Tech Lead
The company is looking for a hands-on engineering leader who enjoys building scalable systems while growing high-performing teams. This role will play a key part in shaping the product and technical direction.
The position involves software development, quality, and operations. Responsibilities include contributing to scalable solutions, working with data models and persistence, and applying software design principles to deliver testable and maintainable code. Collaboration with Product Owners to refine requirements and support implementation is also key.

Maintaining visibility of the team's technical progress and resolving technical blockers are also important.
Technical ownership and direction involve driving the technical direction of the team, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with the overall architecture. Taking ownership of architectural and design decisions, maintaining visibility of system architecture, and ensuring system health by addressing technical debt are crucial. Alignment with architects and other teams to ensure consistency across the platform is also required.
