Tech Lead - Craftnote

At Aceve, we back the builders of society. Founded in the Nordics and growing across Europe, we build digital tools for the people who construct and maintain our physical world - giving electricians, plumbers, and contractors back their time, clarity, and confidence. With over 900 employees across 8 countries, leading brands in 7 customer markets, and more than €100M in revenue, we’re on an ambitious growth journey, and we’re just getting started. We’re an AI-first company, and we work with grit, openness, and a good dose of joy.

About the role:

Craftnote needs someone who cares about the code and the people writing it. As Tech Lead, you’ll lead a squad of 3-4 engineers, work side by side with Product, and report to the Development Manager. You’ll own the technical direction of Craftnote’s systems, along with the squad’s delivery and growth. And you’ll stay in the code. Some of the path ahead will be foggy, and that’s fine. You’ll have the freedom to lead, make real decisions and see the impact of them.

What will you do:

You’ll shape how Craftnote’s systems are designed, how the squad delivers and how the people on it grow. AI is changing how we build, and you’ll help steer that too.

We believe you have:

• A solid track record of building and shipping production software (usually 9+ years), including time leading a team and growing the people in it.

• A degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Deep full-stack experience across backend, web, mobile and analytics.

• Experience with asynchronous messaging and event-driven integration, NoSQL and relational data modelling, and data modelling and ETL pipelines (e.g. BigQuery).

• Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform (GCP, Azure or AWS) and containerization.

• Fluent German and English, written and spoken, because you’ll work with German-speaking colleagues and customers.

• Experience with agile delivery frameworks, and comfort coaching a team through trade-offs when the answer isn’t obvious.

Bonus Points For:

• Node.js / TypeScript

• Terraform / Pulumi
