Software Engineering Team Lead

About You

You take a personal stake in the services you partner with and the strategies your team defines and leads. You hold yourself to (almost, but not quite) impossibly high standards. You have unshakeable integrity. You’re always asking why. You are as comfortable speaking to partners, team owners, or even executives in open forums as you are with discussing a burn down chart with a team member.

You’re an accomplished builder and leader of high-performance Technical teams, ready to tackle your next challenge. You have the technical chops to go deep, yet retain the ability to focus on higher-level business and product goals.

As the Software Engineering Team Lead, you play a crucial role in the successful delivery of software projects and the continuous improvement of the development processes and the team members.

We are looking for hardworking and passionate people to join this amazing team. If you feel this is you, we’d love to know you
