Software Team Leader

The company builds software products for clients across embedded, IoT, SaaS, AI/ML, e-commerce, mobile and web. We are looking for a Software Team Leader to own the technical direction of a product team — setting architecture, raising engineering standards, and shipping. You will lead hands-on: writing production code, guiding a small team of engineers, and partnering directly with clients, including large enterprise and banking environments. This is a role for someone who leads by example and treats modern AI-assisted development as a core part of the craft. What You'll Do: • Own the technical design and architecture of full stack applications, end to end. • Lead a team of engineers — code reviews, mentoring, and raising delivery quality and velocity. • Stay hands-on: write production JavaScript/TypeScript across the React and Node.js stack. • Drive AI-first development practices (Claude Code, Cursor) across the team. • Work closely with clients and stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions. • Uphold engineering standards: testing, CI/CD, code quality, and delivery discipline.

Requirements: Must-Have Requirements: • 7+ years as a software engineer, including senior-level work. • 5+ years as a tech lead / team lead: code review, mentoring, and owning a team's delivery. • Expert-level JavaScript and TypeScript. • Expert-level React — hooks, component architecture, and state/data layers (TanStack Query, Redux, Zustand). • Expert-level Node.js on the server side. • Proven ownership of full stack architecture end to end — designing systems, not just implementing tickets. • 1+ year hands-on with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as part of daily work. • Modern build tooling: Vite. • Engineering standards in practice: automated testing, CI/CD, code quality gates. • Fluent with Git, JIRA, and Jenkins. • Professional-level English, plus strong interpersonal and client-facing communication skills. Nice to Have • Additional programming languages and frameworks. • API design and documentation tooling (Swagger, SwaggerHub, IBM API Connect). • Experience working in large organizations, especially banking / financial services.
