Job description

Overview

We’re looking for a Tech Lead who does more than oversee projects — you’ll define direction, spark innovation, and lead a talented team to build solutions that make an impact.

Your deep knowledge of C# SQL and AWS will be your foundation but it’s your strategic mindset and ability to connect the dots that will truly set you apart. As a remote-first team, you’ll have the freedom to work where you’re most productive with occasional in-person meetups designed to energize collaboration and drive breakthrough ideas.

This role isn’t just about writing code — it’s about architecting impact. We want a visionary who thrives on emerging technology, balances strategy with hands-on delivery, and knows how to elevate both projects and people.

If you’re driven by complex challenges, passionate about mentorship, and ready to help shape the next era of technology, your next chapter starts here. Apply now!
