Software Team Leader

Description:

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.

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.
