Technical Lead

As a Tech Lead, you'll bring your expertise into a new way of working. You won't just write code,you'll specify, orchestrate, validate, and ship with AI as your primary collaborator. You'll work in a small, mission-driven cross-functional team called a pod: three functions (Product, Engineer, Quality) with high agency, shared ownership, and no hand-offs.

What You Will Do

• Own a business-outcome mission with your pod:from discovery through production and measurement
• Operate in continuous flow (Kanban): pull work, respect WIP limits, ship daily
• Use AI agents as your primary delivery mechanism|:code generation, testing, spec writing, deployment
• Design, build, and debug software across the stack with distributed systems awareness
• Evaluate and tune agent workflows; steering docs, prompts, rules, skills. You improve the tools you use
• Write clean, well-tested code and take ownership of quality end-to-end
• Map dependencies and integration points before building. Anticipate downstream impact
• Contribute to shared tooling, knowledge bases, and the agent foundation kit
• Coach and grow engineers in the pod, raise the bar on craft, AI fluency, and ownership
• Participate in hiring, interview, assess, and help build the team

.

We assess every candidate across six core dimension

• AI Fluency: AI is the primary way we engineer. You prompt, evaluate, iterate. Manual coding is a deliberate choice, not the default
• Cross-Functional Versatility: "That's not my area" doesn't exist. You contribute beyond your discipline, share openly, and communicate clearly across formats
• Customer and Value Awareness: Ask "why" and "for whom" before "how". Zoom out to see the business, zoom in to trace the bug. Map dependencies before you build
• Craft: Pride in the quality of what you create;specs, prototypes, or code with AI assistance. Clear structure, attention to detail, and a bar that applies to every artefact you ship
• Technical Curiosity: Build a prototype and break it before reading the docs. Stay curious about how things work
• Agency & Entrepreneurship: Don't wait for permission. Own outcomes end-to-end, make others successful, challenge the status quo.

Must Have

• Strong proficiency in at least one of: Java/Spring Boot, Python, .NET, Go, and Angular, with the ability to pick up others with AI's help
• Solid grounding in engineering fundamentals: distributed systems, data structures, API design, database concepts, and cloud computing
• Experience with clean code practices, TDD, CI/CD, and version control
• Experience with application monitoring, observability, and production debugging
• Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes, microservices, and event-driven architectures
• Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (code generation, pair programming, automated testing.
• Experience with agent systems, MCP/tool protocols, or building AI-augmented workflow
• Experience designing evaluation or observability strategies for AI outputs

Nice to Have

• Contributions to shared tooling, internal platforms, or open-source projects
• Background in industries with strict regulatory requirements (gaming, financial services, healthcare)
• Experience with chaos engineering, resilience testing, or performance optimisation
