Who are we looking for?

We're looking for a technical team leader. In this position, you'll spend between 40-60% of your time hands-on with code, while the remaining time will be dedicated to project coordination and technical team leadership. You will be responsible for providing technical leadership to both full-time team members and temporary contractors.

You'll own the technical outcomes for active projects - making architecture and infrastructure decisions, guiding discovery, and ensuring quality - while staying deeply involved in the code. The challenge is balancing pragmatism with engineering rigor, helping the team make good trade-offs, and delivering results under the real-work constraints. The role matters now because the business needs technical leaders who can both build and lead, not just plan.

Responsibilities

• Develop web and/or desktop applications in line with project requirements.
• Actively participate in the design and development process of software.
• Create, launch and maintain network services, user access control, and databases using Azure and AWS.
• Work with UI/UX designers to achieve the best possible UI solutions for each project.
• Act as the lead developer for software projects and products
• Make decisions about the architecture, infrastructure, implementation, and testing of the software project.
• Independently create and describe tasks within the software project in collaboration with the Project Manager.
• Manage a team of 2-5 developers in executing project-related tasks.
• Oversee quality control and support team members in their daily work.
• Provide support to team members and deliver individual project work.
• Cooperate with other managers to discuss best practices, business opportunities, and team management strategies.
• Collaborate with QA and DevOps teams to ensure efficient delivery of project outcomes to the client.
• Create technical documentation and diagrams.
• Communicate with the client regarding technical details of the software project.

Requirements

• Proven experience in designing and developing web and/or desktop applications.
• Tech stack: C#, any front-end framework, JavaScript, relational databases, understanding of systems design, some experience with cloud infrastructure (any major provider- AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle)
• Fluency in English, both spoken and written.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (Azure and/or AWS) - configuring network services, databases, and access control.
• Familiarity with CI/CD processes, and collaboration with QA and DevOps teams.
• Experience working with relational (e.g Postgres, MySQL, Oracle) and non-relational (DynamoDB, MongoDB) database
• Strong engineering skills
• Interest in managing a team
• Proven track record of code quality ownership, including participating in or leading Code Reviews.
• Ability to design system architecture and make decisions around infrastructure and implementation.
• Ability to create technical documentation and system diagrams.
• Learning agility - You're eager and quick to pick up new tools and approaches. We don't expect you to know everything upfront, but we expect you to learn fast and independently.
• Flexibility - You understand there's no single "right" way to do things. If you insist on industry standards or best practices as the only way forward, this won't be the right place for you. We value outcomes over dogma.
• Pragmatism - You focus on delivering results in real-world conditions - with the tools, time, and constraints available. Progress over perfection.
• Polish work authorization is required.
