n\nGrowth path toward a senior/VP-level engineering leadership position within 12-24 months","description_format":"text","description_chars":3019,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-25T09:22:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.164,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":107,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:4","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":92000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/digital-forms-technology-lead-engineering-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/digital-forms-technology-lead-engineering-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T15:57:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21289,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4041613},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4041613"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdigital-forms-technology-lead-engineering-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdigital-forms-technology-lead-engineering-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdigital-forms-technology-lead-engineering-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/digital-forms-technology-lead-engineering-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdigital-forms-technology-lead-engineering-lead"}]}
