The Technical Lead will oversee one of several product verticals, providing technical direction, mentorship, and accountability for end-to-end delivery.

You’ll collaborate with Product Management, QA, and Support to ensure that each release meets high standards for scalability, security, and performance — and that your team moves quickly without sacrificing quality.

• Collaborate with QA, DevOps, and Support to ensure reliable and high-performing releases.
• Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement within your vertical.
• Mentor and coach developers, promoting engineering best practices and professional growth.
• Encourage business-aware development — understanding the “why” behind every feature to deliver real value.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools (such as GitHub Copilot) to enhance productivity and accelerate delivery.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 7+ years of full-stack engineering experience with .NET Core, C#, Angular (v13 or higher), and TypeScript.
• Proven experience leading or technically directing a small to mid-sized development team.

• Expertise in building scalable SaaS applications and optimizing performance in cloud environments.
• Deep understanding of SQL performance tuning and data modeling in Azure SQL.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to bridge technical and business conversations.
• Strong sense of ownership — self-directed, accountable, and comfortable in fast-moving fintech environments.
• Business-savvy mindset: capable of understanding domain logic and aligning technical decisions with product goals.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working in fintech or other transaction-heavy, high-availability systems.
• Exposure to AI/ML integration or development tooling.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
• Knowledge of software security best practices.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
