Jobbeschreibung

What you will be doing

• Own technical delivery end to end: You will take responsibility for technical decisions, architecture, implementation quality, and delivery outcomes across client projects.
• Stay hands-on in the codebase:This is not a pure leadership role. You will actively build software, contribute directly to production code, and help shape solutions from the ground up.
• Work closely with clients:You will participate in client meetings, workshops, and technical discussions to understand business needs, translate them into technical requirements, and propose pragmatic solutions.
• Lead with autonomy:You will act as a technical lead in different project settings, guiding engineers, unblocking challenges, and helping the team move quickly and effectively.
• Balance engineering, architecture, and delivery:Depending on the project and phase, your focus may lean more toward solution architecture, delivery leadership, technical consulting, or hands‑on implementation, but always with direct ownership of the technical outcome.
• Raise the technical bar:You will contribute to code quality, maintainability, documentation, and engineering best practices.
• Explore modern technologies:You will evaluate and apply new technologies where they create real value, including AI‑related use cases when relevant.
