About the role

CapIntel is looking for a Software Development Team Lead to drive both technical and team success. In this role, you will serve as a technical expert and a people leader, ensuring that the development team is engaged, aligned with business objectives, and set up for long-term success. You’ll lead technical problem-solving, mentoring, onboarding, and performance management, all while fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. If you're a strong technical leader with a passion for both coding and coaching, we’d love to hear from you!

What you'll do

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship, guiding the team through complex challenges.
• Foster a collaborative and high-performing team environment where developers can thrive.
• Drive technical decision-making, ensuring scalable and maintainable solutions.
• Conduct regular 1:1s and coaching sessions, supporting team growth and development.
• Contribute to code reviews, development planning, and process improvements.
• Align engineering efforts with business goals and product priorities.
• Work cross-functionally with product, design, and leadership teams to improve workflows, efficiency, and cross-functional alignment.

• Proven ability to mentor and guide engineers, balancing technical execution with people management.
• Experience conducting code reviews, technical interviews, and performance evaluations.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with an ability to implement long-term solutions.
• Ability to collaborate across departments, aligning technical decisions with business goals.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of conveying technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in fast-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) environment, where collaboration is key.
• Background in technical strategy, DevOps, or cloud platforms (AWS, GCP).

We know that what matters most is a positive attitude, a hunger to learn, and the drive to create quality work and get results.
