Lead Engineer

As Lead Engineer for Connected Colleague Experience, you'll architect and deliver a system where intuitive UI and GenAI-powered chat work seamlessly together - so colleagues can complete everyday tasks quickly and with few frustrations.

The goal is to build a unified front door to multiple enterprise systems, eliminating the need for employees to juggle fragmented tools while providing conversational assistance enriched with LEGO Group-specific data, workflows, and guardrails. Working with a product manager and designers, you'll set the technical direction for a reliable, scalable, compliant and user-friendly solution that boosts productivity and removes friction.

Take the lead in shaping the technical foundation behind how LEGO colleagues experience and interact with our digital workplace. You'll drive engineering excellence, scalability, and innovation across the Connected Colleague Experience ecosystem.

*Please note that no relocation support is offered for this position*

Core Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and evolve colleague-facing platforms and services that simplify daily tasks, improve collaboration, and enhance overall productivity. Ensure solutions are secure, reliable, and scalable
• Partner with product and data teams to explore and implement emerging AI technologies that create smarter, more adaptive colleague experiences – especially GenAI using an LLM
• Work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers across domains to deliver cohesive, intuitive solutions that align with our enterprise ecosystem and technology standards
• Provide technical guidance, code reviews, and coaching to engineers within the team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and shared ownership
• Proactively address technical debt, performance challenges, and security considerations while maintaining a focus on reliability and long-term maintainability. Help ensure compliance in privacy and AI, for example GDPR and the EU AI Act

Play your part in our team succeeding

As part of the team, you'll help shape how we deliver digital experiences that make every day work simpler and more connected for colleagues across the LEGO Group.

In this role, you'll contribute to the team's success by bringing deep technical leadership, a collaborative attitude, and a hands-on approach to solving complex challenges. You'll help define and deliver scalable solutions, guide technical direction, and ensure that our products are reliable, secure, and easy to use.

By working closely with product and design partners, you'll turn ideas into practical, high-quality solutions that improve the digital colleague experience and support the LEGO Group's broader digital transformation.

Do you have what it takes?

• Extensive TypeScript or similar and modern web technology experience, with a track record of building maintainable, scalable, and performant front and backend solutions
• Hands-on experience designing, building and running large-scale distributed systems, with a solid focus on reliability, security, and scalability – preferably with AWS
• A user-centric mentality, translating complex requirements into elegant, intuitive, and seamless digital experiences for colleagues
• Experience designing and building AI-powered applications, ideally GenAI solutions that integrate LLM-based conversational interfaces with supporting technologies such as vector databases, multi-step orchestration flows, and tool integration
• Strong informal leadership skills, guiding technical direction, mentoring team members, and leading by example - walking the walk, not just talking the talk
• A collaborative approach, working closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to ensure technical solutions align with design intent and deliver a compelling user experience
• An agile approach, focusing on evidence over assumptions—validating ideas through rapid experiments and user feedback to ensure solutions truly meet colleague needs
• A creative brain, viewing LLMs as a new toolbox we can use to reimagine how employees get work done, and turning those ideas into practical, helpful solutions

Advanced English both written and verbal would be ideal as we are an internationally gathered team.
