  • Distribute work fairly to create learning opportunities for all squad members.
  • Provide input on feasibility, effort, and risk in business discussions.
  • Create and run Proof of Concepts (POCs) to de-risk complex tasks.
  • Contribute as a hands-on developer each sprint.
  • Architect solutions that are scalable, reliable, automated, and cost-efficient.
  • Continuously improve technical KPIs such as throughput, error rates, latency, and performance.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 8+ years of hands-on software development in ReactJS, NodeJS, or a full-stack environment.
  • 2+ years experience in a technical leadership role leading 3+ developers.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.
  • Strong understanding of Agile methodologies (grooming, planning, retros, etc.).
  • Excellent communication skills with experience coaching and mentoring developers.
  • Experience designing and building secure, scalable, high-availability systems.
  • Experience deploying and maintaining applications in AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Intermediate knowledge of cloud infrastructure, microservices, distributed systems, and ETL flows.
  • Familiarity with common high-availability patterns such as queues, tiered caching, and containerisation.
  • Practical understanding of DevOps principles including CI/CD automation and observability.

Nice to Have

  • Conceptual understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CDK).
  • Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases.
  • Experience with ORMs such as Eloquent, Sequelize, or Prisma.
  • Experience building GraphQL APIs using a framework such as Apollo.
  • Experience building REST APIs using Serverless, SST, or Laravel.

Why this Opportunity?

  • Lead a modern engineering squad using current cloud-native technologies.
  • Influence architecture, standards, and delivery practices.
  • Work in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.
  • Opportunity to shape technical direction while remaining hands-on.
