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
