Berlin Bytes
is a creative software development and consulting agency. Together with
Kambria
, our AI transformation partner, we design, build, and scale digital products and AI-driven solutions for clients across the DACH region.
Our projects span
custom software development in renewable energy, automotive, manufacturing, and data management
. We work closely with clients to solve complex operational and technical challenges, from discovery and delivery to long-term product evolution.
We are looking for a
hands-on Tech Lead
who enjoys building software, taking technical ownership, and working directly with clients. In this role, you will lead client projects that require a strong mix of architecture, delivery, and implementation. Depending on the project phase and client needs, your focus may lean more toward solution design, technical consulting, or hands-on engineering, but you will always remain close to the code and the outcome.
This is a role for someone who feels at home in a client environment, makes pragmatic technical decisions with confidence, and leads by doing.
What you will be doing
- Own technical delivery end to end
: You will take responsibility for technical decisions, architecture, implementation quality, and delivery outcomes across client projects. - Stay hands-on in the codebase:
This is not a pure leadership role. You will actively build software, contribute directly to production code, and help shape solutions from the ground up. - Work closely with clients:
You will participate in client meetings, workshops, and technical discussions to understand business needs, translate them into technical requirements, and propose pragmatic solutions. - Lead with autonomy:
You will act as a technical lead in different project settings, guiding engineers, unblocking challenges, and helping the team move quickly and effectively. - Balance engineering, architecture, and delivery:
Depending on the project and phase, your focus may lean more toward solution architecture, delivery leadership, technical consulting, or hands-on implementation, but always with direct ownership of the technical outcome. - Raise the technical bar:
You will contribute to code quality, maintainability, documentation, and engineering best practices. - Explore modern technologies:
You will evaluate and apply new technologies where they create real value, including AI-related use cases when relevant.

Must-have
- Strong German language skills for direct client communication
- Experience in an agency, consultancy, or client-project environment
