🧠 About Keyformance

Keyformance is a Danish-founded AI & software studio with its primary development hub in Cairo.

We combine Danish quality, structure and business understanding with international scalability and technical talent.

2026 is a defining year for us. We are moving from setup to execution – launching our first core product, delivering selected client projects, and building strong internal technical foundations for long-term growth.

🎯 The role

We are hiring our first Tech Lead – a key role that will shape how Keyformance builds software, teams and products from day one.

This is not a pure architect role and not a people manager detached from code.

We are looking for a hands-on technical leader who can:

• set technical direction
• build development structure and standards
• mentor developers
• ensure code quality and scalability
• work closely with founders and leadership

You will report directly to our COO and collaborate closely with the founder team on product direction, architecture and hiring decisions.

Technical leadership

• Define and own the overall technical architecture across products and client projects
• Set up and maintain a workflow in GitHub (e.g. repositories, branching, pull requests and collaboration)
• Establish coding standards, review processes and best practices
• Ensure high code quality, maintainability and scalability
• Make pragmatic technical decisions – not theoretical ones

Team & structure

• Help design the structure of the development team as it grows
• Support hiring of developers and technical profiles
• Mentor developers and help them grow technically and professionally
• Create a positive, ambitious and high-performing engineering culture

AI & innovation

• Lead and support AI-related development (LLMs, AI integrations, intelligent features)
• Help define how AI is used meaningfully in products – not “AI for AI’s sake”
• Support developers working with AI tools, APIs and workflows

Product & business collaboration

• Work closely with COO and founders on product roadmap and priorities
• Translate business goals into technical solutions
• Balance speed, quality and long-term sustainability

🧠 What we’re looking for

We need a strong, experienced Tech Lead with good energy and leadership instincts.

We value real-world experience over academic theory.

You likely have:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Proven experience as Tech Lead, Senior Developer or Architect
• Strong understanding of modern web/app architectures
• Experience working with AI technologies (LLMs, AI APIs, ML integrations, etc.)
• Solid backend knowledge + good frontend understanding
• Experience working in structured teams with code reviews, CI/CD, Git workflows

You are someone who:

• Takes ownership and responsibility
• Communicates clearly and constructively
• Can influence developers positively and raise team quality
• Is calm, pragmatic and solution-oriented
• Enjoys building things from the ground up

🌍 Why join Keyformance?

• You will shape the technical DNA of the company
• Direct influence on architecture, standards and team growth
