Lead Engineer - Commodities
Kpler, Athens
The role
As an Lead Engineer, you will lead teams at the centre of this domain as we modernise a business-critical platform and move towards a more modular, scalable and AI-native architecture. You will be responsible for building a high-performing and sustainable engineering environment: developing people, improving delivery, strengthening operational ownership and enabling Technical Leads and senior engineers to make strong technical decisions. The role is well suited to either an existing Engineering Manager or an experienced Technical Lead or senior engineer ready to take their first formal step into management.
What you will do
- Guide the teams through the platform transformation, helping engineers understand, influence and adopt the new direction.
- Partner with Product and domain stakeholders to shape the roadmap around customer value, data quality and business outcomes.
- Develop Technical Leads and senior engineers, delegating decisions to the people with the strongest context while keeping accountability clear.
- Maintain enough technical depth to lead credibly, challenge assumptions and support sound decision-making without becoming the default technical owner.
