WHY WE NEED YOU? GLAD YOU ASKED…

We need a strong Technical Lead to help take our engineering teams and projects to the next level.

The Technical Lead must have a unique combination of technical expertise, leadership skills, and business thinking. As Technical lead, you will help make architectural decisions, carefully balancing between a speedy delivery versus technical debt, extensibility versus over-engineering, short-term goals versus long-term goals, based on each project’s individual needs.

The Technical Lead oversees the software development lifecycle from end to end, and helps ensure consistent and continuous progression. When there is pause or hesitation, you will push to keep momentum and propel the project forward. When there is doubt or uncertainty, you will help steer the project along and in the right direction. When there are assumptions or misunderstandings, you will help clarify and align the team. You will take responsibility from project initiation to successful delivery, with excellent attention to detail and upholding a high standard of quality.
