Software Engineering Team Leader (Python)
Madfish
Lead a senior team building a high-impact cybersecurity analytics platform used by global enterprises
Who we are:
Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries.
About the Product
You’ll work on a cloud-native cybersecurity analytics platform used by Fortune-500 companies and global enterprises to understand and strengthen their security posture. It processes massive datasets, models attack paths, and uses AI-driven, graph-based analytics to surface the risks that truly matter.
The product is scaling fast, expanding to the SMB market across 32 European countries, and backed by a $100M+ growth investment round.
About the Role
We’re forming a new engineering team and looking for a hands-on Python Team Leader.
You’ll lead a group of senior engineers, drive architecture decisions, and stay deeply involved in coding, debugging, and performance optimization. You’ll own the design and delivery of new features end-to-end, working on a system built for scale, accuracy, and real-world security impact.
The role requires close collaboration with product and engineering teams to translate complex technical challenges into clean, reliable solutions.
Why This Role Stands Out
✔ High-impact product used by major enterprises, built on real attack modeling and risk quantification
✔ Deep technical challenges- large-scale pipelines, distributed computation, graph modeling, real-time correlation
✔ Modern tech stack- Python, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Redis
✔ Lead a high-bar team: 3 Senior Python + 1 Senior Angular engineer
✔ Backed by $100M+ investment and expanding across Europe
✔ Remote-first with strong support and competitive compensation
What You Bring
- 2+ years leading engineering teams
- 5+ years of software development experience
- Strong Python expertise
- Experience with AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis
- Practical user-level experience working with Dockerized services and Kubernetes-based environments.
