SimplerQMS - Tech Lead

Are you passionate about shaping technical direction and building high-quality products that make a difference? SimplerQMS is looking for a hands-on Tech Lead to help their validated SaaS platform for the Life Science industry to the next level.

SimplerQMS

SimplerQMS is on a mission to empower life science teams to bring life-saving products to market. We do that by building an integrated quality management platform for the entire life science ecosystem. SimplerQMS is trusted by hundreds of highly regulated international customers, ranging from innovative biotechnology companies to well-known names in the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors.

SimplerQMS is a fast-growing and remote-first company distributed all around the globe and hire for talent and fit before physical location.

Remote first with focus on being cohesive

The team is remote-first with a strong sense of cohesiveness. While the HQ is in Copenhagen, the team is spread across Europe and Asia. Collaboration is asynchronous, they ship daily, and meet physically a few times a year to connect, align, and celebrate.

About the role

As Tech Lead, you'll be responsible for leading a small group of engineers, driving architectural decisions, and staying hands-on with code (expect to code 70–80% of your time). You'll collaborate closely with product managers and designers, break down high-level product goals into small, testable releases, and help cultivate a strong culture of shipping fast and learning quickly. Your role is central in the next evolution of SimplerQMS and the product and you will have plenty of room to grow and place your mark.

The engineering team value simplicity over complexity, shipping over polishing, and teamwork over individual heroics. The current stack includes Rails, Svelte, PostgreSQL, AWS, and a strong emphasis on automated testing and feature-flagged releases.

You'll play a key role in:

  • Leading by example with clean, well-tested code
  • Guiding technical decisions and architecture across teams
  • Helping engineers scope, prioritize, and deliver value iteratively
  • Working closely with stakeholders and supporting team autonomy
  • Shaping the team and mentoring engineers
We think you'll thrive if you
  • Have 6+ years of software engineering experience, including experience leading or mentoring teams
  • Are pragmatic and can turn ideas into working software
  • Enjoy working in product-focused teams with ownership of delivery
  • Are comfortable with Rails (or similar frameworks) and frontend tech (ideally Svelte or React)
  • Thrive in a collaborative and remote-first environment
  • Want to stay close to the code but have a strategic mindset

Bonus if you have:

  • Experience with regulated environments or Life Science tools
  • A strong architectural sense and a bias for simplicity
  • A pragmatic approach to testing and continuous deployment
Engineering principles

SimpleQMS believe great engineering isn't about fancy frameworks but thoughtful decisions. They work in small iterations, aim for continuous delivery, and value clarity, simplicity, and product intuition. Read the Engineering Manifesto for more.

We'd love to hear from you, whether you're in Copenhagen or coding from a sunny terrace somewhere in World.
