About the role

Technical Lead

Introduction

We are looking for a Technical Lead who can take ownership of the technical direction across complex software projects and ensure they are delivered with the right balance between scalability, maintainability, speed, and quality. In this role, you will not only be a strong developer but also a key decision-maker who guides architecture, structure, and execution across teams.

You will work closely with founders and engineering teams, helping translate business needs into solid technical solutions and ensuring projects move in the right direction from both a technical and operational perspective. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in environments where ownership, autonomy, and technical judgment are key to success.
