Job description

Is there a Zenika in you?

Let’s talk skills and passion first.

At Zenika Singapore, we help organisations design, build, and deliver high‑quality software with meaning. We’re looking for a Tech Lead who is both a hands‑on engineer and a compassionate mentor — someone who can guide teams, uphold technical excellence, and shape architectures that solve real business problems.

If you care about Software Craftsmanship, love enabling developers to grow, and enjoy collaborating closely with clients and business teams, this role is for you.

Your Role as a Zenika Consultant:

• Lead and mentor engineers across one or several squads, providing guidance on technical decisions, development practices, and problem‑solving.
• Ensure high technical quality by promoting Software Craftsmanship practices (TDD / BDD, Pair programming, DDD, Code reviews, Clean code and continuous refactoring)
• Shape and refine the software architecture as projects evolve — leveraging your experience across multiple tech stacks (frontend, backend, databases, CI/CD, infrastructure, message queues).
• Support presales by designing tailored technical architectures aligned with client needs, ensuring smooth integration and deployment.
• Ask the right questions during scoping to fully understand business and technical requirements.
• Provide consulting‑style recommendations, helping clients choose the right architectures, tools, and technologies (supported when needed by internal solution architects).
• Collaborate closely with product managers, project managers, and business stakeholders to ensure coherent communication and smooth delivery.
• Promote a culture of learning, collaboration, and excellence within the engineering team and across Zenika.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong background as a hands‑on engineer, with experience owning or designing architectures for multiple software projects.
• Versatility across frontend, backend, API design, databases, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and event/message‑driven systems.
• Experience acting as a mentor or technical leader within a development team.
• Solid understanding of engineering best practices, agile development, and continuous delivery.
• Ability to communicate clearly with both technical teams and business stakeholders.
• Consulting mindset: able to analyse client problems, design solutions, articulate trade‑offs, and make recommendations.
• Experience contributing to presales, scoping, estimation, or solutioning is a plus.
• Familiarity with the Singapore public sector environment is a bonus, but not required.
• Singaporeans and PRs Only
