About the Role
As a Tech Lead, you are primarily responsible for the technical aspects of product development. You will mentor engineers, set technical standards, and make critical architectural decisions while remaining hands-on (50%–80% of your time) on backlog and roadmap delivery. You’ll work closely with product managers, engineering managers, and cross-functional teams to build scalable, reliable software and to create a culture of engineering excellence. You will also act as the line manager for your team, owning goal setting, performance dialogs, and ongoing coaching to help individuals grow and succeed.
We’re building a strong new foundation for our company on these products. You will be part of a modern, product-centric technology organisation where agile methodologies and principles are key pillars of our strategy. We’re creating the kind of teams talked about in Inspired by Marty Cagan, and following principles in Accelerate by Nicole Forsgren.
