[Hiring] Engineering Team Lead @Nory

Role Description

We’re looking for an Engineering Team Lead to join our Inventory team. Inventory is one of the key components of the Nory operating software. It underpins COGS, gross profit, financial reporting, and our ability to automate ordering and reconciliation at scale. This team is responsible for making Nory’s inventory data reliable day-to-day, robust enough for enterprise finance teams, and ready to support our 2026 AI vision.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll balance technical ownership, delivery, and people leadership to ship a reliable, high-impact product.

• Own the technical direction and delivery of Inventory at Nory, ensuring data integrity across orders, invoices, stock counts, recipes, waste, and suppliers.
• Raise the reliability bar by leading initiatives like audit trails, immutable data patterns, and locked stock periods – enabling traceability, accountability, and enterprise confidence.
• Improve the accuracy of COGS and stock valuation, tackling complex reconciliation problems such as opening and closing stock alignment, VAT handling, and supplier pricing logic.
• Reduce manual effort through automation, including smart matching, confidence-based routing, and AI-assisted workflows that cut noise, errors, and human-in-the-loop overhead.
• Lay the foundations for explainable AI, building systems where every automated action can be traced, verified, and trusted by customers and auditors.
• Partner closely with Product, Data, Design, and Customer teams to balance correctness, usability, and speed of delivery in a highly operational domain.
• Lead and coach a squad of engineers, setting clear direction, reviewing code, unblocking delivery, and fostering a culture of ownership, pragmatism, and continuous improvement.
• Act as a multiplier for delivery, keeping the team focused on outcomes that reduce churn, improve margins, and unlock scale for Nory’s next phase.

Qualifications

• Significant experience building and operating production systems, with deep strength in either backend or frontend and the ability to work effectively across the stack.
• Proven experience working in cross-functional product squads (Engineering, Product, Design, Data), delivering high-impact work with clear commercial or customer outcomes.
• You’ve designed and evolved systems that stand up over time, making pragmatic trade-offs between speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
• You connect engineering work directly to customer and business outcomes, and you’re comfortable shaping scope alongside Product.
• You take responsibility for your team’s focus, pace, and outcomes, removing blockers and keeping work moving.
• You enjoy coaching engineers, giving clear feedback, and helping individuals grow while building a healthy, high-performing team culture.
• You can explain complex technical ideas simply and work effectively with non-engineering stakeholders.

Requirements

• Experience building financial or inventory systems of record.
• Exposure to AI-assisted workflows, automation, or ML-driven decision systems.
• Experience supporting enterprise customers with audit or compliance needs.

Benefits

• Remote-first working environment - You must have the right to work in the UK or EU to be considered for this role.
• Competitive salary depending on experience.
• Meaningful equity, at Nory everyone is an owner!
• 35 days of paid leave per year (including bank holidays).
• Comprehensive private health insurance via Irish Life (Ireland) and Axa (UK).
• Enhanced parental leave and baby loss support.
• Learning & development culture – €1000 personal annual budget + quarterly book budget.
• €250 home office workspace budget.
• Regular team offsites & socials.
• Work from anywhere for up to 3 months of the year.
• Offices in either London, Dublin, or Spain.
