Tech Lead
Geomiq · London, United Kingdom · full time · March 03, 2026
Why a CV for this job?
- They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
- It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
- In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
- Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.
The Role: Lead from the Front
This is a technical-first leadership role. You won't just manage—you'll architect, build and ship.
- Write Production Code: You'll be in the codebase (Laravel/Python) every day.
- Architect Systems: Design scalable services, APIs and data pipelines powering our global marketplace.
- Build with AI: Create AI-powered internal tools, agents and automations that improve productivity across Engineering, Operations, Sales and Supply Chain.
- Automate Business Workflows: Work closely with teams across the business to identify manual processes and use AI, APIs and automation to eliminate repetitive work.
- Lead Senior Talent: Mentor a high-calibre team of engineers and data scientists while maintaining a high engineering bar.
- Shape the Technical Roadmap: Partner with the CEO and Product team to define the future architecture of the platform.
This is not a Jira-ticket management role. We value builders who move quickly, solve problems and use technology—including AI—to create measurable business impact.
Why Geomiq?
- Real Impact: Build software and AI systems used every day to power global manufacturing.
- Ownership: High trust, high autonomy and the ability to influence company-wide technology decisions.
- Modern Engineering: Work with the latest AI models, automation platforms and engineering tools.
- Equity: Help shape the future of a category-defining company while sharing in its success.
Who You Are
- A senior software engineer first and a leader second.
- Deep experience building production systems with Laravel.
- Comfortable designing scalable architectures, APIs and data models.
- Passionate about using AI to improve engineering productivity and automate business processes.
- Experienced integrating LLMs, APIs and modern automation platforms into real products or internal tooling.
- Startup-minded, pragmatic and comfortable balancing speed with long-term architecture.
- Someone who enjoys solving business problems with technology—not just writing code.

The Mission
Geomiq is building the operating system for manufacturing.
Our platform connects engineers with a global manufacturing network, using software, data and AI to simplify one of the world's most complex industries.
We're looking for a hands-on Tech Lead to own our backend architecture while driving the next generation of AI-powered automation across the business. From intelligent internal tools to AI agents and workflow automation, you'll help redefine how Geomiq operates.
The Stack
- Backend: Laravel (PHP) – Essential
- Frontend: Vue.js / JavaScript
- AI & Automation: Python, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, AI Agents, n8n, APIs and workflow automation
- Data: SQL, data pipelines and analytics
- Infrastructure: API-first architecture, cloud platforms and third-party integrations
What This Role Is Not
- ❌ A pure people-management role.
- ❌ A meetings-first or process-heavy environment.
- ❌ A company where AI is an experiment rather than a core part of how we build and operate.
If you're excited about building world-class software, leading exceptional engineers and using AI to transform how an entire business operates, we'd love to hear from you.
