Trafi (an Enghouse Company) is building the technology behind smarter, more connected urban mobility. Our scalable MaaS (Mobility as a Service) platform combines two core strengths: proprietary multi-modal routing technology and deep mobility integrations - bringing complex transport networks together in one seamless, user-centric experience. At the heart of this experience is Trafi’s in-house routing engine: the technology responsible for finding, evaluating, and combining different ways of getting from A to B across multiple transport modes.Our technology powers mobility solutions trusted by European cities, including Berlin (Jelbi), Brussels (Floya), Nottingham & Derby (Ride) and Vilnius (Trafi).
We are looking for a Routing Team Leadto take ownership of the team building and evolving our multi-modal routing engine.This is a hands-on engineering leadership role where you’ll combine people leadership, technical direction, and product ownership. You’ll lead a small, experienced team of three engineers — two Backend Engineers and one QA Engineer — and work closely with the team’s Product Manager to shape what we build and how we build it.
This role is ideal for engineering leads who enjoy deep technical challenges, algorithmic thinking, and performance-critical systems, spanning graph traversal, route optimization, real-time search, distributed data processing, and translating research or industry approaches into production-grade solutions.
This is a hybrid role based in our Vilnius office, giving you the flexibility to work from home or from the office based on your preference.
Responsibilities:
- Lead, mentor, and support the Routing team, creating an environment where experienced engineers can take ownership, challenge ideas, and continue growing.
- Set the technical direction for Trafi’s routing capabilities, helping the team make strong architectural and engineering decisions.
- Stay hands-on with engineering, contributing to technical design, architecture, code reviews, problem solving, and implementation where it creates the most value.
- Own the routing domain across the full development lifecycle- from discovery and technical design through development, deployment, monitoring.
- Partner closely with the Product Manager to turn clients and customer needs into a clear technical roadmap and well-defined engineering priorities.
- Represent the routing domain in discussions with clients, educate themand help to reach objectives related with Routing performance in app.
- Work closely with other teams: project managers, frontend engineers, designers, other engineering stakeholders to deliver routing capabilities that work seamlessly across the broader MaaS platform.
Experience:
- 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant hands-on experience building backend systems and APIs; strong experience with C# is preferred.
- Solid foundations in algorithms, data structures, and problem solving, with the ability to reason about complexity, performance, memory usage, and trade-offs between performance, scalability, accuracy, and operational cost.
- Strong system design skills and experience designing scalable, fault-tolerant, production-ready systems, including making pragmatic decisions around caching, partitioning, consistency, availability, and other architectural trade-offs.
- Strong understanding of operating software in production, including cloud infrastructure, observability, CI/CD deployment strategies, reliability, and incident response; experience with distributed, real-time, or performance-critical systems is highly valued.
- Demonstrated technical leadership, with the ability to set technical direction, make and communicate architectural decisions, identify technical risks, and balance short-term delivery with long-term maintainability.
- 2+ years experience leading and developing engineers through coaching, feedback, delegation, and clear expectations, while creating an environment where team members can take ownership and grow.
- Strong communication, prioritisation, and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with Product and other teams, navigate evolving objectives, and lead the team through complex technical and product decisions.
Salary:
The salary range for this position is 7000 – 7833 EUR gross per month (84,000-94,000 EUR gross per year).
