You'll lead a team of engineers, own the reliability and evolution of that platform end to end, and give the team real space to push the developer experience work it's most excited about.\nThe Role\nAt Netlight, “Team Lead” is a defined role: you lead the team with a mix of Engineering Manager responsibilities (people health, tech health, and business impact) and Product Manager ones (problem discovery, stakeholder management, prioritization). You set direction and remove blockers day to day; goals, budget envelopes, and hiring decisions are set together with the Head of Tech, whom you’ll report directly to.\nWith your help, we want to:\nTurn hard-won operational know-how into documented, resilient team capability - so uptime doesn’t depend on any one person’s memory.\nMature the team’s Builder Experience Foundation work - turning today’s developer sandbox environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP into genuinely production-grade platforms.\nBuild out the AI Platform's tooling and workflows so every builder at Netlight can adopt AI-assisted development with confidence and speed. \nEstablish clear standards and self-service paths for platform onboarding, so new teams and projects can build on solid infrastructure from day one.\nWho you are\nStrong prioritization skills - comfortable running the role with a product mindset, balancing competing asks across the team.\nExperience building or running a platform “as a product” - self-service paths, golden paths, service catalogs - rather than just keeping infrastructure operational. \nSelf-driven innovative mindset.\nA track record of advocating assertively for your team with leadership and stakeholders.\nStrong communication skills - able to translate technical trade-offs into business terms for non-technical stakeholders, and vice versa.\nQualifications\nAt least 3 years of experience leading software engineering teams.\nWorking knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure and/or GCP) - enough to make informed calls and earn credibility with the team, even if you’re not hands-on daily.\nA track record of turning ambiguous, high-pressure situations into smooth, well-run operations.\nWork from a Netlight office at least 3 days per week.\nFluent in English. \nSwedish or German is a plus.\nNice to have:\nExperience with GitLab CI/CD or similar developer infrastructure platforms.\nWorking in a Developer Experience or Platform Building group/team/area.\nDirect experience with specific AI coding assistants or building custom LLM-based dev tooling.\nFamiliarity with cloud cost governance / FinOps.\nWhat you will do\nYou’ll lead a small but senior platform team responsible for everything from cloud landing zones to AI Tooling and surrounding builder-experience components (monitoring, CI/CD, service catalogue) - a team with real appetite to shift more energy into cloud and builder infrastructure, and your leadership is what makes that shift possible. You’ll work closely with the Head of Tech, Operations and Tech teams.\nYour key responsibilities will be to:\nTeam leadership and development : Set direction, coach, and grow a team of engineers; build a culture where ideas and concerns surface early.\nOperational oversight: Own the day-to-day health of our cloud infrastructure and builder-experience platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Maintain oversight of GitLab and CI/CD infrastructure supporting Builders. Lead the documentation and knowledge-sharing work that makes the platform resilient by design, so uptime doesn't depend on any one person's memory.\nPlanning and execution: Shape the cloud infrastructure and AI Platform roadmap across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Balance stabilization work against the team's ambition to build strong builder infrastructure and sandbox environments across all three clouds, and drive the adoption of AI-assisted development tooling.\nCommunication and collaboration: Represent your team’s needs and constraints upward and advocate for them directly. Work with the team before making commitments that affect their scope, capacity, or working conditions.\n Culture and engagement: Close the loop on feedback and follow through on commitments; build trust through consistency.\nWhat we offer\nThe possibility to be a core part of one of the most successful IT-consultancy companies in the industry - and contribute to the continued growth of our thriving Stockholm office.\nProfessional development and long-term career progression through knowledge sharing, mentorship, feedback, coaching, and external training\nModern and centrally located offices in Stockholm or Munich\nA culture centered around community, collaboration, and continuous learning, complemented by social and competence-building events\nEverything you need to do your magic (computer, phone, mobile subscription) \nMental health & parental support offerings \n30 days of paid vacation. \nSpecific benefit package if positioned in Munich:\nDeutschlandticket\nWellpass \nSpecific benefit package if positioned in Stockholm:\n5000 sek / year in health care benefit (“friskvård”) \nPrivate pension savings","description_format":"text","description_chars":5196,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":3,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T17:52:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":32,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.541,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":62,"expected_fill_days":63,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/netlight-platform-team-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/netlight-platform-team-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T05:15:19Z","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":7372,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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":56534},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=56534"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnetlight-platform-team-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%2Fnetlight-platform-team-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%2Fnetlight-platform-team-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/netlight-platform-team-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnetlight-platform-team-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":483301}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"netlight.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":483301},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
