Job description

Highly Competitive + Equity

Geomiq is the global OS for manufacturing. We bridge the gap between complex engineering and global production through AI‑driven automation and high‑performance logic. We are looking for a hands‑on leader to own our backend and data engineering as we scale.

Hackney, London (3 days in‑office / 2 remote)

The Mission

Geomiq is the global OS for manufacturing. We bridge the gap between complex engineering and global production through AI‑driven automation and high‑performance logic. We are looking for a hands‑on leader to own our backend and data engineering as we scale.

The Role: Lead from the Front

This is a technical‑first leadership role. You won't just manage; you will architect, build, and ship.

• Write Production Code: You’ll be in the codebase (Laravel/Python) daily.
• Architect Systems: Design the data pipelines and logic powering global supply chains.
• Lead Senior Talent: Mentor a high‑calibre team of senior devs and data scientists.
• Direct Influence: Work alongside the CEO/Product leads to shape the roadmap.

Note: This is not a “Jira‑ticket manager” role. We value velocity, technical depth, and building over coordination.

The Stack

• Backend: Laravel (PHP) – Essential
• Frontend: JavaScript / Vue.js
• Data/AI: Python, Data Pipelines, AI‑driven automation
• Infrastructure: API‑first architecture & complex third‑party integrations

Who You Are

• A Laravel Expert: You are a senior engineer first, manager second.
• Systems‑Minded: You think in workflows, data models, and scalable architecture.
• Startup‑Tested: You thrive in fast‑moving environments where delivery is king.
• Pragmatic: You know when to build for scale and when to ship for speed.

Why Geomiq?

• Real‑World Impact: We solve tangible engineering problems at a global scale.
• Ownership: High‑trust environment with zero red tape.
• Growth: Direct equity potential and a chance to shape the architecture of a category‑defining company.

What This Role Is Not

• A pure people‑management or “meetings‑only” role.
• An enterprise corporate environment.

If you’re ready to build systems that power global operations, we want to talk.
