Technical Leader

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

- 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.
