This is a key technical role in Lattec’s R&D Software organisation, where you will provide day-to-day technical leadership within the backend/SRE domain while remaining close to the code, architecture and production systems.\n\nLattec, based in Allerød, Denmark, has achieved significant international success with its advanced solutions for modern dairy farming. The company develops proactive analytical and sensor systems that monitor the health of dairy cows on farms, serving customers worldwide. Lattec has a strong multidisciplinary team of approx. 60 employees, around 30 in R&D including software developers, hardware, electronics and mechanical engineers, as well as chemical engineers, veterinarians and biologists.\n\nThe role as Backend Tech Lead / SRE\n\nIn this role, you will take technical ownership of the backend/SRE domain and translate overall technical direction into daily engineering execution. You will guide backend developers, contribute directly to development and strengthen the reliability, observability and operational maturity of the platform.\n\nLattec’s Tech Leads collaborate closely across Device, Backend/SRE and Frontend, recognising cross-team collaboration as essential to sharing priorities, managing dependencies and aligning technical decisions. This ensures a common direction and helps identify integration risks early.\n\nWhat you will do\n\nLead the day-to-day technical work within the backend/SRE domain.\n\nActively contribute to backend development and remain close to the code and technology.\n\nProvide technical direction, support architectural decisions and help resolve complex technical challenges.\n\nTake technical ownership of SRE, reliability, observability and operability.\n\nImprove monitoring, incident handling, CI/CD, automation and deployment practices.\n\nDrive good engineering practices, code quality, maintainability and documentation.\n\nWork with AWS-based backend technologies, focusing on scalable, secure and reliable solutions.\n\nWork closely with the R&D Software Lead to translate overall R&D priorities into clear backend/SRE priorities, ensuring that incoming tasks are understood, assessed and handled in line with the wider R&D direction.\n\nTech stack and your experience\n\nWe expect you to bring strong, hands-on experience with several of the core technologies used in the AWS backend platform, including:\n\nPython for backend services, automation, data processing and AWS Lambda development.\n\nTypeScript for modern backend services, tooling, infrastructure definitions and integrations where relevant.\n\nAWS Lambda and serverless architecture, including event-driven design, scalability, security and operational robustness.\n\nInfrastructure as Code (IaC), such as AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform or similar tools, to ensure repeatable and maintainable cloud infrastructure.\n\nGraphQL for new APIs, including schema design, resolver implementation, API versioning, performance considerations and alignment with frontend consumers.\n\nAWS services commonly used in backend platforms, such as API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS, EventBridge, CloudWatch and IAM.\n\nCI/CD pipelines, automated testing, deployment automation and production monitoring in an AWS environment.\n\nAbout you\n\nYou are a senior backend engineer who enjoys combining hands-on development with technical leadership. You are comfortable making technical decisions, guiding other developers and taking responsibility for systems that need to run reliably in production.\n\nYou likely bring:\n\nStrong backend engineering experience, preferably in cloud-native or serverless environments.\n\nA practical understanding of SRE, observability and operating production systems.\n\nExperience designing APIs and integrations, ideally using GraphQL.\n\nA pragmatic approach to guiding technical decisions, fostering open collaboration and keeping momentum high.\n\nA collaborative mindset and the ability to work across frontend, backend and device boundaries.\n\nA focus on quality, security and maintainable solutions.\n\nFluency in English and Danish is essential.\n\nWhat makes this role different\n\nThis is a technical leadership role, not a people-management position. You lead through technical expertise, collaboration and active involvement in development, staying close to the code while providing the direction needed to ensure the backend/SRE domain evolves in line with the wider platform.\n\nThe Lattec mindset\n\nBe curious, experiment and take pride in making things work better.\n\nAsk “What is the system actually doing?” — not just “Is this a software problem?”\n\nWork across disciplines and take responsibility for the whole solution.\n\nDeliver precise data that helps farmers make better decisions.\n\nBuild reliable systems that reduce downtime and give peace of mind.\n\nMake advanced technology simple, so customers get the value without the hassle.\n\nWhy join Lattec?\n\nAt Lattec, you will work on technology that supports modern dairy farming and contributes to better animal welfare through advanced digital solutions. You will join a focused engineering environment where backend, frontend and device development work closely together to create robust and scalable products.\n\nProduct development at Lattec is a shared, creative journey where Product Managers, R&D specialists and engineers combine domain knowledge and technical expertise to create real value for farmers.\n\nLattec offers a high degree of flexibility and excellent employee benefits, including five weeks of annual holiday, five additional days off, four extra Lattec days off, a pension scheme, health insurance and a lunch scheme with themed lunch days.\n\nMore about the company\n\nLattec I/S was founded in 2001 and employs approx. 60 people in Allerød, with a few additional employees based in Fredericia. The company is owned by the Swedish company DeLaval, which has more than 4,500 employees worldwide.\n\nYou will become part of a company with dedicated employees, a flat organisational structure and an informal working environment, where teamwork, collaboration and professional excellence are highly valued.\n\nRead more at www.lattec.com.\n\nAre you interested in joining Lattec?\n\nPlease do not hesitate to apply by sending your CV and a short application.
