Software Team Lead - C#/.NET (m/f/n)

Summary

We’re looking for a technical team leader who combines people leadership with hands-on software engineering in C#.

You’ll lead a team of 9 engineers working on API gateways, Syslog export services, and integration management for the ESET XDR platform. The team owns the full software lifecycle — from architecture and development through CI/CD and monitoring to 3rd-level production support.

Job description

This is not a pure management role — you’re expected to stay close to the technology, support technical decisions, and actively help the team solve engineering challenges.

Expected split: ~70% technical / 30% leadership.

The team is based in Brno (Czechia) and collaborates closely with engineering teams in Kraków (Poland) and Bratislava (Slovakia).

What you’ll do

• Lead a team of 9 engineers (mentoring, evaluation, feedback, growth)
• Support technical design and architecture decisions within the team
• Drive delivery together with Product Owners and Scrum Master
• Work closely with engineering teams across ESET
• Improve engineering practices, code quality, CI/CD, and observability
• Stay hands-on when needed (coding, code reviews, debugging, unblocking the team)
• Support production operations and continuous improvement of owned services

What we expect

• Experience leading a software engineering team
• Solid experience with C# and .NET development
• Experience designing and operating backend services and APIs
• Understanding of distributed systems and software architecture principles
• Experience with CI/CD
• Experience containerized applications
• Experience monitoring and troubleshooting production systems
• Strong communication skills and cross-team collaboration
• English proficiency (daily communication)

Nice to have

• Experience with Azure cloud services
• Experience with Kubernetes (AKS) and Docker
• Experience with Jenkins
• Experience with API gateways, integrations, or messaging systems (SIEM)
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams
