Hi!

Looking for an AI-first Golang Team Lead Golang Engineer (ASAP)

(Please send контакт скрыт candidates only with the relevant skills specified in the white-label CVs!)

Workload: full-time, 40 hours per week
Start: asap but can be discussed
Duration: long-term
Location: any remote, preferably within ±3 hours of CET
English: B2-C1
Budget: up to 33-34 USD per hour

We are looking for a highly capable AI-First Golang Team Lead Engineer to join a project where they&;ll build an AI tourism platform. This is not a traditional coding role. We don’t need coders; we need engineers who build features end-to-end using AI coding tools (Claude Code preferably!).

Details:
- CRITICAL: 2-3+ years of technical leadership experience leading a team, squad, pod, or similar unit (a hard must). Demonstrable experience of leading delivery within a team: coordinating, breaking work down, representing the team in planning and stakeholder conversations, facilitating outcomes.
- CRITICAL: Senior Golang Developer, 5+ years of experience
- CRITICAL: AI-first delivery: proven, demonstrable experience using Claude Code or similar agentic AI tools is a hard must (specific examples expected on the application).
- CRITICAL: Strong proficiency in English (Upper-intermediate level or Advanced)
- Hands-on engineering position
- Not a people-management role

Information about the project& company:
AI tourism platform looking for a Team Lead Product Engineer who uses AI to ship fast.

Our stack:
Backend: Go monorepo (no framework, 3+ services)
Hosting: PaaS-managed containers, local setup fully mirrors production via Docker Compose
Tools: Jaeger tracing, Betterstack (Logging, Alerting), Redis Asynq queue
Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis
AI tooling: Claude Code (mandatory)

Products you will lead a pod on:
● An AI search & recommendation engine for major travel enterprises: heavy client integration work (SSO, security reviews, GDS integrations) with demanding enterprise customers
● A content enrichment API: high-scale, data- and AI-focused backend work
● Partner and supplier integrations, data ingestion pipelines, LLM providers

You must have:
● 2-3+ years of technical leadership experience leading a team, squad, pod or similar unit (a hard must, think team lead or early-stage engineering manager)
● A developer&;s background (5 years minimum): you have seen production reality with your own hands before moving towards leading people
● A genuinely product-driven mindset: you think about user value and business outcomes before implementation
● Comfort facilitating and coordinating a pod without relying on formal authority
● Willingness and ability to take part in client meetings and act as the external face of your pod
● Excellent spoken and written English for planning sessions, stakeholder updates and client conversations
● Ownership mentality with a strive for elegantly simple, high-quality solutions; you test your own work thoroughly since we have no QA team
- Proven experience using Claude Code; share specific examples
- ⚠️ European or African time zones (±3 hours from CET)
- Available full-time (40 hours/week). Must-Have Requirements (Team Lead — no flexibility on any)
- Go (Golang): Real production experience, not just personal projects. No flexibility on other technologies.
- AI/backend engineering: Deep knowledge of building and productionizing complex AI systems — observability, reliability, quality
- English communication: Very strong, given client-facing responsibilities
-Client-facing responsibilities begin from onboarding, with full client-facing ownership expected to grow over time
Also, they will have on-call duties (now it’s during working hours and weekends, rotation among team members, but later they want to have 24/7 on call, so one person will be on-call for 24 hours (probably) and it will be compensated extra).  Desirable skills (would be a benefit): Any special requirements for the person
