You’ll be coming in at a pivotal time, with the freedom to shape your team and its direction.
  
Company Profile   
Imagine a company at the forefront of a new market category, building SaaS platforms that enable secure and trusted digital interactions. That's what this team does. They're a fast-moving, innovative business with a mission to create technology that has a positive global impact. With a solid engineering culture and a focus on collaboration and learning, they've built a reputation for being a great place to work, a place where your expertise is valued, and your growth is genuinely supported.
  
Your Role   
As the Tech Lead, you'll be responsible for leading a squad of software development and QA engineers, guiding them from concept to deployment. You'll use your technical expertise and leadership skills to deliver world-class mobile products that are secure, scalable, and robust.
  • Lead your squad through the entire development lifecycle, from technical design and planning to deployment and post-production support.
  • Foster a strong, collaborative engineering culture within your team and the wider organisation, mentoring and developing your team members.
  • Actively contribute to architectural decisions, ensuring the team's solutions are resilient and align with company standards.
  • Proactively identify and resolve technical roadblocks, ensuring a smooth and efficient delivery process.

Your Fit   
You're a seasoned leader with at least two years of experience guiding an engineering team. You have a strong background in mobile development, particularly with React Native and Typescript, and a proven track record of delivering high-quality, production-ready applications. You're a self-starter who takes initiative, and you're just as comfortable with technical architecture as you are with mentoring your team. You have excellent communication skills and an ego-free attitude, eager to share your knowledge and contribute to a collective understanding. Experience with Node.js, AWS, or native mobile development is a bonus, but your passion for high-quality code and positive impact is what truly matters.
