Job Description
What You'll Do
Own the technical solution for your squad: architecture, service boundaries, data model, integration design, and the non-functional requirements that usually get discovered too late.
Break business requirements down into a technical plan the squad can execute, with estimates you are willing to be held to.
Stay hands-on. Expect to spend a meaningful share of your week in the codebase, typically on the hardest or riskiest parts.
Run code review and set the engineering standards: branching, testing, CI/CD, definition of done, observability, release process.
Be the client's technical counterpart in design discussions, sprint reviews and escalations, and raise risk early rather than at the deadline.
Manage technical debt deliberately: know what you took on, why, and when it gets paid back.
Own production quality with the team, including incident response and root cause follow-through.
Grow the engineers: pairing, design reviews, feedback, and a clear view of what each person needs to reach the next level.
Contribute to solution design and estimation for new scope on the account, working with Division leadership.
Required Qualifications
Including 2+ years leading a team as Technical Lead, Tech Manager, or equivalent.
Deep hands-on expertise in at least one of Node.js/TypeScript, Java, Python, or .NET, and the ability to read and review code outside your primary stack.
Strong system design: microservices or modular monolith trade-offs, API design, data modelling, asynchronous and event-driven patterns, authentication and authorisation flows.
Practical cloud and delivery engineering: containers, CI/CD, environments, monitoring and alerting, on at least one of AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Proven track record of estimation and technical planning, including the ability to push back on scope with reasons a client will accept.
Working proficiency in English, spoken and written. You will run technical sessions and write design documents in English.
Demonstrated experience growing engineers through code review, mentoring, and design coaching.
