Are you ready to navigate a team of engineers through choppy waters, steer them away from hazards, clear obstacles, and keep them well fed with meaningful work?

 In eloomi, the Tech Lead is a hybrid role with one foot into management and the other into the engineering team. You will act as a middle-ground between project expectations and development tasks, and you will be responsible for the success of projects, spending 30% of your time writing code, and the other 70% managing projects.

Objectives of this Role 

• Develop high-quality software design and architecture  

• Identify, prioritize and execute tasks in the software development life cycle  

• Writing distributed, high-volume services, deploy and keep them running in production 

• Automate tasks through appropriate tools and scripting  

• Review and debug code  

• Perform validation and verification testing  

• Collaborate with our team to constantly improve eloomi  

• Document development scope and test scenarios 

Which skills do you need to have in order to be successful as a Tech Lead?

As Tech Lead you are responsible for one or multiple business areas in Tech, and you also share responsibility for training, guiding and mentoring engineers on their team. But the most important skills are sincere empathy, crystal clear communication, and technical excellence. These skills are equally weighted as it is the Tech Lead's job to foster an environment where everyone on the team is able to effectively cooperate and communicate with each other. 

You are an open, thoughtful and empathetic individual, a hard worker, and an eager learner. You are great at:

• Solve complex problems, often touching many systems and sometimes different technologies.

• Work comfortably with web backend technologies and scaling them to handle constantly evolving traffic patterns (experience developing in PHP Laravel or .NET Core is preferred but not required)

• Mentor technical skills, sharing knowledge with team members

• Future proof and follow eloomi standards when crafting, building and deploying solutions

• Communicate clearly, both speaking and in writing (the office’s language is English)

• We also welcome contractors to apply for this role, as well as candidates working remotely
