Lead Software Engineer (Team Lead) — Billing Squad

Lead Software Engineer for the Billing Squad at C Teleport, a fast-growing travel tech company. Own the squad's technical direction for one of the company's most business-critical domains — invoicing, payments, reconciliation, VAT, and revenue recognition across multiple jurisdictions. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a hands-off management position. You set technical direction, contribute directly to the codebase, lead code reviews, partner with the Product Owner on the roadmap, mentor engineers, and serve as the technical counterpart to Product, Finance, and company leadership. Responsibilities include owning the squad's technical strategy, staying hands-on with code, collaborating on roadmap planning, challenging estimates and surfacing risks early, safeguarding production stability, enforcing coding standards, reducing technical debt, evaluating and adopting new technologies, mentoring engineers, and liaising between Engineering, Product, QA, Support, and Architecture. You'll work with a small, focused team of two senior full-time engineers and one QA engineer, working remotely across European time zones, with connection to the wider company from the Rotterdam office.
